Sometimes they intentionally pester and harass each other.  Sometimes they out and out compete.  But I also love the way they love each other.  And I know this might sound strange, but I'm glad they get the opportunity to take each other for granted, to accept and expect each other as a natural and perpetual presence in their own lives.  He just is her little brother.  She just is his big sister.  What an extraordinary blessing the ordinary can be.

For The Beauty

For the beauty of the earth,

For the glory of the skies,

For the love which from our birth,

Over and around us lies;

Lord of all, to thee we raise,

This our hymn of grateful praise.

Happy Fall everyone!

 May you go out in joy and be led forth in peace. May the mountains and hills burst into song before you. And may all the trees of the field clap their hands.

(From Isaiah 55:12)
