Siblings Without Rivalry (at least for 5 minutes)

We have been struggling lately with sibling rivalry. It got pretty ugly at one point yesterday. I was feeling at my wit's end. I am really trying to teach my children to be kind to each other. I want them to be friends. I want them to be each other's biggest supporters and advocates. I find myself praying a lot and crying a lot. I knew the prayers must be working a little when I saw this scene the other night. Seth and Joel were reading a book together (not fighting over it!) and giggling and enjoying it. It didn't last long, but I was so glad I grabbed the camera during this rare moment. It is one of those pictures that does a mother's heart good.
