Something you will commonly
hear from teenage girls is: “My younger siblings are so annoying” or you
might hear, “I wish I was an only
child”. Now wait a second. Really?!?! An
only child?!?! C’mon! Even if you have 7
“annoying” siblings, does it really have
to come to that?

My youngest sibling Kenton, is
five. He can be very noisy sometimes.
He enjoys noisy toys. He loves to run
around being loud. Most girls, including
me, call it “Annoying” But, I’ll admit. I
would dearly miss his cute little grin

to having a good relationship with
your siblings is forgiveness. Forgiveness is not only saying, “I forgive
you”. Forgiveness is also showing it.
Forgiveness is forgetting about how
they have wronged you and moving on.
It also means not digging it up later
on. How often do you hear, “Remember
last week when you did THIS to ME?”
