“And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Mark 11:25. bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Colossians 3:13. Whether in business, in church, or in family, relationships can cause pain and separation.

I’ve always valued hard work and usually resented lazy workers. I started working when I was 12 years old in a grocery store. I worked hard, gained the recognition of my managers, and was rewarded with all the hours I wanted to work. The store was a revolving door of workers it seemed. I worked with some guys who didn’t last long, because they really didn’t want to work.

As with most pastors, I’ve performed a fair number of weddings. Part of being in ministry is helping couples enter the most important of relationships…marriage. It’s a daunting task and responsibility. Prior to a wedding, however, a minister has access to speak into a couple’s life in a way unique to any other time in their life. I feel it’s important to help couples, as much as I can, be prepared for marriage.

I encounter people who think it’s someone else’s job, perhaps my job as a leader, to make them happy. You may have also seen this same expectation of a spouse, a friend, or a parent. Some people expect other people to make them happy. In fact, to me, that doesn’t even seem fair to the person wanting happiness. I may define happiness different than they do.

(I posted this several years ago. It remains one post that I’ve printed more than any other to give to individuals I meet with in my office. I decided it was worth sharing again.). I want to encourage you to write a letter today (if needed). In counseling people who are experiencing difficulty in a relationship I have often encouraged them to practice the art of letter-writing.
