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..

Re: NOT Bragging but...

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!

Re: NOT Bragging but...

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...

Re: NOT Bragging but...

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

Re: NOT Bragging but...

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.
