31 days, 31 questions, 31 answers - Day 14

I read an article by author, professor and theologian Don Whitney that listed 31 questions to consider for a new year. I decided that I will answer one question each day in January. Here is the fourteenth question, and my answer.

1.      What habit would you most like to establish this year? I don’t know if you would call it a habit, but I would like to be much better about being in contact with family. I am in constant contact with my immediate family. But, I do want to make great efforts to reach out to extended family this year. Recently, my wife lost her grandfather. While we traveled to the funeral, I became more convinced of the need to reach out to family. There may be some burned bridges that need to be repaired. I need to start rebuilding those bridges. There may be some forgiveness that I need to extend to family members. There may be some apologies I need to make to family members. For the sake of my children, my wife, and me, I will make every effort to improve in this area.
