Building & Nurturing Strong Relationships! Morning Minute 11.11.25
|
Reader: How much is a relationship really worth? Why is it worth the effort? Morning Minute – November 11, 2025 “Building & Nurturing Strong Relationships!” Consider your relationships with your family, your friends, your associates, and your customers. If you were starting over, what would it cost, and how long would it take to rebuild those relationships? And, what approach would you take to be successful? Strong relationships require consistent daily work. May I suggest that we already have the formula? “Regardless of how others treat you, treat others as you want to be treated;” the Golden Rule! People who enjoy strong, lasting relationships share identifiable traits and habits:
Reference: (Matthew 7:12) “So in everything, do unto others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” MORNING MINUTE CHALLENGE: Identify a family member, friend, associate, or customer where the relationship has weakened. Reach out with genuine care and humility to mend what’s broken. If they accept, you’ve restored something precious, saving the relationship. If they decline, you can be at peace knowing you honored the Golden Rule, and gave love its chance. “Building & Nurturing Strong Relationships!” That is today’s Morning Minute. *** If a family member, coworker, or someone you know may find this message helpful, interesting, and/or informative, please share it with them.

Reader; By what standard, or by what reasoning, do you determine what is, or is not evil? Morning Minute – November 14, 2025 “How Do YOU Recognize… Evil?” To recognize evil, we first have to define it. As a noun, evil means intentional harm, a moral wrong, or the absence of good. As an adjective, it describes what is morally wrong, wicked, or cruel. But notice—neither definition tells us by what standard we decide what is evil.
