Sunday Seven and More

I am changing the Sunday Seven a little. These are the seven steps that our Minister preached on this morning. The sermon title was Seven Biblical Steps to Restoring a Broken Relationship. The scripture used was Philippians 4:2-4 This passage is about a conflict between two women in the Philippine church that Paul addresses.

1. Talk to God before you talk to the person
2. Take the initiative--Don't wait for the other party
3. Be a good listener--Be quick to hear and slow to speak
4. Acknowledge your part of the conflict
5. Attach the problem--Don't fix blame
6. Cooperate as much as possible--Make peace
7. Emphasize reconciliation not resolution--Focus on the relationship, not the resolution of the problem

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
