My sisters are truly gifts from God to me. They are so many families with sibling rivalries where siblings don't truly or sincerely care for each other but treat each other selfishly for their own gains.
However, my sisters are totally different. I've 3 of them who loves me dearly and would not hesitate to correct me when I'm wrong. Their constructive criticisms and doses of love have in many ways shape me.
One of them, Jackie whom I see almost everyday is one of the most generous creatures I know on planet Earth ! She has showered me with extravagant gifts so often and my kids always look eagerly at her luggage when she return from overseas trips. Mind you – my kids also consider her the “strictest of all the aunties”, so when she praises them, they are over the moon. Philip describes her as “intelligent”. That's true – she knows God's law of sowing and reaping. That's why she always give me stuff so she can reap incredible rewards !!! Smart woman !
Carol is my spiritual mentor. Residing in UK does not restrict her long arm of discipline from reaching me if she feels that my spiritual life needs a kick in the butt !! She is a source of strength for me in my darkest hours and has comforted me countless of times. She's the one who has truly ventured in ways the rest of us girls have not... like reaching the summit of Mt. Kinabalu, deep sea diving, supernatural experiences with God, going for PhD when the rest of us are contented with painting our nails !!! To Philip, Carol is a woman passionate about life and wants to live it to the fullest measure. She's not one to settle for mediocrity... or laze around tanning herself ! Ha ha !!!!
Alie is the youngest of the lot. The baby of the family who now lives very independently in Perth. She's the quiet one (in comparison to us), more creative than us and can sleep longer than the polar bears. Generally her taste in fashion and sometimes even food is different from us. She dares to be different and there is always a sense of adventurous spirit around her. Philip says she's a carefree creature. That is certainly a compliment. Wait till dad hears this. Foochows are not supposed to be carefree. Foochows are supposed to work hard, 26 hours a day and to make tons of money, buy lands and properties and influence the world economy !!!
The camaraderie we share is priceless. Our sense of humour keeps us sane and realistic !!! Together we learn not to be so uptight over things but to laugh at ourselves and have fun too. We have the highest respect for each other and constantly uphold each other in prayer. These 3 ladies make me feel special and Philip feels privilege to have them as sisters. To my precious sisters – May God's blessings overtake you.

I love my sisters to bits. I feel I am the most blessed by God because He gives me such wonderful people in my life. I stand in awe of God all the time thinking how He knows I need people like my sisters to show me His attributes and to keep me in the straight and narrow. I know all of us (my sisters) would totally agree that Doreen is a sister that we all love, and we aspire to be like her. I would not know how to come this far without her. We laugh and cry together. I love buying her presents. I call her the wise owl because she is. Doreen knows everything - I mean everything, from politics to fashion to childcare. To have gone through what she went through and yet ... remains faithful to God, refuses to be bitter and chooses to love, incredible person she is. The best of all - we laugh our head off over so many things together. Philip is the best brother-in-law (and Alex is well but we are not talking about him now! It's not his blog). Philip is a giver. He gives and gives and gives some more. The time I scratched his car, the time I demanded his time and his money, he never complaints. If anyone has any problem with God's character, spend some time with Philip, and you will experience God's character. Amazing man indeed!
You are so right about Doreen. Even in the cell, she is the big sister everyone goes running to when they have problem.
we are so blessed to have her in our lives.
I feel so jealous looking at all these praises about sisters. I dont have any so always envy those who does. God bless you all.
