I thought I would share a little invention that has done wonders in our house.
Lately the sibling rivalry has gotten a little out of hand. After a lot of prayer and thought I came up with our solution... the Secret Sister Jar. 
Each week the girls get to pick one piece of paper out of the jar. The paper will say something like; "Ask Mom to drive you to the grocery store, give you $, and let you go into the store with your sister to buy donuts all by yourselves (while I wait by the front door, of course)," "Make your sister a glass of freshly squeezed juice," "Ask Mom and Dad if you can have a sister-sleepover this weekend..." Get the picture? So far it's worked like a charm. The girls are so excited about it they have been creating their own little surprises on the side.

What a wonderful idea!! By the by, thanks so much for all you did to make the funeral of Grandma Rayback such a wonderful event. We hear your girls sang, beautifully. Keep on being a great Daughter of God.
