Three types of Relationships:::

I am reading the book "Margins" by Richard Swenson. The book is a great book that discusses one of the greatest challenges of our lives is nurturing and protecting right relationships. There are three relationships we must work hard to nurture.

* Social ::: my relationships to others
* Emotional ::: my relationship to myself
* Spiritual ::: my relationship to God.

To find balance in life we must work as hard on all three of the above relationships as we do our "work". In life we often find ourselves "working" hard to bring home a paycheck and advance our ministry and/ or goals only to see the three relational areas be neglected. This book helps one redirect and refocus our energies to help ensure that we will maintain effective margins.
