Share some things you appreciate about your brothers and sisters and how God has used them in your life.

Share a time when a word of encouragement was a special help to you….

Prayer:

That the girls would purpose to become encouragers and servants in their homes.

That the Lord would bless each of these girls’ siblings and use their familes as teams working for His kingdom.

Scripture:

Prov. 15:1
Eph. 4:29
1 Thess. 5:11
1 John 3: 11-18
1 John 4:20-21

Main Concepts:

Our homes are the best places to practice serving the Lord.  It is often easy to do what is right and to be a bright light when you are in public and you know that other people are watching you…but the real test comes when you are at home with your family.

It is important to realize the influence that we have with our brothers and sisters and the responsibility that we have to set a good example for them to follow.

The Lord gave us our brothers and sisters to help accomplish His purpose for our lives, but many girls view their siblings only as trouble or irritations.  Instead, we should learn to see the blessing that they truly are and purpose to develop close relationships with them.

“And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.”  Matthew 10:42

Look for ways to be extra encouraging to your siblings this week.  Consider what a privilege it is that Jesus would call us His brothers and sisters!  (Matt. 12:50)
