The best of friends

It may sound crazy, but God has given me enormous gifts through my siblings.
It may sound crazy because at times things don't feel right.
Sometimes things go painfully wrong.
I can be a pain in the neck, and so can they.
Other times, we're all just plain irritable.
Sometimes living life with my brothers and sisters can feel like trying to put together a puzzle, but all the pieces are discombobulated and turned topsy-turvy.
Despite all this, these relationships are priceless, precious and unforgettable.
Because God has a plan.

We laugh and giggle,
We teach each other,
We get silly and crazy,
They've given me doses of humility,
Oodles of laughter,
Heartaches and Headaches,
I don't know what I'd do without them.
We balance each other out,

We still have a long way to go,
And a lot of learning to do.
Even though sometimes I want to quit,
to move on and forget,
I know God never, ever, ever leaves or forsakes.
And that He will give me and my siblings the grace to build relationships with each other to His glory.
Oh, I have the best of friends in them, and I love the way God has pieced us all together.
