What are your stresses? Everyone has them. There are so many pressures in life today – work, making ends meet financially, busy schedules, constant connectedness through electronic devices, and so forth – making it difficult to find time to relax and unwind. We’re pretty good about keeping everything in check though, and holding those burdens inside. If you’re like me, you’re friendly and polite, even with complete strangers. Actually . . . especially with complete strangers. But the minute we are with our loved ones...
A loving family is like a mini-extension of your self. You
look in the mirror and like yourself (hopefully), even seeing all your faults. Well,
your family does too, just like you love them. They love you and know you
better than anyone else, your talents and your flaws, and maybe even more than
we know ourselves. And they love us despite our shortcomings, which makes it
easy to let loose our frustrations and disappointments. After all, they will
love us anyway, right? Even though we might be a little curt?
But we shouldn’t take our families for granted; rather we
should always make an effort to develop an even stronger family unity through
loving kindness. Even when we’re stressed. Why in the world wouldn’t we treat
the people we love the most in this world better
than anyone else? Shouldn’t we treat them always with the specialness they
deserve and with the love they hold in our hearts?
Dictionary.com defines priority as “something given special
attention.” A loving family rocks. We would all do well to remember to show our
families our best attributes, and make family a top priority.
