Taking Care of Our Most Important Relationships
January 6 - March 3, 2019
As we kick the new year off we will be focusing on how to take care of and tend to our most important relationships in life. After all, not too many people come to the end of their days wishing they had worked more. Most people realize their relationships are the most important thing God has given them. And these relationships cannot be taken for granted. They must be cultivated, cared for, worked on and if you are like me, need special attention because I tend to get preoccupied from time to time with other "important" things and I neglect what is most important in my life. Has this ever happened to you?

And yet somehow Joseph finds it within himself to let that grudge go and to forgive those that sought to end his life.As we continue to learn about how to take care of our most important relationships, come and let's talk about the role forgiveness plays.
