I was just talking with one of my sisters. We were laughing and joking, but the conversation had to end, as all things must. Thinking back on how much I enjoyed it, I have to ask myself, "What is better than a sister?" My relationships with my sisters and brothers are so enjoyable to me, and I love them very much. They enrich my life in ways that are beyond counting. I'm so glad that my parents didn't use birth control until after my youngest brother was born. If they had, I might have missed being so deeply connected with one of these wonderful men and women. I know that it was very hard work for Mom and Dad, but Mom often said to me, "I worked hard to give you kids a good life, but it was so much fun, too." It's wonderful to have a generous mother like mine.
Barb and I were talking about love, and both of us agree that the love closest to God's Love is that of a mother. It's really a blessing to see a mother's love in action. No matter how big a jerk the child is, the mother sees the good and loves. Even when she sees the bad, she still loves, it's just more painful. It's difficult to see that God loves me that unconditionally, but He does.
