Here is the new lesson for this week – enjoy:
As you grow up, dear lady in training, there is one thing you need to remember: There are no people more important than your family. Your parents, your siblings, your grandparents, even aunts and uncles, cousins – these people are your brethren first and foremost, and until you marry into your future husband’s family, your family is the group of people who you learn and benefit from, and who benefits from your skills and talents.
Yay! I don’t even remember how I stumbled across your blog here, but this post is one of the first things I saw. It makes me glad that I am not the only one writing about sibling-type stuff.
I think it’s important to teach girls not only how to treat their siblings — but how to treat their brothers-and-sisters-in-Christ (spiritual siblings) too. I believe we take the “family of God” as more of a metaphor than intended. =)
