My brother has been staying with my parents for a few weeks while I was helping my sister get situated at her house with her broken leg. He helped them with all that was needed – cooking, doctor appointments, taking them to church, etc. Of course, all relationships are different, and my brother brought his own unique talents to the situation. He and my dad especially connect on a whole other level. They talked about computers, the stock market, and watched old Star Trek episodes. Not that I don’t like Star Trek, but last night we watched Dancing With the Stars. He made excellent coffee for them and taught my mom how to play a musical game on her iPad. Today he packed up his things, his dog, his dogs things, and headed off to his next endeavor. I am very grateful for his time with my parents to allow me to help my sister and to spend time with my friends when they came for a visit. I see him in a new light as we share the experiences with the family and very much appreciate his contribution.

I Found God today in the unique talents and helpfulness of my brother.
