WAS left, focusing on me, DB'ing like an amateur

I went to the Saturday night church service since I am attending my first Meetup hiking event tomorrow morning and would have missed the service.

The message was on dealing with difficult relatives. The main points were-
Reconsider your expectations- God never promised a perfect family
Refill your grace tank- It's what keeps families working, we all fall short and need forgiveness
Reserve judgment- The story is not over and your history does not have to be your future.
What kind of relative am I? I know I can use a lot of work in this area, which is where my changes are coming in now.

I went up during prayer time and forgave my mother in law with the help of a prayer minister. It felt good to let go of the resentment. I don't want to harbor ill will toward her or anyone. The minister mentioned a book called "Forgive to Live" about the physical effects that holding a grudge have. I am interested to read it sometime.

All in all, a good evening. Going to hit the weights and elliptical now and then take my German Shepherd for a walk.

Thanks for stopping by.
