> Practical Family Living

Ever say what you think people want to hear? Ever try to keep others from being angry, afraid, going away, or disliking you? So much of this type of communication is a need to control. The need to control traps us. We end up feeling like victims, martyrs, or both. To be free we need to know where we stand and then when appropriate, say what we need to say. We can be gentle about it. No need to be tactless or cruel. We can be free by letting go and being who God made us to be.
