My sister says...

My sister (aka Maria Munster or Sissy) says "post early, post often". She likes to check her email and peruse her blogs throughout the day when she gets a chance while she is at work. (You know like at lunch or during her scheduled breaks). So this post is for her.

My sister says "We don't believe in luck" and we don't. We believe that God is in control, nothing happens by chance or luck.

My sister says "I miss my mama". I miss my mama too. Her birthday is coming up on October 2 and we will all hold our cider glasses high as we pay tribute to our mother's legacy of Christian faith and family.

My sister says "Love ya mean it", well that is because she does love me and well, she does mean it. No sarcasm here.

Speaking of sarcasm... my sister also says "sarcasm is no way to parent". It always comes back to haunt you.

My sister says "Sparkle", No, wait a minute that is me. I say sparkle, she says "spar". We have to remind each other to sparkle as God created us too. Zechariah 9:16&17a:
The LORD their God will save them on that day as the flock of His people. They will sparkle in His land like jewels in a crown. How attractive and beautiful they will be!

My sister says "Where have you been? You aren't answering either of your phones." She says this when she has tried me multiple times on both my home and cell phone and I seem to be "ignoring her". It is good to have someone that wants to get a hold of you. I am glad my sister makes it a point to call me "early and often".

My sister says "We should be thankful for the husbands God gave us". And she is right. We both have husbands that are perfectly selected by God for us, not only because of the positive qualities they possess or their work ethic, but because they are both willing to put up with our flaws.

My sister says "I just love my nieces and nephews, they are so sugary". She does love them and they think she is awesome too. She is purposeful to make sure they know she cares. She looks at them individually and she prays for their welfare.

My sister says "I've got to go to Bible Study, or Women's Ministry or Small Group".. she makes sure to fill her life with good things especially God's Word and fellow believers.

My sister says "I'm getting another call, I have to go..." Usually she has to go because its her good friend calling and I get a little envious. Mainly, because I am not there to do the things with her that her friend can do. Oh well, maybe one day we can live in the same town (I prefer Columbus, please...) and shop the same Aldi and the same Target. And worship in the same church. Wouldn't that be glorious?

My sister says "Your posts are too long". She may be right. I guess I better bring this one to a close. I love ya mean it, Sissy!
