Bridges of Peace

As we focus on that which we appreciate in our lives especially in our relationships, we are more drawn in grace toward one another. Offenses and walls of hostility keep us at a distance from one another. Love and gratitude draw us toward the other. Christ is our peace, and he is the ultimate peacemaker. He is the bridge between us and God, and his love can also bridge any gaps between us.

Gratitude strengthens our social bonds. This is so important to remember! If we are having trouble with impatience in our relationships, remembering what we love and appreciate about the person is a good place to start. Relationships are two-way streets; if someone doesn’t respond well or at all, we can choose to adjust our own boundaries accordingly. However, let’s be sure to do what we can to extend kindness and grace in order to do our own part as well as possible.

When you find yourself losing patience with someone close to you today, slow down, take a deep breath, and consider at least one thing you appreciate about them.
