How pleasant it is when sisters live together in harmony...
Usually these two felines hiss and scrap with each other,
sometimes quite viciously. Normally they doze the day away in different rooms.
But when the sun is out and the conservatory is toasty, they bury their
animosity and tolerate closer proximity.
It’s easier to get along with others when conditions are
pleasant, and when there is enough sunshine in the room to share! Easier to be
tolerant when everything is hunky dory.
When the pressure is on, how easy it is fall out with one
another! Or at least that’s true in my experience. When stresses ease and loads
lighten, understanding and tolerance increase and personality differences
become positives and not reasons for aggression or snappiness.
When my sister Judy and I hitched around Europe for three
months in 1970, we laughed and joked and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
There was one time, though, which I remember, as we arrived on the outskirts of
Marseille and had to walk into town to find accommodation. We were weary and
had different opinions of which direction to take. That is the only time I
remember us snapping in anger, and once we found a cheap hotel, I could forgive
her for prevailing...and we could laugh about it again.
‘How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get
along!...It’s like costly anointing oil flowing...it’s like the
dew...flowing...Yes, that’s where God commands the blessing...’ Psalm 133
May your day...your weekend...your life (why not?) be
harmonious and pleasant and filled with blessing.
