I was feeling blue today. I am so over hearing us all cough, blow our noses and just sound miserable. I am tired of being sick. I lamented to a friend this morning and she was so encouraging to me, because she just was understanding. She didn't tell me to get over it, she just said she understood. Thanks Rachel.
Then God sent friends in droves...offering to bring dinner, run to the store, pray etc. We had a surprise knock at the door and it was groceries, flowers and treats for the dog! What awesome friends.
Then a sweet girl commented on my blog and reminded me of just how much God cares for us. I love Jesus so much and I am so thankful that we just have the flu. This isn't a disaster, just an inconvenience. It isn't cancer, been there done that with Andrew. It's just the flu. We are blessed that we may be sick, but we have each other. We may be sick, but we have a safe place to be, movies to watch, games to play, books to read, and even the internet to keep in touch with friends. We may be sick, but we are able to go to the doctor. We may be sick, but we have sweet friends who reach out to us and show us how loved we are and pray for us. We may be sick, but we have Jesus and He loves us and cares for us!
Feeling very thankful and grateful tonight.

ReplyDeleteWhere did you get your title "Crud Muffin and a Half" from?
Ruth,
ReplyDeleteWhen I am frustrated I say "Crud Muffin" and if I am really frustrated I say "Crud Muffin and a Half". It makes me laugh, it is silly and ridiculous.:)
