Ron: Got a strained family relationship? Maybe it’s time you wrote them a tribute.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: “But Ron, we don’t have a good relationship—and there’s a lot of water under the bridge. Why would I write them a tribute?” Oh, it’s a lot easier to do for someone you already admire. But sometimes you have to write one to find appreciation.
My friend wrote a tribute to her stepmom. They didn’t have the best relationship, but giving thoughtful consideration to all her stepmom had done for her opened the door first to healing and forgiveness in her own heart; and secondly the things she shared led to new conversations and ultimately to a better relationship. Maybe, just maybe, choosing gratitude will do the same for you. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
