Relationship with In-laws restored.
Basically, I have got very loving parents-in-law. Both are doing some kind of ministries now. I never felt, that am away from my family (after marriage), until I left for delivery to my parent’s place. When I was pregnant, my mother-in-law used to get up early and cook for me before I leave to office at 7.15 AM. I had work pressure at office and I used to be very tired, due to pregnancy. Both my in-laws and my husband, made sure that I have everything that I need. My husband used to peel pomegranate every day and keep it in the box, daily and will make my lunch bag ready. My Father-in-law will make sure that I have my favorite sweets at home.
After delivering my baby boy, there started misunderstandings between my parents’ family and my in-laws family. Though, there were mistakes from both sides, it brought misunderstanding between me and my husband too.
Whenever he calls up, it would end up in fight. I got frustrated and felt very depressed. And my relationship with my heavenly father also got deteriorated. It showed some physical problems as well.
Eight months after delivery, when I came to Chennai (my in-law’s place), the situation become still more worsened. I was not able to tolerate the mistakes they did/do, sometimes I comment in front of them, whenever I get a chance. Though it pricked me sometimes, I could not control my tongue. I couldn’t live a peaceful life. After doing all these, I will cry in my lonely time with God. Slowly, God made me to realize the mistakes that I did and helped me to forgive whatever they did. Praise the Lord!! Though, I may get reminded of, God helped to understand their situations and made me learn how to lead through.
Both my in-laws used to tell something good about me to others, atleast when I am around. This also, made me think well about them. Though, I have not told the goodness about them, many a times, but I love to do it now. I believe this is one of the qualities to build up a good relationship. I recommended this to my Mom too, a tip to treat her daughter-in-law. God is helping me, to hear what they say and obey to it. It was quite hard, difficult initially, as it is God who said, there is no turning back. God expects to obey elders, for we are children of God.
Even now, God is teaching me, to teach my son, to give respect/obey to what they say and to show his love to them. My father-in-law is so attached to my son and so is my son to both my in-laws. Sometimes, I tried to overrule what they say. But, what they said had only happened. So, I stated leaving it to God. I have noted many times, He wants us to respect elders. If I find something is not acceptable, God is helping me to leave it in prayer. And God takes over.
There are some issues still, but I believe that God is at work. He will resolve everything. I Praise God, for he took over my life and brought back the peace. I pray that I should not destroy the peace, but to multiply it in folds that we have now.
Thanks for reading!! Praise the Lord!! Amen!
