I have two wonderful daughters in law. I find myself very blessed in this. Like many of you I know of several older ladies who do not have that kind of relationship. In some cases the rif between both mother and daughter in law causes a rif also with the son caught in the middle. How blessed am I that I do not have that kind of angst in my life. Tomorrow my older son’s wife Betty has a birthday. I was thinking this morning how much she does for me and how grateful I am for that. She is a person pleaser by nature but she also has a desire to serve. Happy birthday Betty!
These kinds of relationships do not happen by chance. They are a gift from God in my humble opinion. They require work on everyones part. Work that is driven by a desire to please God and to be grateful. God is good. He is holy. His mercies are new every morning. There literally is none like Him in all the earth. Trust Him. Walk with Him. Choose Him.
