Fortunately, I don't have anyone with the stomach flu, although I did clean up some ugly messes from the dog yesterday. Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking of my spiritual health while I did it!! Sigh...another wasted moment.<BR/><BR/>Like Rachel, when these things go through the house, I have an "iron man" too. We always thought John was immune to these bugs, now we are at the doctor with him every week with his brain tumor. God is full of surprises. He keeps me hopping from practicing one virtue to opportunities to practice another. And it is always the one I need the most practice and the one I would least likely choose for myself! <BR/><BR/>God bless all you moms who serve your children in sickness and health. May God bless you all!Joan Stromberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09453278552896048921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932672497436003864.post-40869806073463265202009-02-19T22:44:00.000-05:002009-02-19T22:44:00.000-05:00Joan,Great post!

I totally agree with your observations about the gross stuff we endure as parents.<BR/>About our own spiritual growth, I couldn't agree with you more. I think it is so crucial for our kids to see us stretch ourselves spiritually. I think you must have been doing that over the years for your kids to have turned out so well. Keep up the good work. You are a role model to so many women. God bless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
