I grew up not having a sister-like role model in my life. 2 younger brothers, no cousins close to my age, constantly on the move from school to school, etc. I always tried to keep in touch with people, but time always broke down everything. Being in this community, I have been blessed with countless sisters that I have grown to love, look up to, and take care of. This past week the Lord has been speaking to me through various sisters, as a reminder of love. How blessed am I, to simply hear God working through them just by a phone call or text. In person, the beauty that they radiate is purely inspiring. I have always struggled to be a true daughter of God through my actions and words. The sisters that I have grown to know and love in this community are always constant reflections of Jesus to me. No matter the distance, thank You for blessing me with a lifetime of friendships, love, and laughter.
A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure. A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth. A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy, such as he who fears God finds; for he who fears God behaves accordingly, and his friend will be like himself. –Sirach 6:14-17
