NOT Bragging but...
 
Yesterday I recieved the sweetest phone call from my sister and she said to me that my ability to love others was so amazing and how I could see past things that bother other people...I was so blessed by her words as sometimes people do not quite feel that way about me...(ha...) However we are all unique creatures and we all have certain God given abilities. I guess being able to love was one of the reasons God gave us so many children to raise! I love them all...

Sometimes we as humans just need to hear a few words like that..

Well, first off your sister is right!

And, then you are right too - - we are human beings and all need to hear words that encourage and uplift us!

A preacher told me his relationships with his siblings was so bad they would not walk across the street to hear him preach...I cannot imagine that...I love my sisters so much and we are so close...

My sister Bobbie is always helping me with my mail outs and my sister Sherry takes care of helping me on my bills and keeping them paid. If I get behind she goes ahead and pays. she knows I will pay her. They both help me in so many ways. We have such a good relationship...

Sus. Alvear,
That is SO sweet! That sounds like REAL SISTERS to me. I have three
sweet sisters. Once a year we try to take a little weekend trip somewhere
not too far away. We have a wonderful time together. We laugh and play
games and eat good food. Very refreshing. We call it our "Four Sisters Trip".
We have made wonderful memories, taking pictures, etc.

Hugs,
Falla39

That is so sweet sister Falla...life is to short for all the fussing and fighting that goes on in some families.

I use to love to fight, but now that I am more mature I love the relationship I have with my big sibling and my kids.

Seriously, if they are as sweet as you are, I love them already.

Margies, yes I have showed our picture to others and they all agree how much we look alike. Blessings to you and yours. Love you much.

Re: NOT Bragging but...
 
Yes, Bobbie is on th left...she is my middle sister...by the way she said she talked to you maybe on facebook? She is so funny. She plays the piano at a little Baptist mission.
She took her Luthern friend to a Pentecostal church and some of the people started running, her friend whispered to her, maybe we better leave some is wrong...her friend had never been to a Pentecostal church...It was so funny because her friend thought the building had caught on fire and the people were leaving...

Isn't that an amazing tool?! May the gospel go even further by using this means of communication.
