I have twin 8 year old brothers and they are so irritating when one is having a bad day they want everyone else to have one! like this morning my one brother kept making annoying noises and I new that the Lord was testing me through my brother! And I just ignored him and prayed a silent prayer and before I knew it he stoped and i passed! I know I am not a teen yet I am actually a tween! (12) But when you are young there is alot you can learn I loved your post and it gave me great advice and told me that even the little things in life need the help of the savior of the world! Great job! ~Kalle~ Stephen,

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:48:45 +0000 http://www.therebelution.com/blog/?p=393#comment-524965 Thanks for this! Some people have a competitive steak...and some people are ALL competitive (like me). The trouble I have with my siblings is a) just sin--I want to win and win all the time; I'm working on that b) when I do let my siblings win, they keep taking. For example, if it were the drawer issue, they'd take that and keep on pushing for more of the space I have been allotted and the space I have currently been using. Any advice? Thanks for this!

Me and my younger brother (18 months apart) are constantly getting at it and my personality makes me want to be right in every argument. I need to learn to let him win. Humility is hard for me some times. Thanks for the encouragement and the insight!!! This is a really good message!!!

I enjoyed it and yet found myself in it. I have a hard time being meek, humble, having humility and all sorts of other stuff. I know that it's necessary to have a good relationship with my siblings and it's hard sometimes. I'm going to try to remember to come back to this series when I'm trying to work something out with my siblings. Thanks to all 3 of you! This is an interesting series.

That was a great article! I live in a family of 7 and in a 3 bedroom house! so as it's pretty cramped...like 3 of us in one room! so as you can imagine all my little siblings want me to play with me so I play with them, and usally let them win...BUT! sometimes they boast or say to others "Oh I won him in this or that" sometimes it's hard to ignore Wow!
