Sweet Niece

 

My sweet niece, the closest in age to me. I was teaching her how to drive this past summer. But she has taught me a lot! When I visited my sister and her family, my niece was so cheerful, very helpful, and abounding in hospitality. She was on it with all the help and to dos around the house! She has 3 younger siblings, and she is like the second mom, responsible and attentive to what her mom and dad ask.

She has taught me taught me so much due to her service and cheerful and light- hearted demeanor. We are different in some ways, but it is so sweet to have ' a little sister' as she calls herself. I never had a younger sister, and though I'm so used to it and it's what I know, it's cool to share my life experiences, and do fun things together.

When I visited her and her family, we did each other's hair, she introduced me to The Chosen (Always heard about it, but never really watched it or got into it), always asking how I slept, helping out with snacks for day trips, or just simply chatting up conversation at the table or while we were putting away dishes. 

She is interested to know what my hobbies are, what I'm knitting as she is too, or which language am I currently studying. She would ask about my program, my job, even me being single and how that is or telling her about past dates that were usually duds and she would joke, 'red flag!' We would laugh with her sister while we were in a museum and some things that were funny or just being silly. 

When she visited us here, I would also do her makeup, nails, and we did face masks! She helped me clean out my very messy and dirty make up drawer, with various random things that were no longer useful. She was so happy and eager to help clean it out, give away or mostly just throw away. I'll spare you the details of the all the gunk and clutter. Ha

She has a servant's heart, obedient, playful and so sweet and generous. She sacrificed not taking a tour of her school that I could see, and stayed home to watch her younger brothers instead, while my sister and younger niece and I took a tour of the beautiful school they go to. 

She enjoys baking and being in the kitchen. Hospitality is her strength as she has been doing that on the side for her job. She is active, athletic and is an avid runner, on the cross-country team. Her smile is contagious, and she is so beautiful inside and out! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for her and God's plan for her.
