Today, my oldest brother, that I haven’t seen in years, is coming to visit!! It makes me think of the verse that says, “There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” I’m thanking the Lord SO much for my brothers and my sisters…and FRIENDS - because if I ever find one that sticks closer to me than my siblings, I’m gonna hold on for dear life!
Brothers in Colorado, South Carolina, and Florida and a sister in Florida…all more than 400 miles away. I have no doubt that any of my brothers or my sister would give me the shirt off their back if they thought I needed it. I also have no doubt that they’d move hell and high water to get to my bedside if I called them. I can call them at two o’clock in the morning - and have - to ask them to pray…and they DO!! The same goes for me…Any time of day or night, any where on this earth…If I can make it happen, I WILL be there for them!!
When my sister was killed in a car accident, I had a brother in Tennessee, one in Montana, and one in South Africa and we ALL moved mountains and air (my brother in South Africa had to ride home in a cargo plane) to be there for each other.
When my husband was hit by a car while doing a land survey away from home, my sister closed down her business to take care of my children and my brother’s were on the phone with the doctors (they’re pastors and can “move mountains) and on their knees to the Father before I even made it to the hospital. I received calls in the emergency room from each one of them - just to let me know they were praying!
God is SO good to give me such wonderful siblings! PRAISE THE LORD every day for your family, because God has put each one of them in our lives to lift us up and be there when NO ONE else will! And, for those friends who “stick closer than a brother” PRAISE HIM, too! He sends us exactly what and who we need when we need them!!
THANK YOU LORD!!
I love you, Jesus!!
