I've been thinking a lot about my kids' relationships lately.
What will it be like when they are grown?
Will they be close?
Will they share their joys and fears with each other.
My wish is that they will be best friends. That they will always be there for each other with love, laughter and sound biblical advice.
I know in this life they will have trouble. There will be difficult relationships, financial troubles, tragedies.
But there will also be great joy, new life and tons of excitement.
I pray that we instill in them how blessed they are to have these siblings. To have people who will understand where they come from.
To have this group who will understand all the ways Hubby and I messed up, but still remember our movie nights and decorating the Christmas tree.
I pray they will call each other out on things, fight and make up. I pray they will laugh and cry together.
I know it won't be perfect...but who wants perfect anyway?
