Cousins

I am sitting, listening to Matthew and his cousin, Charlie, playing in th other room. Now, they are calm and seem to really be enjoying each other's company. Sometimes it's hard to have them play together. They want to compete over every little thing. But, they're 4. What else should I expect? Of course, they are doing much better with that than they did when they were 3. But even in the midst of them arguing, I try to remind myself that they are cousins, and what a blessing it is to have them living so close to us. It's wonderful to have family so close that I can just walk over to their house any time. The kids have someone to play with every day. I love where I live. God has truly blessed us.
