Sister

Grandma has a sister. I don't know much about their relationship other than the the story Grandma told me about when they were little and she would tell Aunt Verna stories. Right at the end when it was the climax of the story she would always say, "And they all withered up and blew away." Aunt Verna would get so mad!

I have spend this past week watching my mom get strength and courage from her sister. Watching them get each other in ways that few people can. Watching Auntie get silly and laugh through a stressful season.

I have watched Julee and Jess have that same connection. Their bond throughout the years has deepened and matured.

It makes me wonder what it must be like to have a sister. I imagine its like a best friend that never goes away. Someone who, in good times or bad, knows how to make you laugh and smile. Also someone who always knows what buttons to push when she chooses. Someone to share life's joys and trials. She's a gift.

Loving Generations

What a beautiful blog! I pray that this blog will be a gathering place for the women of our family.

The wisdom of the ages, the wonder of the fledglings. May our posts take flight and penetrate hearts.

Let this be a place of love and growth and caring. Of glory and honor to the One that binds us all.

Won't you share this space with me, women of the clan?

Let's see what the Lord will do!

- Julee
