Easter Sunday. The day where you get together with your family, eat good food and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I haven't seen a lot of my family in awhile so I was pretty excited that most of us could get together and catch up. We all have that family member who tries to "one-up" you and brag about how well they are doing in life and how much better they are than you...maybe that's just my family. Anyway, one of my family members tried doing this today and I just couldn't understand it. Today is a holy day, a day where all differences should be set aside and we should be focusing on Jesus and all that He went through for us. The good news is that no one took the bait and engaged in her silly antics.
Getting together with family for the holidays can be a good thing or something that ends up presenting many challenges. You have family members who like to brag, those who don't really get along with each other, those who always have unwarranted advice to give, those who don't approve of what you're doing. You have to deal with all of that, but you do it because it's family and no matter what, they are the people who make you who you are. You can't deny it and you can't run away from it, you take it all with a smile and when you leave, you either look forward to the next time you all meet...or you don't.
What challenges do you deal with when it comes to your family?
Until next time....Happy Easter!
