It's been 10 days since I last published a blog entry. I've been kind of busy with my family :) I hope that my previous posts left my readers with a few things to think on and be encouraged in a positive light.
Today is a very special day, for it was 21 years ago this day that I became a big sister. I spent a long time as an only child so I was really excited to have a new little sister. Sure we both have our stories from our childhood, some annoying, some funny. But greatest of all they are filled with love.
Psalm 133:1(NLT) says, "How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!"
I praise God that my siblings and I get along and care for each other. Sure we may not always agree on things, but we love each other and when we talk or we're together, the love is evident.
As a mother, I am raising my children to have that same love and respect for each other. I've been witness to broken sibling relationships and they are not at all pleasant. Unity is definitely the more peaceful path and with Christ at the center of our relationships, love certainly wins over all.
My hope today is that if you have a sibling or someone who's just like a sibling to you, that you appreciate them and love them. Be thankful for the blessing of their presence in your life. If your relationship happens to be one that is broken, give it to the Lord. If you don't have a relationship with HIM, begin there and all others will fall into their proper place.
Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised HIM from the dead, you shall be saved.
As I was reading this my eyes teared up. What you post is a true inspiration and I hope all viewers take it to heart.
