The Best Sister in the World

I have the best sister in the world.  Some of you may be thinking you have the best sister in the world.  I'm glad you think that and I hope you do.  For me, there is no doubt.  I have the best sister in the world, Lynn.

Today is Lynn's birthday.  I was born when she was 3 1/2 years old.  An interesting fact, my sister is 3 years and 9 months older than me.  Isabella is 3 years and 9 months older than Brook.  Of course, Lynn and I have a brother who is in between us, but I still look at my own girls often and think back to what childhood might have looked like for Lynn and I.

Last night, Lynn and I enjoyed a delicious full meal at Chili's together, from appetizers to dessert.  Then, we went to an Art and Soul open paint night party.  We had a good time and enjoyed the experience.  We both came home with a painted cross.

I am so thankful for Lynn's zest for life.  She is so passionate about life.  She loves life, and she loves people.  She is first one to laugh with you or to cry with you.  She is devoted to her family.  She and Barry have raised  amazing kids and I'm so thankful they've allowed me to be a part of their kids life from even before birth!  She is a great mom, and her kids would all agree.  She loves her husband, Barry.  She has been a good big sister to John and I.  She is a special education teacher and is dedicated to her students.  She still looks for ways to make learning fun, even after teaching all these years, yet, she wants the very best for them personally.  She loves the Lord. She studies His word, she learns from it, and she shares it with others.

Lynn & I have lots of memories together.  So many from childhood and now fun ones from adulthood.  Like going to NYC together, meeting Donny Osmond in Vegas together, Thriller dance class on a cruise in the middle of the Ocean, and just summer days by her pool. Here are a few pictures from our most recent memory of painting together last night.

Happy birthday Lynn!  I am so thankful for your life. You have touched thousands of lives and they are all blessed to know you.  I pray the Lord's best for you for the next 45 plus years.  I pray for healing, good health and strength, contentment, joy, understanding, and a continued love for life, people, and the Lord.  Thanks for being the best sister in the world, oh, and the best friend too!
