My poor Parker! He is so sick! Really- what's a bed rest mom to do with sick kids? We just get through hour by hour and hope that the stress doesn't put me into labor. Thankfully, friends and neighbors are still helping with the healthy kiddos!
Thought for the day by Joseph B Wirthlin, from "Come What May and Love It"
"...In spite of
discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of
learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a
result….If we approach adversities wisely, our hardest times can be times of
greatest growth, which in turn can lead toward times of greatest happiness….Learning
to endure times of disappointment, suffering, and sorrow is part of our on-the-job-training. These experiences, while often difficult to bear at
the time, are precisely the kinds of experiences that stretch our
understanding, build our character, and increase our compassion for others…Sometimes
the very moments that seem to overcome us with suffering are those that will
ultimately suffer us to overcome."
Oh my, praying that the other kiddos stay healthy and that Parker recovers quickly!!!
