Oh and for the record...I thought this was just a virus. Now I think maybe the flu, which I have never had before. If this is the flu, or even just an inkling of what the flu feels like- line me up for the shot and then some. Seriously, people, I am willing to take my chances!! The past three and a half days have made my hysterectomy look like a cake walk, I kid you not!
Anyway, I digress...
In an effort to not lay here in misery feeling sorry for myself (yes, misery) I have spent a lot of time in prayer. A lot. And one of the things I have tried to do over and over and over again was remind myself of the many things I have to be thankful for. So many gifts from God.
- Like children who are self sufficient and able to run a household while their mom is down for the count.
- For friends who a week prior had already scheduled to bring a meal this week. Could that timing be any more perfect?
- For a friend who showed up at our door with supplements, raw honey, soup, tea, and juice. That may be the only reason I am able to actually type right now!
- For a husband who despite being extremely busy still calls to check on me.
- For generally good health. I am counting this as my one time a year to be sick, just in case you want to know! ;)
- For a warm house and cool baths.
- For the countless messages from friends the past few days to remind us we are not alone.
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. In the middle of our trials, sicknesses and stresses- God is still good and He always loves us. Forever.
I am so thankful for that reminder tonight. How about you? What are you and your children thanking the Lord for today? Make a list and hang it in your home...you may the reminder sometime down the road. Ask me how I know! ;)
Blessings,
