Younger siblings always seem to know when your nerves are slowly running out and they just keep pushing your buttons. In return you yell at them slam the door and get your anger out, then they play the typical tattle-tale card. You eventually get in trouble with whoever they told and lose the battle. You are forced to obey and apologize while they have their grin across their little faces, they went through all that just to punish you just like they want. We have all seen or experienced this at some point in time. Their goal was in their minds and they just wanted you in trouble when they know they started it and you were innocent.
You may think that it their fault for bothering you, but is it really? Were they the ones who blew there top and shouted you for bothering them? There are reasons that they will do this, such as they wanted somebody to play with them. They probably did not know that you were doing something and needed to be alone. Then there is the I am just trying to get you in trouble type, and that is most cases. The Lord provides many tests, to examine the strength of our faith in him. I personally believe that kids, brothers, or sisters are one huge test of patience.
"Be devoted to one another. Honor one another" ~Romans 12:10
Think about this verse and compare it to the situation. Which would you do? I know that my normal reaction to their effort is shouting, screaming, and then they eventually make them cry. My three words for you are: Strengthen your Paitence

Hello
- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
My name is Annika and I am the oldest of four girls. My sisters are a leading part of my life and I love them so much. They teach me patience and kindness with the little things they do. This blog is about the things that they teach me throughout my walk in life. Every one of them impact my life in their own special ways.
