Week 18 · May · Mother's Day / family complexity.

Honor without pretending

Family is a field, not a greeting card.

Formation

May puts family on the calendar whether the story is clean or not. Honor what is honorable. Tell the truth about what is not. Do not perform a peace that is not there — and do not pick a war for sport.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Romans 12:18

The move: One honest, kind contact with family. No novel. No scorekeeping.
