When I was growing up we had a weekly tradition that we called "Closure". It would take place on sunday and sort of finish off the week. What is closure? well, all 11 of us (a blended family) would gather in the living room after dinner on sunday. One by one each person was encuraged to share something they learned either that day in church, sometime over the last week, or even just their lifetime. Only if you wanted to. Once you were done, sharing would be passed to the next person. This was not a time to correct, debate, or lecture. It was simply a time to share what you had learned. Some times they were very brief, even one word. Partly because with that many teenagers you should know at least a few want to hurry up and get on with it, and also because thats just how some did it. Others would share longer thoughts.




I would like this to be a place where Closure can take place. Please share Something you have learned. If you are not an auther on the blog, but wish to share, just post what you have learned as a comment on my last post.

What have you learned this week?

what I have been learning and thinking about this week is, when you truly love someone, you put their needs before your own, you don't try to change them. I look at the life of a mother with her new born baby. Baby cnnot do anything for herself, and the mother takes care of her baby, before she feeds herself or sleeps or claens herself. That is true love. Not saying we should all abandon ourselves because i think we need to love our selves too, truly. But this type of love can exist in our other relationships. So thankful for the many people in my life that have loved and continue to love me.
