Psalm 94:17-19
"Unless the Lord had helped me, I would have soon died. I cried out, 'I'm slipping!' and your unfailing love,
O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer."
Lately I have been frustrated with my girls and their actions and attitudes towards one another. Being 17 and 12 I know that they will have their conflicts--as all of us with sisters had when we were growing up. But, I know the bond that forms between us sisters that can never be broken. I remind the girls all the time--"You are sisters for life! You will always have each other--so LOVE each other with your actions and attitudes towards each other!" I do glimpses of that love from time to time--when I see them giggling together over something or playing with our dog and truly enjoying each others company. I love those moments--it helps me to see that in the future--no matter where life takes them--they will have each other. My mother said the same to be this past fall when we us girls were all on a cruise together...she loved seeing us 3 girls enjoying each other and having a great time together. I think I am beginning to understand what she means...that when I have gone home to Jesus--my girls will be there for each other--always and forever!
I love my two sisters from the bottom of my heart! And when one of them is struggling with something--it hurts me so deeply--as if I am the one who is going through the trial. We may not always see each other often--but our love bonds us together. As the saying goes "sisters by birth...friends by choice".
Hug your sisters close! Tell them how much you love them and what they mean to you.
Sisters are life-long friends that love you no matter what!
Thank you Lord for the gift of sisterly love!
