This house is full of sick kids again or dare I say it never left? Josiah now has the high fever that Isaac had last week. Isaac is having issues with his asthma and is on steroid breathing treatments. Last night I had to make a 12:30am run to CVS to get Tylenol and Motrin because we had no more in the house. Isaac fell asleep while he was having a treatment, poor guy!
I normally would get discouraged having sick kids for this long, but the Lord is giving me the grace and endurance to not get upset and pity myself. I think that reading all the compassion blogs this week has really been working on my heart. I can't get through one without crying. I don't just cry a little, I end up bawling! I have SO much to be thankful for. I have a house with four walls made out of wood not mud. I have all the food I can dream of and by all accounts my children are healthy, sure they may have a virus, but they are healthy! Thank you Lord!

YEAH, Tisha!
Excited to see your blog!
Our Jared is just recovering from an ear infection & fever bug, so I do understand where you are coming from. It was so good to have him back to 'constant motion man' today -- although he can wear me out.
God is SOOO GOOD in every way, and He cares about every detail of our lives. So often I find that in those small times of quiet when I focus on Him, I realize that He is focused on me. Gratitude and humility meld together in glorious praise!
BLOG ON!

What a great perspective and so true. Take care of yourself- okay? Nothing worse of healthy kids and a sick mom when this is all over!
Aren't you thankful for breathing treatments. Can you imagine not having that little machine in the middle of the night? Now that would be horrible.
