Hang On...

I almost fell off a roof when I was younger trying to retrieve a ball that had been hit up there during a game. To get down, I had to hang on to the edge of the roof and stretch my foot over to a porch three stories up. I don't know why, but the distance I had to stretch to get up to the roof seemed shorter than the one coming down. The problem was simple. Same roof, same porch, different perspectives. Looking down is always scarier than looking up. It is always that way when we are facing trouble with our relationships. What seemed like a small stretch coming up in our relationships has now become a near death experience looking back. How did we get here? What went wrong? He does this... She does that... These are all views from the top looking down to what is usually unsure footing.
The simple truth is this. As we go through the life of a relationship it will always take looking forward and not looking back. Keeping that upward focus enables you to have sure footing even when you are in way over your head. Just as I managed to get down off the roof, you will be able to survive your issues as long as you hand on and keep looking up...
just a thought...
