Women needs Sisters
‘Sisters’ means ‘ALL’ the
women... your girlfriends, your daughters, grand ma and all you’re
other women relatives too. You will need other women. Women
always do.
A young wife sat on her sofa on a hot humid day, drinking
iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As they talked about
life, marriage, the responsibilities of life and the
obligations of adulthood, the mother, ice cubes clinking in
her glass, thoughtfully turned a clear and sober glance
upon her daughter. Don't forget your Sisters, she advised
her daughter while swirling the tea-leaves in the bottom of
her glass. They will be more important as you get older. No
matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much
you love the children you may have, you are still going to
need Sisters. Remember to go places with them now and then;
do things with them. Remember that ‘Sisters’ means ‘ALL’ the
women... your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your
other women relatives too. You will need other women. Women
always do.
The young woman thought it was a funny piece of advice,
having recently married and just joined the couple-world.
I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake, I am a grownup!
Surely my husband and the family we may start will be all I
need to make my life worthwhile! However, she listened to
her Mother, kept in contact with her Sisters, and even made
more women friends each year. As the years tumbled by, one
after another, she gradually came to understand that her
Mom really knew what she was talking about. As time and
nature work their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,
Sisters are the mainstays of her life. After more than 50
years of living in this world, that is what she learned:
THIS SAYS IT ALL: Time passes. Life happens. Distance
separates. Children grow up. Jobs come and go. Love waxes
and wanes. Men don't do what they're supposed to do. Hearts
break. Parents die. Colleagues forget favors. Careers end.
BUT Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many
miles are between you. A girl friend is never farther away
than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to
walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the
valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for
you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms
at the valley’s end. Sometimes, they will even break the
rules and walk beside you...Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law,
sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties,
nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither
would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we
had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay
ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other.
Every day, we need each other still.
Please think of all the women who helped you to make your life
meaningful...
