My friend and I visited with her sister and I realized the importance of maintaining family relationships and ties. My family is very important to me. My sister (and my daughter) is my best friend (bar none). Too often we get devoured by the stresses and struggles of daily life. We forget to make the effort to strengthen the bond...with our family AND our friends. It's a rare few that get to live right next door to friends and family. The television version of Mom and Pop living across the street, stopping by or coming to dinner every day is a thing of the past. It saddens me that our society has become so driven for success, fame and fortune that our family and children are low on the priority list. In retrospect, I'm frustrated with myself for getting caught up in the quagmire. Imagine how it saddens our heavenly Father when we treat him with the same indifference with which we treat each other? I pray for forgiveness and the opportunity to strengthen ALL of those relationships that need reparation!

I often wonder why God chose for our paths to be so far apart, but am reminded that he did choose us to be sisters, and for that I am thankful. He has a plan for each of us, and he has shown me how we can still be a blessing to each other, even miles apart! I look forward to eternity with you sis, I love ya!
