Thankfully
I haven't been able to post a lot lately because of everyone here being a bunch of sickies - except for me...so far...(my fingers crossed & borrowed others ;). That and when we are finally at home, I can't seem to get to the computer. I could probably post from my phone, but I've been lazy about that.
I have been enjoying just being a mum. A mum without an illness. I had been sick for so many years that I had learned to deal with it and function. Never wanting to think about all that I could be doing. I couldn't think that way, but now I can. I know all that I missed and I am not letting anything go now. I am happy and proud to stay home with my kids. I am blessed to have them.
This past year has been such an awakening to how much we can endure and not just trudge through but thrive. My bad days now are nothing in comparison and I thank God for healing me. When things seem overwhelming, they're not. I know God has my back, always. I am thankful I have the opportunities to ride bikes, go to the rink, the beach, theme parks, anywhere and everywhere, with my family & friends. And I am thankful to go through all the trials with my family and friends. I pray that I am a help and not a burden.
"But I trust in your Grace,
my heart rejoices as You bring me to safety.
I will sing to ADONAI, because He gives me
even more than I need."
Psalms 13:5 & 6
So tonight, finally home after being at the rink for 5 hours, ate dinner, took showers and did some school, my daughter is recovering from her flu stuff, son is in the middle of his and hubby is passed out in the bed with the start of his. Me? I am fighting to keep all the bad, snot-nosed, hacking, nasty cooties away from me!!!
...I have too many things to do and the list is growing...thankfully,
Praise God!
