Just returning from a weekend with two of my sons and their fmailies makes me sensitive to the dual role I play as a mother and as a mother-in-law. Hard to walk that line sometimes.Pat's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569560070613448167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013183004373636783.post-15881904191461940342009-03-22T22:44:00.000-07:002009-03-22T22:44:00.000-07:00Janalyn- You know that your heart is in the right ...Janalyn- You know that your heart is in the right place. I think someday she will know it too if you continue to reach out to her. It's a shame when families are not on good terms, because it doesn't hurt one or two--it HURTS, WEAKENS and DIVIDES the entire family. I hope she will someday understand this important lesson in forgiving.<BR/><BR/>Everyone makes mistakes and no one will get out of this life without making many. So continue in your attempts to be a Peacemaker.Barb Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622630143832437565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013183004373636783.post-48097740279008968382009-03-22T22:34:00.000-07:002009-03-22T22:34:00.000-07:00Janna- This is such an important passage for most ...Janna- This is such an important passage for most people. Holding our tongue and also forgiving is something humans have to practice over and over to get it right.

I just don't know how far a person should go to make peace if the others aren't willing to do anything at all. I don't like letting things drag on and know that in the end peace and happiness is worth sucking it up and barring my pride.Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09145734375413617062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013183004373636783.post-7200023356417542452009-03-22T19:12:00.000-07:002009-03-22T19:12:00.000-07:00The thinking before speaking is crucial to me righ...The thinking before speaking is crucial to me right now: I'm working on taking my time before speaking, though more to calm my nerves and bolster confidence when I get intimidated.
