My sister, my friend

 

Somehow, I made it through the whole week without a decent picture of my sister. But I couldn't let that stop me from bragging about her a bit too--though now that I've started this post I'm finding it hard to even put into words.

Susan is truly a beautiful woman of Proverbs 31 caliber. Beautiful inside and out. She is my little sister, and yet I look up to her. She is a strong woman of God (no pun intended). She is my confidant and my encourager. I can trust her to listen and understand. We've been through such joys together and such depths of sorrow. She is an unwavering reflection of love and grace. She is talented in so many ways--as a mom, teacher, business woman, worshipper, and wife. She amazes me the way she juggles it all so selflessly.

I love you, Susan. I'd choose you as my best friend even if God hadn't chosen you as my sister. You are so precious to me. Thank you for the ways you've poured out of yourself and into my life.

I am humbled by reading this, because in so many ways, I see how I don't measure up to the Prov. 31 woman. I always pray that I am a listening ear and a source of Godly council, so to actually see it in print from my precious sister, is a blessing. We have shared a wide spectrum together, haven't we, and that's just counting the last 5 years!!!! I love you more than I could ever express. You are my best friend, the person I can be myself with, the person who I can count on to put the pieces back together when I fall apart. Thank you for the figurine. It is sitting on my shelf above my kitchen sink so that I can look at it often (and you know how often I'm there)!! You are such a wonderful, unselfish person, and I love being around you and hate when I can't be. I'm praying for you!
