Sister's Are One of God's Greatest Gifts




I know that it's leaning a bit to the right. I am a little technically challenged so I can't figure out how to fix it. My Technical skills, or lack there of aside. Today I am going to give my two wonderful sisters some praise. I love these two ladies. I admire these two ladies. I adore these two ladies. I cherish these two ladies.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I believe in the strength of the black family. That is because I come from a strong family. I have the privilage of being the youngest in a big family. I call it a privialge because my mother was tired by the time I surprised her. I say that because she was not a strict on me as my sisters, she gave me a little room, just a little. Probably because I had two big sisters to pick up the slack. And they gave me no room, none. Not none. My oldest sister (sitting front and center as always!) gave me my first job at 13. I was her baby sitter. She showed me how wonderful it is to have your own. My middle sister ( standing to my right) showed me how to save. She has to be the most frugal woman I know, even when we were kids she was never broke. I am so blessed to have these two ladies in my life. They show me what it is to be a virtuous woman everyday. I seen them go thru trials in their lives with their heads up and their eyes on God. I've often wondered how they handle it all: Wives, mothers, sisters, friends, employees, community activists, coaches, and certified hell raisers when they have to be. Their answer is always " you just do what you have to do". I guess it's not complicated when it comes from love.
These are my sisters, my friends. In them I have strength in my time of weakness. In them I have shelter in my time of storm. God gave me a wonderful gift when he gave me my sisters.
