Peace Case

Dear Sean, after hearing your situation I thought I would send you a copy of the peace maker. I also wanted to give you some advice on your situation that may be helpful. It seems as if you and your brother have issues with your sister that range all the way back to your childhood. A situation like this can be very bad or very good depending on how you handle it. First of all you should make sure you are in right standing with God. You have an issue with your sister that you did not discuss with her but you spoke to your bother about. You were offended at some of her past and present behavior, but saying things behind her back is not the Christian way and it is not Godly. Matthew 7:3-5 talks about how Christians should not talk about the wrongs of others when they also have wrongs in their lives as well.

I would suggest that you make the first move by calling her back and apologizing for your remarks. After you apologize for your remarks I would suggest that you ask her if it is okay if the both of you ask your mom if she would want a puppy. You should not just take it upon yourself to buy someone a pet. Once that is settle then you meet with her alone for a sit down to discuss some issues that have bothered you for years. If she agrees great. When you meet with her do not approach her with a list of things she has done wrong her whole life that you do not like. You should be the first on to say you're sorry. I would start off by saying I am sorry for the things I said about you. I love you and I don't ever want to see you hurt again. Please accept my apology for anything I have done to you in the past. This may open her up to say she is sorry for the things she has done. If it does, then you can say I have always felt you were controlling since we were kids. That may be true but your still my sister and that is your way of dealing with things and I accept you for who you are, but when it comes to things that we both are apart of I feel there should be equal say.
