Sisters

I truly have the world's best sisters. I know of a family where all the sisters are total drama queens and either hate each other or hate their parents. Half the family is estranged from one another and they act in mean and spiteful ways.

Then I think about my sisters and am overwhelmed with gratitude.

gives of herself more than anyone I know, but doesn't realize it.

Each one of my sisters is incredible and loves me and serves me continually. I could not do without any one of them. They are all have beautiful voices, and I love singing with them. I love doing pretty much anything with them. And did I mention how beautiful they all are?

You must not be feeling very great. Either that or terribly nesting. You haven't posted in a month! I miss hearing from you. I hope all is well and you guys are coming to Bryan's party.
