We've Been Sick

Richard stayed home sick from work Saturday. In all the years he's been working, I can count on my fingers the days he has ever taken off sick. He looked awful. Sunday was a bit better for him and he went to work. He was off yesterday and today as regular days off and by now seems to be feeling fine.

Also, I haven't felt well for the past several days, and I'm thankful to be more chipper today. I only put two tasks on my to-do list, deciding that would be plenty considering my recent energy levels, but I actually got an energy boost from cleaning at church. They are having VBS now and there is a beach motif... lots going on in all the rooms as well as outdoors.

I had a good visit with Mike after my work was all done, then headed over to MT's to work on the Orlando Brain Injury Support website. She is amazingly organized and we were able to get things worked out quickly and have time to visit and get to know one another a little bit. She is an animal lover like we are and had a sweet older dog and several cats, one of whom thoroughly explored the innards of my purse which she had managed to open.

I mentioned I had been under the weather for a day or so, well my Mac has been in critical condition! It got so bad I had to reinstall the operating system and I am still not sure about it all. I may need to take it to Apple for repair. All my fixes have only made things worse, and the manual they sold me is too elementary to help. I am going to tinker a bit tonight, so if you don't hear from me tomorrow, I may have killed it.

I am praying for solutions and healing... for the computer as well as my frustration with it. And I am trusting God to provide. He has never failed me. Oh, there have been times when I could have thought He did from my human, frail and sometimes faithless point of view, but in the end, I can always look back and see His wise and loving hand in all my affairs... and it was always better than my way would have been. Lessons were learned, insight was given, feeling and compassion were deepened... faith was strengthened and joy heightened. Such are the ways of my loving Lord!
