What God Is Really Giving You When He Gives You An Older Sister

When God Gives You An Older Sister

The dictionary defines sisters as "a woman or girl in relation to other daughters and sons of her parents." That is the most broad basically inaccurate description I have ever read. I am most certain when God saw me he knew there were two things I needed 1. A loving family and 2. A sister. He gave me a loving family that came with giving me a sister and over the years I have learned all of the gifts that have come from God giving me a sister.

When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will watch cartoons with you every weekend morning.When I was younger my sister and I would watch Arthur, Rugrats, and Power Puff Girls together every weekend without fail.


When God gives you a sister he gives you a tutor, doctor and body guard by the time you are 5. My sister picked me up off of the pavement with tears down my face and scrapes on my arms, took me home put band-aids on me and made sure the tears were dry. Having an older sister means from the time you are 5 you have someone who will protect you against anyone from and anything.From the time you are learning colors and numbers your older sister is by your side helping you learn and helping through the dreaded math sheets.


When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will judge your boyfriends and make sure they are good enough for you. I have always been protective of my older sister in this area, she deserves the world and through her finding a great guy I have found approval and I couldn't be more happy watching their relationship. It's hard having someone pass the certain "tests" you set up in your mind of the person your sister deserves to be with and when they have found someone who surpasses your expectations it is a beautiful thing.


When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will be hard on you but always have your best interest at heart . My sister has been right about a lot most of the time. Even through me thinking she was being "mean" I have come to understand that being my older sister it's her job to care, and she does a great job at it. She has always been honest with me and has always tried helping lead me down a right path. Each time I have needed someone she has always been there.

When God Gives you a sister he gives you someone that will be by your side forever and a best friend. God never gives you something you don't need, a sister is something I need to have in my life and thankfully having a sister means she will be in my life forever. She will be my maid of honor the day I get married, she will be my children's God Mother and she will always be on my side even when it feels like the world is against me.

So tell me how exactly a "sister" could be summed up by the definition the dictionary says?

It can't.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.
