Building Sibling Relationships ~ Part 7

Where to Start

I’ve written quite a bit about building sibling relationships in the past few weeks, hopefully you’re not overwhelmed! It’s been a lot of information and a lot of ideas. You may be thinking “I want to build relationships with my siblings, but where do I start?” Start by being thankful for your siblings. God has designed your siblings to be your siblings. He placed you in the same family for a reason, and you need to be thankful for His wisdom in making your siblings just the way He did. Next, express thankfulness for and to your siblings! You need to thank God for your siblings, but you also need to show gratitude to your brothers and sisters. When was the last time you told your sister “Thank you for being my sister”? Or told your brother that you love him? Telling them these things will draw your heart to them, make you love them even more, and will draw the two of you together, building your relationship as siblings.
