I am in the business of raising girls.
You could say business is going well at our house as we have produce three of them.
7 years old.
4 years old.
5 months old.
I take my job seriously.
Some day this souls will venture out into the world.
I pray over them, seeking guidance and wisdom that is beyond me.
One of my greatest wishes for these women in waiting is that they have a forever sister bond.
The kind that surpasses circumstances, interests and age.
I don't think that I can create this, make it happen.
I just pray that the home they grow up in fosters, and sets the stage.
But how, how do we do this as mothers?
What are the ingredients?
I grew up with one older brother.
It's just different than sister love.
While we are friends, we also are very independent of each other.
There is just something so special about sisters....I wish that special for my girls.
So to all the sisters in the house...how do you do it?
What is it that pulls or pushes you together or apart?
What's the secret?
I am a sister to 3 brothers; our daughter is a sister to 3 brothers. We both long for that sister bond. My mom has 4 sisters. There is nothing like it, is there?
ReplyDeleteGive them time & space to get to know one another and enjoy one another... forming those special bonds. Teaching them to respect one another is probably the biggest blessing you can give them. Respecting their differences... and they'll TREASURE the common memories & experiences! :) You're doing an AMAZING job!!
ReplyDeleteJosey said it very well...teaching them to respect and care for each other is so important. As a sister who isn't in contact with mine right now, I see now just how important that missing aspect of our childhood was/is. I'm sure you are doing a wonderful job! Thanks for stopping by my blog! :)
