Waist-deep in the same fight, with the same two people, repeated on at least an annual basis for most of the past decade, and finally thought to ask them if they had ever seen the movie.
Finally thought to ask why we keep waking up in this same day, over and over.
Finally thought to get out of the accusations and defenses.
Finally thought to ask why there is not enough trust in our relationship to make this argument needless.
Finally thought to make it about us, instead of about who is right.
Will it help?
Only time will tell, for the gap between us is broad.
But even a gap this broad has to be worth trying to bridge.
If we give up, why should anyone try?
Lord, get us out of Groundhog Day, and into the business of becoming peacemakers.
Lord, let us see Your image in the faces of those we fight, and help us love them as You do.
