sisters

Not only is this an uplifting video about change and becoming strengthened by the gospel, it's a great video about the love between siblings. It made me think of my little sister. I wouldn't say our relationship was ever as difficult as Luke and Sam's, but I can say that my sister would sometimes get on my nerves (maybe she still does, but that's what siblings are for, right?) 

If the gospel has taught me anything, it's the importance of family. As my young women leaders would always tell me, "friends may come and go... but family is forever." And thanks to the blessings of the temple, that is literal. It might've been easier to retaliate whenever she bothered or upset me, but I kept in mind that I was stuck with her no matter what. As unpleasant as that might sound to some, I think it's great. It's a constant reminder for me to not sweat the small stuff, and to show more appreciation to all my family members.
