Reconciliation

Cullen turned 5 on July 31st. It was a great day and we had a large amount of people at our house. The highlight of the day, other than Cullen receiving FIFA 2007 soccer for the X-Box, was the fact that for the first time in a very long time I had my grandparents at a family function at the same time as my mother. My parents got a divorce when I was 2 and I would visit my dad and his side of the family a couple times a year. Throughout the years, especially the last 2, a great deal of reconciliation has taken place. Mainly with me and the way I have viewed my dad and my grandparents. It is wonderful to be able to say that I forgive them and love them very much. I am so thankful to the Lord for taking out my bitter and hateful heart. I used to struggle with expectations of how it should have been and should be, but I have learned that it is important to enjoy what you do have and see where it goes. To God be the glory for the redemption of this sinner and of relationships. He is a good King.
