This Winter = Sickness

It's winter and that has meant lots of sickness this year!  I don't ever recall getting sick so frequently.  I guess my immune system must be down or something!  We went to God's Bible School last weekend for a class I had to attend.  We must have picked up a flu bug there, because when Monday rolled around, Valentine's Day, some of the family ended up not feeling so well (Many G.B.S. students were sick this week).  Nathan complained of a sore throat while Joshua suddenly puked everywhere with no warning whatsoever!  From then on, somebody has been sick throughout the entire week.  Nathan steadily grew worse, but forced himself to go to driver's education class because he didn't want to make it up.  Joshua is still trying to overcome his illness.  I started to get a sore throat on Wednesday, then came the bad cough, the chest pain, and now the stomach symptoms.  Yuck!  Evangelyn came down with the sore throat yesterday.  So who's left?  My dear hubby!  I sure hope he doesn't catch the bug!  It is long lasting, and leaves one miserable!  My head has felt like it is floating somewhere ....

Beyond all the sickness stuff, I can still say I'm thankful for a Heavenly Father who loves and cares for His children.  Even though I haven't felt like picking up my Bible and reading for any length of time, I have felt His presence near as I meditated on Him and some thoughts He gave me.  I always want to be in the place where I am open to Him and His still small voice.
