BLESSINGS AND A WHOLE LOT OF BARFING...

Well, I know that is not the best title for my post... but it is what we are experiencing at the moment.

We headed down to Texas to FINALLY celebrate Christmas with my in-laws. (My mother in law was ready with Christmas cookies and the tree still up) Greg was such a gem to drop me off in Dallas to attend a Mother's conference with Sally Clarkson. I met up with my precious friend Mary and a bunch of her friends. It was an absolute blessing for me to be with those ladies. I am so thankful my dear friend has such wonderful friends. When we moved and left my sweet friend Mary and her husband Chris almost 11 years ago... we cried... we still cry when we talk about us moving. But I am so thankful that God blessed her with such great, welcoming, loving friends... they accepted me right in as one of their own... so neat to be with other sisters in Christ. The conference was awesome, the fellowship great... an absolutely delightful time....

But back on the home front sickness was brewing...

Greg was up all night Friday to Saturday with Hope while she was throwing up... We all thought it was something that she ate because we are thinking for many reasons that she has some major issues with some food allergies that we are trying to figure out.

Hope was fine on Saturday afternoon and all day yesterday. We even had a wonderful night celebrating with all the extended family... (I cringe thinking that we may have exposed them all to something) ... But then Jojo started later last night, then Hope restarted... then Anna, then my father in law, and then my mother in law....

Ahhh, break out the disinfectant... I feel awful that we brought this with us somehow... I feel bad for them... and am praying that the Lord protects the rest of us from getting it:)

I was thankful for the opportunity to rest with Jojo all night and help him and pray over every inch of that little guys body... to place him repeatedly back in the Lord's care... Praise God he is on the mend... keeping things down, Hope too, and hopefully Anna and the in-laws are close behind:)

I am thankful that we have a God that heals... I have seen first hand that it may not always be a healing on this side of Heaven, but if He doesn't chose to heal here on earth... He certainly does heal them for all of eternity...

Praying that we get over this quickly so we can enjoy some good family and friend time for the rest of the week.

It was really nice to get a break from life... but I do feel a little out of touch:)
