Sick
Well I'm still battling a headache and raw throat and naggy cough. I stayed home from work but I'd better go in tomorrow. I'm glad I did because Charlie had 102 temp so I kept cold wet wash clothes on him and right now it's down to 100.4. I just went and bought a nice ice bag at Wall Mart for him. I hope his tempature doesn't go up during the night again. He's miserable and I'm not a very good nurse just ask him. How fun to get on my blog and I talk about sickness! I think now I'm getting a sinus thing going on. (there I go again).
So far this has already been a very hard emotional lent so does that mean I can expect great graces at Easter time? We have to die so HE can live right! It always seems more romantic when it's happening to someone else or when you read about the lives of the Saints. I guess it would be a good time to "offer it up". None of our suffering has to be wasted. When my mom was laying in a coma for all those months I knew in God's economy it was not wasted. He was working our her purgatory and working in the lives of us her children. It was in caring for my mom and my mentally ill dad that I became more ProLife. I was always against abortion but seeing how vulnverable my parents were at the end of their lives made we realize we need to speak up and protect all vulnerable people from the womb to a natural death.
My mom died on Good Friday. I remember that Holy Thursday how much she struggled to breath. It was so hard and painful to watch. Then before she took her last breath she openned her eyes and had a tear coming down. She didn't want to leave us. It's hard to believe on April 13th it will be 18 years. It was an honor that our Lord chose to take her on Good Friday. My mom had a hard life with my dad but she had such a wonderful attitude! God will honor our faithfulness to him. Remember we are just pilgrims on this strange land and our home is Heaven!
