The Joy of Sister In Laws



I was raised with only one sibling which was a brother. It wasn't until I got married that I understood any kind of sisterhood! Now that the bonds of sister-in-law hood, are strong and for today's Just For the Joy Of It, I want you to meet my sister in laws:

Here we all are at Thanksgiving:
(Left to right) Danell, Me, Kathy and Sonya


Although we are all married to brothers, we greatly vary in personality, gifts, talents and strengths and of course we all do things in our homes and families in different ways. We accept and love each other as we are and are united in our hearts that we are thankful to be a part of such a wonderful family.

With the day to day business of life, we don't get together often, but when those times come,
we do enjoy them!


Especially things like a recent vacation!


We all got to spend the day together at Thanksgiving and enjoyed a day full of joy and have some great memories to cherish.

    What a gift to have sisters and the friendships that you share. I'm the opposite. I'm from a family of all girls, my husband from all boys... so I gained Brothers-in-law! We don't do as much bonding, but I'm grateful for them!!

    Blessings!

    I have a sister, but also treasure my sisters-in-law. Together, we bond over laughing at the goofiness of our husbands - both past and present.

    It's great that you get to experience having some sisters!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
