An ode to my sister

My sister has faithfully come and help me once a week since about last November. She takes care of the kids so I can exercise, take naps, and go to the store. She's pretty much made cleaning my bathrooms her responsibility. She makes dinner. She provides adult conversation. I am amazed at her willingness to serve me so diligently. Her example of service has been extraordinary. I hope to one day be able to repay her kindness. I am grateful to her husband and children for allowing her to come and give of her time.
Today was her last day. She's helping with an event at her children's school next week and then they are out of school. So, she needs to be at home with them. I feel we've grown closer over the last few months, and I'll miss seeing her so often. I know my children will miss seeing her and her youngest son who would come with her.
She's a perfect example of Christ-like love and service. She's an angel.
