Jeff Long wrote this column and I like his work. It talks about the mistake he made in an early church of trying to get two women to get along. He says the word "grudge" comes from a German word meaning :to howl". Hurt is at the heart of grudge-holding. It becomes your protection and your fuel.
A family that is wrenched in keeping individuals safe when there are problems hovering everywhere need to realize that each one of the people need to do what is right in dealing with others and that is a good start. In our case, the family is way too far gone to ever be put back together but we can treat each other with dignity and courtesy. Maybe along the way, some of the grudges can be a bit lifted. When someone dies, the game is over and there is no more time! (My dad is pictured.)
