Sickness: Pedialyte, mounds of sheets/towels/jammies, and Lysol: can you guess what has been going on in our house the last 24 hours? Yep, a stomach virus. Big brother has been a sick little boy. I am hoping we are nearing the end and praying that little brother doesn’t come down with it.
Rangers vs. Cardinals: I love reading the Facebook status updates during the World Series. Growing up in Arkansas, most of my family and friends are Cardinal fans since that is probably the closest MLB team to us and of course our Texas friends are Rangers fans. It is comical to read the comments from the opposing sides. Personally, I am pulling for the Cardinals, but I will admit that I haven’t watched a game of the World Series.
Motherhood Is a Calling: I ran across this article again this week. When I first read it, I wrote these last two paragraphs out on the chalkboard in my kitchen. It was especially good to read after battling the sickness with D!
"Live the gospel in the things that no one sees. Sacrifice for your children in places that only they will know about. Put their value ahead of yours. Grow them up in the clean air of gospel living. Your testimony to the gospel in the little details of your life is more valuable to them than you can imagine. If you tell them the gospel, but live to yourself, they will never believe it. Give your life for theirs every day, joyfully. Lay down pettiness. Lay down fussiness. Lay down resentment about the dishes, about the laundry, about how no one knows how hard you work.
Stop clinging to yourself and cling to the cross. There is more joy and more life and more laughter on the other side of death than you can possibly carry alone."
Have a great weekend!!
I LOVE YOU! What more can I say?
ReplyDeleteWatch him close. Our last trip to Disney ended up with me and Madison so sick, we should have gone to the ER. Stomach virus is the small end of our problems. I honestly think you can catch some of the worst bugs down there. Even when you Purell his hands after every thing he touched. Trust me, we did while we were there. Ask Nan how bad it was, she remembers. I hope it is easier on him for the next day or two and no one else catches it. I will keep him in my thoughts, as always.
ReplyDeleteI remember you guys being sick! I think we are finally well. The doctor felt he was facing a triple whammy of strep, stomach bug, and sinus infection. Hal said we will wear masks and gloves the next time we go. Ha!
