Life causes ups and downs. Hurts, JOys. I remember when as a teen my sister would go over to the neighbors and my step father didn't like it. He sent her to live with the real father. Both places were disasterous for us. From hurts scars formed, and the tender sweet girl of 16 became calloused at times, not at the end, we didn't speak for many years, but at the years ending, there was not a kinder gentler sweeter person, than my sister. This is the gift the Lord has given us both. We shared a common goal, we had dreams, and visions, many came true for her, a nice marriage, house a job she worked at the usps for 27 years. Went to collage and got a bsa in teaching. Struggle and stress takes a toll on many. We do our best, and the rest is our pure rest in Jesus arms, taking us home to be with him, forever and ever, and ever.
