Siblings

Quick! Right now go hug you sibling!!!!
So, who actually did that? Not me! And that's why I'm writing this post, because lots of times when it comes to older and younger sisters and brothers....... well lets not go in to detail;) I must say that i am guilty of having, um.... bad feelings toward them.

Part of being "The Next Teen In Action" is, well, loving EVERYBODY! Including our siblings, that guy next door, and the gangster. We'll get to deeper discussion about the gangster. But what I want to focus on is, loving our (biological) brother and sisters. For example, your younger sister/brother comes barging in your room and decides, I really want to "borrow" that brush my sister/brother uses. Or your older sister/brother decides, I'm going to embarrass my sister/brother in front of their friends. What is your first reaction? "I'm going to kill you!!!" That is probably it, right? But, our reaction should be a blessing. Blessing, what??? Well the bible says in 1 Peter 3:9 "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing." So next time your lovely sibling tries to make you go crazy, be nice to them.  No, it will not be easy, but God will reward you in the long run.

Also think about this, if your sister/brother were to die right now, how do you think you would feel? I know my sister an I would joke that we're going to wear yellow to each others funerals, but really I would regret every little mean thing I did or said to them, and be super upset. I would miss my sister and brother if they were to die . We don't really think about that type of stuff, when we do something to them, do we?
