      The Best Sister in the World - Howard Books

      Introduction

      Having a sister is one of life’s greatest blessings. Sisters share a unique bond that makes them the best at understanding, encouraging, and strengthening one another. They’ve learned, through their shared memories, how to make each other laugh, when to give a comforting hug, and the art of loving each other unconditionally.

      The Best Sister in the Worldcelebrates the joy of sisters everywhere, but most especially, it honors you, the unique and special sister in my own heart. I hope this book inspires, encourages, and shows my appreciation to you, my sister. I’m so honored and thankful that God has placed you in my life.

      Sis, you’re the best!

      You’re the

      Best

      Sister

      in the World Because…

      You Understand

      Me.

      Your sister is a reflection of your own life,

      upbringing, and circumstances.

      When you look at her, you see your past,

      present, and future.

      Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven

      is my brother and sister.

      MATTHEW12:50

      Siblings tend to have a unique understanding of one another, born out of similar experiences and backgrounds. Because they have shared the same childhood and parents, they know better than even the closest of friends where the other is coming from.

      This level of understanding among siblings is what makes Jesus’ reference to Christians as His brothers and sisters so significant. When Jesus came to earth in the form of a man, He didn’t come as the king everyone was expecting. He would never have been able to relate to us. No, Jesus came to earth as we did, a baby, and then was raised by common parents. He experienced what it’s like to be a child, to have siblings, to work for a living. Because of His experiences, He understands us in much the same way that siblings understand one another.

      How complete God’s love for us truly is, that He would include the special bond between siblings in His relationship with us.

      A Letter to My Sister

      Dear Sis,

      You have known me since the day I was born. You helped change my diapers and take care of me when I was a baby. You played with me when I was bored. You taught me all the new things you learned at school and filled me in on the latest fashions. The first time a boy broke my heart, you understood my pain and were there for me with a shoulder to cry on. Now that we’re grown, you’re the first person I call when I need to talk to someone. I can depend on you to truly understand the workings of my heart.

      Thank you, Sis, for being such a blessing to me. You have enriched my life in so many ways all along my journey, and I can’t imagine life without you.

      Love,

      Your Sister

      In thee my soul

      shall own

      combined the sister

      and the friend.

      We talk alike,

      We look alike,

      We think alike.

      We are as one—yet we are not.

      We are unique,

      We are different.

      We are individuals—we are sisters!

      WHY I’M THANKFUL

      YOU’RE MY SISTER…

      …Between the two of us,

      someone is sure to remember

      Mom’s birthday!

      The noblest pleasure is

      the joy of understanding.
