God's Message

Cebastyan got a message that on this day, God wants her to know...
... that every relationship rests on three legs: accepting, supporting and challenging.

That's really it, isn't it? You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are. On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs. On challenging each other to become more, to grow, to flourish. Which one of these is the more difficult one for you, and how are you going to practice it in the next 24 hours?

I would have to admit that each one has been difficult at one time or another but God has a way of presenting us with many opportunities to get it right. That's one of the things that motivates me to push forward in difficult times. I want to get the lesson over so the misery can be short-lived! I heard a country song lyric say..."if you find yourself in hell keep moving, before the devil knows you're there." There's a truth to that.

I can think of several friendships I've made here in AARP land that fits this three-legged description of relationships. As long as I am open about who I am, where my heart and mind are at the moment, people will be there to accept, support, and challenge. Just letting you all know, I appreciate your friendship and the love grows on!
