Sickness

[rosemere]

The Lord has allowed sickness in our family.  Fevers, croupy coughs, etc.  No school today.  We did watch a movie and mom spent some time catching up on projects and other such things.  We all enjoyed a chicken soup that my oldest daughter prepared.  Dad came home not feeling well, either, and went to bed early.   God allows times like these to help us appreciate the times when we are well.  Winter seems long  and the hours dragged on and on to the children who are sick (4 out of 5).  The oldest sister is on the road to recovery and so far Mom hasn't gotten "it".  Looking forward to the warmer days of spring, as I peek out to the garden and see the daffodils poking their little heads out of the black dirt.   Spring will soon be here and winter 2008 will be a distant memory.
