on texting and siblings and life

my phone buzzed on the way into
the sanctuary today
i stood on the steps and checked
my younger sister's text
important note -
dad's new wheelchair
doesn't fit on the lift
i have to admit it was
a teensie bit funny
in the what-else kind of way....
this sister takes dad to church every sunday
and i love her
not just for that
but for her servant heart and her hilarity
i have four more siblings
and
they all make me cry -
laughing tears
or
the i-love-them-so-much ones
it was a holy moment
there on the church steps
in the first fall breeze
it was a holy moment
thinking of these
men and women
god gave me for life

how about you? who has god given you for life?

764. in christ alone
765. papers to grade. really.
766. phone time with my girl, the one i mentor
767. running with my sister-in-law in that first fall air
768. a husband who takes care of things like dead chickens:(
769. spending time at the football field
770. talking with former students
