Daily Truth: But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
I realize that I promised that I would write about “Dress Rehearsal.” But alas, sometimes things happen in our lives that are completely out of our control and definitely NOT in our calendar. That pretty much sums up the past 9 days.
It all started when the hubs came home a week ago terribly sick. Now let me just preface this by saying my husband is NOT one of those “husband turn whimp,” wanting to rest, when he gets sick. Also, my husband’s job is such that he can go to work and not have to interact with too many people. Off to work he went Friday morning despite the protest from the family and spending part of the night sick. When he came home Friday night from work, walked into the house, and rested on the couch without even taking his winter coat or hat off I knew we were in trouble. And that is the way he stayed until Saturday morning.
It was a down hill battle from there. Literally every 36 hours someone else fell prey to the flu this week. I cleaned the bathrooms and did laundry every day. (The house now permanently smells of Lysol). I fought it until the commander of her troops could fight it no longer and finally I succumbed last night.
Next week, I will discuss the importance of “Dress Rehearsal” with our children. But for now, this weary and cranky mother is going to drink some tea, take a hot bath, rest and enjoy a few minutes of sheer utter silence (which believe me is a rarity in this house) before the troops come home from church.
Until next week ladies,
Rebekah
