The biggest blessing to my relationships is an understanding of the grace of God. Knowing I have been forgiven and that I am loved unconditionally by my Creator helps tremendously. It makes me real secure in who I am. It frees me to give others mercy and room to grow. When I am oriented to grace and others are looking at relating based on grace, those relationships flourish.

A bigtime relationship booster is prayer. Every Tuesday and Friday morning a few of us gather between 7:00 - 8:30 am to pray for our nation, our church, various needs we are aware of, and each other. I am probably closer to that little bunch than any other folk I know outside of family. Prayer tightens relationships!
ReplyDeleteCommunication that is strong and open makes relationships bloom. Poor communication will cause relationships to shrivel and die. The flow of information and verbal support is something to keep very high on the priority list for every relationship that's important to us.
ReplyDeleteIf you want your relationships to work well then there must be an investment of time. Both quality and quantity are important. There is no value in words of love if you never have time for the one the words are aimed at. Work it out!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to sound like a no brainer but we sometimes forget the basics. To make relationships thrive we need to be nice. It is said that a dog's love is unconditional. In looking after my daughter's dog these last few days, I've found she loves a little more when she gets a doggy treat. Just being nice does make a differnce for humans too.
