Learning to deal with family, no matter what the relation, is a lot of work and not always easy. With some relations it goes as easy as spreading soft butter on toast. with others it is like putting a Ice block that weighs a ton into a small cup.... eventually it will fit and work out, but the time and process to get there... seems like an eternity and takes a lot of patience. Some might even ask if it is even worth the wait.. I say you wouldn't know unless you do so.
I have often dealt with the block of ice type of relationship more than the soft butter kind. I know how frustrating it is to see no results or very little results after a lot of work ( you have felt you have done). Many times I have thought of how easy it would be chuck aside the block and drink what I have in my cup and call it good. How easy would that be! But that is not the point and that is not why God sent us family members that were this way so that we can learn.... Learn during the process, understanding while get closer to working, and endless amount of love the comes from it all.
SO... PLEASE ...Dear Father in Heaven... GIVE ME PATIENCE! Cause right now I am struggling with some of those block of ice's.
