Handling the Stressful Days in Your Family


So, we are about to do one of the most stressful things that a family can do- move.

Since I know that is coming what should I do to prevent exploding when I get frustrated?

Here is my plan:

* Travel to some remote cabin, and have my wife call me when it's over
(just kidding), but it does sound good!

Really now:

* Try to prevent adding to the stress by listing details that need accomplished.

* Build in some fun, unwinding time

* Keep each relationship close and meaningful

* Keep everything in perspective

* Listen to my wife's needs along the way and meet them best that I can

We do need to pay special attention to our relationships in times where we know stress will be a factor. If we don't stuff just builds up and we might say things that we don't mean and then you have a mess in your relationships as well as trying to move.

Leave a comment with other ways that you can think of to help me make the best in a stressful situation worse.

HI Brian
We have been praying for you folks at this moving time. We are planning a BBQ and just some outside fun? How about next Saturday after next, as we have company this weekend too?

Hi, Pastor Brian, My name Neusiane Lima, I'm from Brazil of the Assembly of God. My boyfriend Silliker Craig told me a lot of you. And I found the family Bryan Ayers. I do not know if Craig Silliker, we spoke to you? But I would love to know you, who knows one day. May God bless each day, you and your family.
