Relationships, Part 1

As women, we tend to be social creatures. Even those of us who are shy and keep to ourselves are still at least observing what is going on with everyone around us.

What topic is almost always at the forefront of our minds? Relationships. They surround us and can even consume us at all times all day every day...and we love it!

The issue is this: How well do we handle these relationships? Or think of it this way, if your friends and family were polled and asked how maturely you handled your relationships with them, what would they say about you?

Would they say you are trustworthy or a gossiper? Loyal or fickle? Selfish or giving?

Over the summer we will be devoting a lot of time time to discussing this central aspect of our lives as women. We love relationships, and so we want to be handling them with class, charm, and Christlike character.

Our first topic will be the relationship between a mother and a daughter, and the advice is not only for the girls. It's for the moms, too. That relationship is so key for all women, whether they are 15 or 50.

I will share more about my relationship with my daughter, Angela, in the coming weeks. We will also be hearing from Kristi and Karen about the relationships they have with their daughters.

Of course, we will be talking about our relationship with God, as well. No relationship is more important than that one. However, that relationship should permeate all your other
relationships. So rather than treat our relationship with God as separate, we will be talking about it always and pointing out how it directly affects our many other relationships.

So look for a new post each week, and leave us feedback either on the blog here or on the Facebook page.

Blessings,
Jody
