Sibling Rivalry Makes Me Sad

Tonight my heart is heavy and sad.  You see I gave birth to 3 children. In my perfect world my children would be each others best friends.Today and lots of days we just have fighting, anger, meanness.


I've read the books, I've prayed, I've argued, I've screamed, I've pleaded......nothing has changed.


Sometimes I will be given a glimpse into how it could or can be. Sometimes my husband and I will sit and quietly listen while our girls giggle and share a moment.  Sometimes I will hear brother tell his sisters how they are pretty or how much he loves them.  

Sometimes I'm given a picture of love.  That is what I am clinging to tonight.  This is what I will continue to pray for and hope for.


Psalm 62:5
Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.
