This past week has taught me a few things. You see, I've had this bothersome virus since last Wednesday that has made me dizzy and nauseous - a really annoying combination. It has prevented me from doing a lot of things; important things like moving around, driving and eating. So here's what I've learned
1. To be grateful for my good health. It's only when you can't do something that you realize how much you take doing that thing for granted. As much as I hate to drive a lot, I realize how much my family and I depend on my being able to drive. I had to have one of my kids drive me to the grocery story last week. Thankfully one of them was available. If this turned into a common occurrence (which I know it is for some people), it would make the already dreaded grocery shopping trip into something even more dreaded. Not that shopping with my kids is something I dread, mind you, but depending on them to be around to take me would be dreaded.
2. To pray more for other moms who suffer from some kind of chronic illness that impacts their ability to function as a mother. I know from some of the mom-facebook groups I'm in that there are a lot of moms out there who suffer like this. Trust me, after this minor stint at being somewhat incapacitated, I will pray even more for you when you ask me to!
I'm still having bouts of this on and off throughout the day, so hopefully whatever it is will take the fast train out of town soon! In the meantime, I will pray for those of you who suffer on a daily basis!
God Bless!
