Siblings, Not Rivals

Here is Mark’s annual Christmas Clip.

(insert cliche about harmony comes from different people working as a team here)

What really caught my eye was the 5 sibling’s response to Ann Curry’s question about sibling rivalry. “We’re not competing on stage: I am in awe of their talent and feel honored to perform with them.”

Isn’t that a wonderful way to look at others with the same giftedness as you? All week, I have been hearing advice for parents about how to help children with sibling rivalry, “because you know its going to happen.”

But at some point in time, these siblings grew up — they changed — they moved beyond competition to honor. People can change — do change. As leaders, lets hold out hope for spiritual growth, rather than endorsing spiritual complacency.
