Bennett and Mallory haven't historically been super close. And it's always bothered me.
Ok... I know Mallie's only three, so to say 'always' is a little dramatic. But it truly has made me sad that they've never gotten along or been best buddies. So I've been praying about it a lot in the past year or so:
Lord, please help Bennett and Mallory to develop a close relationship. Please help them to be friends. Please give them love for each other.
And you know what?? God has answered that prayer. Slowly but surely, they are starting to include each other. To be considerate of each other...
To play together.
To have conversations over popsicles...
And Oreos.
To protect each other...
To explore together...
And to love each other.
...Just like bothers and sisters should.
The love of Jesus has brought them close.
