Sisters are Friends That Grow Sweeter With Time

I am double posting today, because I decided that I don't want to wait until I'm done giving thanks to make regular blog-posts.

I am thanking the Lord today for My sister.  It was less obvious to me as a child that a sister is a great blessing. We always fought over clothes and who's mess the mess in our room was.  On a few occasions we did tape a line down the center of our room to separate our stuff.  My sister liked to sleep with headphones on and I couldn't stand the whining sound of an apparently miniature band playing far, far away.  She didn't snore, but she would hold her breath every few breaths and then breath a great breath to make up for it. So, evidently I'm a very touchy sleeper, because this made me crazy.  As I raise my children, I hope to train my daughters who are big-sisters to be more patient than I was, and my daughters who are little-sisters to breath like normal human beings.

As we have grown and started having children, I have learned what an amazing blessing it is to be sisters.  I am so happy for my girls that they will grow up having each other to learn to work things out with.  And as adults they will reap the rewards as they share the joys of planning weddings, waiting for babies and sharing parenting advice and recipes.  I hope that my daughters will.  These are my favorite parts of sisterhood.
