Sisterly Love

Today, the dog jumped up and scratched our second oldest daughter on the eye. It was a completely superficial, though ghastly looking wound.

I was truly moved by the genuine concern from her sisters. They would not be entertained with movies or the Wii or anything; they just wanted to know that their sister was alright. They responded quickly when I suggested we pray, and they gathered eagerly whenever the phone rang.

From the moment she was injured until she returned from urgent care, their concern was her well being and it was not quenched until she responded personally to their numerous and ardent queries:

"Can I see your eye?"

 "Yes, but you can't touch it."
