Big Brother Looking Out for His Little Sister

We went to the orchard last week to pick another bushel of apples.

Kingston saw his little sister struggling to get through the tall, soft grass, so he lent a hand.

That was of his own accord - we didn't have to ask him to help her.

He has been a doting big brother since day one.  They are so precious together.  Not to imply they're perfect... they are little humans, after all, who can exasperate each other from time to time. 

But mostly it's this sweet affection and encouraging disposition.  Makes me heart sing.

  Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

1 Thessalonians 5:11
