God, out of His love, created us for a purpose. We are called throughout our life to discover what that is. As disciples, God gives us multiple gifts to understand the ways of the Lord. It is from this aspect that we practice our faith as true and faithful servants of the Blessed Trinity in thought, word and deed, as well as faith, hope and love.
In conversations with people, I have discovered over the years that everyone has been involved in dysfunctional behavior in their family either directly or indirectly. In an effort to solve this, a few are trying to talk it out between themselves, working to improve one’s behavior over time. Others may attempt an intervention to eliminate the problems. Some are more serious and require professional assistance.
Based upon numerous studies by sociologists and psychologists throughout the years, their results have told us for the most part that our perceptions about life are based on expectations we encounter whether based on what we are told, see, hear, experience or believe. And, from that conclusion, many people decide what reality is in their lives.
