A serious challenge in my walk occurs when I have to bite my tongue and remember that the obtuse, contradictory and challenging family member I am talking to is also a child of God. In many families there is that one person you love, but is difficult to deal with. They are always correct and if you, God forbid, repeat yourself, then you have a problem. I am learning to "let it go," move on in the conversation, and limit my exposure to the person. Sometimes I now say,"I see your point" to keep the peace. Always, always...I ask God to be with me before I answer this person's call.
