MAKING WAVES WITH A YOUNGER SISTER

He’s now in his 50s and she’s about 10 years younger. Their dad was a teacher and their mom stayed at home. So they didn’t live lavishly. But they had a great childhood, and still have a great relationship as siblings – the big brother and the baby sister.

Except for one thing: the brother’s suppressed desire.

Recently, his sister teased him about something from their past, and the big brother with the gray hair whirled around and retorted:

“Oh, yeah? Well, if it hadn’t been for YOU, we could have had a BOAT!”

Prayer request: On this 54th Annual National Day of Prayer, we lift up our nation, its leaders and its people to Your Throne, Father, for correction, guidance and encouragement. We pray that our leaders will look to You first for direction, and that all of us will be filled with Your love and grace. Special thanks, Lord, for my good friend Marilyn, my spiritual mentor, the one who was there for me when I was being born again, who chaired this morning’s huge citywide prayer breakfast. What a wonderful and powerful warrior You have raised up in her. And may her son David finish school strong and move on with confidence, making a mark for You. (Hebrews 4:16)
