There are few things that can cause me to feel down more than a cloudy Monday when I’m not well…
Today has been one of those days. Just a long, cloudy sick-day. And I’m sick of being sick…
I don’t have the energy to do much of anything right now…I have to find it somewhere, though, because life keeps marching ever forward…
So, in my funkiness, I decided to sit on the front porch…even longer than usual. Since it’s been overcast I was able to go out for longer without having to suffer in the heat. Of course, the boys came out to play on the porch…since we don’t have much of a back yard, they love playing in the front…
…and then Ethan asked when he would be baptized.
So, began a conversation between him and Byron that got me out of my funk and reminded me of why we do what we do.
Byron was able to pray with Ethan and lead him to faith in Christ. It was so simple, but so profound…
…just what I needed to get my mind off of my silly Monday blues. It was just what I needed to remind me that there are bigger things than whether I’m sick again or not…more important things to consider - like eternity.
And tonight I can rest in the fact that my family is being held by Someone stronger and less fragile than I…my health, or lake thereof, can’t change that. That gives me peace.
It’s a real gift to those who love you for them to know that your eternity is secure…
Think about it.
Peace.
We’re so happy for you guys…especially Ethan! What could make your day better than that! Love you guys
Wow! Exciting! What a way to get right out of that funk. I’m thrilled by Ethan’s decision and I’m thrilled to have a new “brother”!
What FANTASTIC news!
Praising God here for a new younger brother in Christ.
Yea!
It brings me to tears everytime I get to tell parents that their child is questioning or has prayed that special prayer. This just happened in Powerhouse a few weeks ago. I still get chills when I remember telling his parents and how emotional they became.
Hope you feel better
Awesome. What a wonderful blessing for your Monday. Hope you feel better soon. Did you get an appointment with the chiropractor? Love you.
That makes for an awesome Monday!
