Maintaining relationships requires effort, so it’s easy to become estranged and lose touch with some of your family members, but that’s not the best way to live life.
Mathew 5:9 states, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God.” Be the peace maker in your family by doing what you can to restore peace.
Swallowing your pride, extending the olive branch, and being the bigger person by overlooking past and present arguments and incidents is highly desirable, but will require much effort.
Remember you can only change you, not the other person. They are the only ones who can change themselves. However, as much as it is up to you, be a person of peace who nurtures lasting family relationships.
A word is enough for the wise…
