One Day at a Time

Breathe!! Take a deeeeep breath. That is what I am telling myself a lot lately. Between a toddler in a cast, both kids getting the stomach flu, and Keziah's surgery coming up tomorrow, life is a mite busy right now. No wonder I am fighting a cold!

Oh, and we are playing host to a dear family of 5 for these two weeks as well. I am very thankful for that - it's been so nice to spend some time with these friends of ours.

Lincoln has adapted well to his cast.

His hardest night was just the Saturday night, a.k.a. Bath Night. Oh, the poor boy cried so hard because he couldn't take a "baf". He actually cried harder then than he did when he got hurt!! But no bath for him. I know I could cover it in a plastic bag, but I just don't have time this week to have to take him in if the bag leaks and the plaster cast gets wet. So sponge baths it is. And after tomorrow's surgery with Keziah, both kids are relegated to sponge baths.

Some highlights of the past week, to show that it wasn't all about broken bones and spewing stomachs (oiy, that's gross - sorry! :o)

That little lady to the left, and that handsome boy in the middle have come up with some future plans. Didn't think daddy had to buy a shotgun already! ;)

So while it has been a busy week, it ended well, with the focus on Easter. While we celebrate Easter all year long, it is always nice to really focus on God's great love for us wretched sinners. The fact that we may live, knowing that our Saviour LIVES - wow, what comfort, hope and excitement for what is promised to us in the future. And how wonderful it is to experience a little taste of that promised salvation today already, knowing that our sins are forgiven and death has no power. Even when life can get busy and somewhat overwhelming, may we live each day out of thankfulness for what has been given to us through the death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is in this that we may face what is coming this week, with Keziah's surgery and Lincoln's Fracture Clinic appointment. May whatever struggle or overwhelming situation you find yourself in this week, turn to Jesus and seek Him to carry you through, because He cares. He gave up His life for you and me after all. Now *that* is Love.
