Sisters are different flowers from the same garden. ~Author Unknown
A sister is a forever friend. -Author Unknown
The best thing about having a sister was that I always had a friend. ~Cali Rae Turner
Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring - quite often the hard way. ~Pamela Dugdale
One of the areas our family is attempting to be counter cultural in is the area of sibling relationships. The world tells us that siblings fight, compete, and generally find each other annoying. However, the Bible teaches us that the family is a wonderful part of God's plan for making us into the person God desires for us to be. One of the "mom phrases" I'm sure my girls will repeat later in life and say, "Mom always said..." is "Your sister is your best friend." While my girls still get into disagreements and struggle as they learn to play and interact we are trying to use sisterhood to teach them how to be patient, kind, understanding, and loyal. I know having my little sister Josie has been a huge blessing in my life and I want my girls to enjoy this same blessing.
