Doing the Right Thing

02 18 11 Friday

There is something to be said about restoring and reconciling relationships.  This is a great day to renew a broken and destroyed friendship.  Take the path less traveled today.

We all have relationships or friendships that have been hurt during our lifetime.  I know I have messed up many of my friendships.  There are some that I really believe in time will be restored. I am doing my best to try to make things right.  We need to take the time to make an effort to rebuild the relationships in our life.  You may have to apologize or just let the other person go off on us.  Take the side of humility and do what the right thing.  I know in my mind that all the relationships I have broken will not be reconciled, but in my heart I don’t know that yet.  I will still do what is right and try to make it right.  When we realize that nothing is as important as people and people make friendships; then we will see the importance of reconciliation.  Forgiveness, humility, grace, mercy all wrapped up in love will allow it to happen.  Without those qualities we will just go through life continuing to leave a wake of destruction behind us.  Go the extra mile again today and restore a broken friendship.  In the end, you both will be glad you did.
