What is Most valuable!

The things in life that matter the most to us can be the things that we often take for granted.  We get so wrapped up in our busy lives that we often snap at the people that we love and that we would call our biggest treasurers.  I have been thinking recently on how God has given me so much more than i could ever deserve and the most valuable prize that God gave me was my family.   But let's face it our family can also be that prized treasure that brings on fustration.  Family is the prized possession that needs constant work!
Constant work and more constant work.  If we want to build a happy family life we need to work hard at it.   The hardest work is forgiving and not holding on to resentment.  I remember the past arguments that i had with my husband at the beginning of our marriage and the first thing that would come out would be my big long list of wrong doings and most times my husband would question whether my list was valid since he couldn't even remember most of the things that i would point out to him.  Isn't that ironic!  i can't remember what i ate yesterday but i could remember what happened years back. 
What impacts and registers with great impact in our minds are any disappointments that we receive from those we deeply love and care for.  These things are the reason that brings destruction into our family and marriage.  Resentment! This very word destroys families and friendships.
It's time to let go, holding on to the past doesn't improve your future.  Make the choice to live life by enjoying every minute you spend with those you love and erase the list of wrong doings from your mind.
