Adam and Eve
had a son named Cain and then later another son named Abel. Cain worked the
ground and Abel took care of the sheep. Cain gathered some of his crops and
brought them as an offering to the Lord; Abel brought the fattest parts of the
firstlings of his flock to the Lord as offerings. The Lord was pleased with
Abel and his offering but not with Cain or his offering. Cain became jealous
and angry. The Lord saw that Cain was upset and told him that sin was waiting
at his door to grab him and he must do what is right to be accepted. Cain
however did not listen and instead, took his brother to a field and killed him.
The Lord put a curse on Cain and drove him away.
I have a sister, Mency, who’s three and a half years older than me. I didn't actually meet her until I was a year and a half old because she lived in China
with my grandparents while my parents were settling down in Lexington. When
she came to live with us, it was weird for the both of us. She had unwillingly
been flown 14 hours away from what she called home, and I on the other hand,
had to learn to live with a maniac toddler who screamed and cried all the time.
It also didn't make things easier that our personalities were so different. She
was energetic, daring, mischievous, and cunning. I was the opposite. I was shy,
obedient, scared of everything, and altogether useless. Simply put, she found
me annoyingly boring and I found her ruthlessly mean.
We used to
fight a whole lot and she always knew exactly how to make me cry, but then
somewhere along the way, we actually became friends. She still makes fun of me,
I don’t think that’ll ever change, but I know she’s also looking out for me.
here's a really attractive picture of us
