Praising God for another beautiful day. It feels so awesome to feel the sun shining, even through the windows. I have been spending the last couple of weeks with sick kiddos. It is that time of year. We have been fortunate that they have stayed really pretty healthy all winter. Hope started with bronchitis and then Corban got it last week. His got worse though and now is on his second round of antibiotics and gained a double ear infection to boot. Poor little guy.
He was up crying Sunday night and couldn't tell us what the problem was, only that he needed Mommy. Finally Monday morning he said, "my ear's stuffed." Back to the doctor. It is amazing he can have such bad infections and yet no fever. I am enjoying the extra cuddle time and recouping myself as of course Tim and I got bronchitis too!
The rest has been good. God has a plan for everything. The praise is, since I have been home and resting what little walking I have done has been great. I have braved Wal-mart twice this week with no complications. I am enjoying freedom of movement and all the blessings God has given to us!
A dear friend and prayer warrior shared a scripture with me this week. It is found in Mark 8:22-25
"When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged him to touch and heal the man.
Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then, spitting on the man's eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, "Can you see anything now?"
The man looked around. "Yes," he said, "I see people, but I can't see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around."
Then Jesus placed his hands over the man's eyes again. As the man stared intently, his sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly."
What an encouragement! She reminded me the first time Jesus touched his eyes and this blind man could see trees was no less of a miracle than the second time when he was completely restored.
He causes the lame to walk and the blind to see. I am walking! Yes, sometimes when I am really tired, my legs forget they are healed and I stumble. But I am light years better than where I was before January 31st!
God is healing me. I know it. He just may have to demonstrate his power and glory with my new doctors at Loyola.
I am also learning to live day by day. Another dear friend of mine is struggling with cancer. She has such an eternal perspective that is catchy! She praises God for each day she has. She reminds me to trust, even when I cannot see, even when things do not make sense. God has a perfect plan for each of us. Each day is a gift to be celebrated.
