"Relationships are a book we write with someone else. Some chapters are wonderful, others ordinary, and inevitably a few that are awful. The value of our book is not reflected in any one chapter, but a result of the beginning, the end, and everything in between. Each moment is a chance to begin a new chapter." - Christian Life Coach Ministry
As a writer, I love this view about relationships! It's a wonderful reminder that just because we might have an awful chapter in our "book" with someone, that doesn't mean that that's where our story has to end. "Every moment is a chance to begin a new chapter." Every moment is a chance to change, to reach out to that person and mend what's broken, heal what's hurt. Our stories don't have to end on a sad or bad note. There's always that chance for a happy ending.
