After penning the "Be Nice or Go Home" post, I received an incredible amount of feedback. Seems we all face some of the same obstacles in sickness or in health. To be honest, life & relationships on any level can be difficult & not one family- including our's- is excluded from it's difficulties.
For as many people who are together is the amount of opinions there are to be had. It just doesn't seem to matter if it's what restaurant to go to or how a project is to be done, there are opinions flying! All the more to embrace "Be Nice or Go Home!" Respect is an absolute necessity in families & community. Respect is a required part of any success in any relatioship whatsoever. Our family is far from perfect & respect is the only way we survive!
Cancer doesn't make things better or worse. It only magnifies what is already established in the relationship. This cancer walk is long & hard. And, respect shown by all parties is the only way to make it through these days. When we respect Jesus' characteristics of compassion, patience, mercy, slowness to anger & utter love, then the road is made smoother, but it is still hard. Jesus makes the road doable.
So, to "Nice" we add "Respect." Respect at every turn, in all situations, with all people.
Blessings!
