There Were Never Such Devoted Sisters

Though I need to specifically make a blog post about each of my beautiful sisters, I need to take a small moment today to just be grateful for them~Sarah Jane, Amy and Bethany.

I haven't lived a perfect life. Growing up, our family experienced many ups and downs but the overall feeling we had was one of great love and joy. I've talked about my parents, who are wonderful people and good examples. My sisters are the amazing apples that didn't fall far from the tree.

While talking to Amy last week, she reminded me how we were brought up with kindness and caring values instilled in us. This was not only taught by word, but also in deed. IN everything my parents did, we saw their love for mankind and their desire to help everyone around them. It made for a great sense of community wherever we were. My parents still get letters and visitors from all over the country in various places where they touched hearts and made forever friends.

Now WE are blessed to be parents and hand down those same ideals to our children. It's so rewarding to watch your child take part in caring for someone else. It's even more inspiring to know it comes so naturally to your child, because it was taught and practiced in the home. So my gratitude is great as I see the blessings of growing up in the loving family I did. I'm happy that I have 3 sisters who have shown me the meaning of perseverance, kindness, strength, faith, love, and charity. I'm grateful to pass those things down to our posterity and keep the goodness going.

Lastly, I'm so grateful to share with my sisters. We share values, the love of Christmas, Bing Crosby, snow, and Johnny Mathis. The joy of family, the dislike of feet, the thrill of a great lightning storm, the laughter that comes from the embellishment of great stories, passion for music and great books, and the love that only sisters share!
