Remember this post,
where I posted that "families can be a bit tricky.
And maybe talking to them makes you feel a bit wrinkly on the inside . . . "?
Well, there will always be wrinkles, I know.
But one certain wrinkly relationship,
the one I was really referring to
when I wrote that,
has been so sweet and gentle
and refreshing
lately.
There was a day and evening
of lots of tears and talking.
There have been many prayers
for understanding and grace.
And God is good.
He provides.
He provides such tender answers.
Over the past few months
I have felt things easing
in this relationship.
There is room
to be ourselves
and have our differences
enhance our relationship
and be something positive,
not something negative.
I am so very thankful
for these bits of sunshine:
this lovely friend,
forgiveness,
laughter,
love,
and restoration,
and most of all for
God's goodness
in all of this muddle we call life.
