WHAT IS A SISTER?

An ally, defender, a gentle arm bender

An honest debater, a story-relater

A planner, a lender, the perfect gift sender

A winer, a diner, an outfit designer

A meeter, a greeter, a chocolate eater

A debater, relater, a smile reinstater

A secret provider, an on-your-sider

A diva, a bopper, a tireless shopper

A snorter, a sniggerere, infectious giggler

A hugger and squeezer, playmate and teaser

A texter, a writer, a party inviter

A good-for-a moaner, a helper & phoner

A carer, comparer, a problem-sharer

A handbag borrower, a ring-tomorrower

A date fixer-upper & time for a cuppa

A listening ear, a loyal volunteer

A birthday surpriser & cherished adviser

A laugher, a kidder, anxiety ridder

A won’t let it rester & know you bester

THAT’S WHAT MAKES A SISTER!

(A Bespoke Verse.)

At morning Mass today

the first reading had much to say!

“In those days there appeared in Israel men who were breakers of the law, and they seduced many people, saying:  “Let us go and make an alliance with the Gentiles all around us; since we separated from them, many evils have come upon us.”  The proposal was agreeable; some from among the people promptly went to the king, and he authorized them to introduce the way of living of the Gentiles.  Thereupon they built a gymnasium in Jerusalem according to the Gentile custom.”  1 Maccabees 1

HmmmmBreakers of the law

built a gymnasium.

(And that’s when it hit me!)

 I now know why my body is adverse to exercise…

It’s Breaking the Law!

(giggles!)

Life isn’t just about keeping score.
It’s not about how many people call you
And it’s not about who you’ve dated or haven’t dated at all.
It isn’t about who you’ve kissed,
What sport you play,
Or which guy or girl likes you.
It’s not about your shoes or your hair
Or the color of your skin,
Or where you live or go to school.
In fact it’s not about money,
Clothes, or colleges that accept you or not.
Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone,
And it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Life isn’t about that.
But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It’s about how you feel about yourself.
It’s about trust, happiness, and compassion.
It’s about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance
And building confidence.
It’s about what you say and what you mean.
It’s about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have.
Most of all it is choosing to use your life.
In a way that could have never been achieved otherwise.
These choices are what life’s about.
– Nike

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”  John 13:34-35

May you find a special way to alley-oop your love ‘into action’ today…and may it have a giggle attached with it!

hugs n’ slam-dunked blessings filled with love for (all of) you !
