Siblings

The gift of a brother or sister, to me, is probably the most precious. Having an older sister is my most treasured earthly "present" (for lack of better word). What good is a movie with no one to laugh or cry with you? Or a video game without someone's score to beat? Or a book or music with no one to discuss it with? Or a giant gameroom with no one to help you fill it with noise? I should think it would be a very dull life, indeed. My sister helped me through almost every major happening in my life, and taught me to turn to God always, because people will always fail at some point. She inspired me to work hard at school and reminded me that everyone has at least one problem they struggle with. She taught me about late night theological debates with people halfway around the world. She taught me about work that doesn't pay, like constant, heart-straining prayer for someone having a life struggle. My sister is so much better than I could wish to be. I think that, if I could possess even an ounce of her strength or faith, it would make such a difference. I thank God every single day for giving me a sister!
