Referencing Laughter

By the way, this is one of those times when I need to read what I wrote about laughing.  It truly is where sanity lies!
Hey, I wonder if some laughter would help my sick family!

Grace

I started to write this post and then hit the wrong button and erased the whole thing. Now, I took that and decided that God must have a different thing He wants me to post....This day or should I say week has been a very trying one.  The children have been sick, my husband (who is never sick) is sick and my week of relaxation before school starts back has been significantly altered not to mention the break my children and husband were expecting.  It is at this point that I realize how God is so overwhelmingly gracious to me.  It is through His grace that we have the ability to take things as they come and feel a sence of peace that no matter what, it will all be alright.  It really is alright.  I didn't say easy, but alright.  He gives grace as it is needed.  Praise God that we can rest in that comfort. Comfort in the arms of Him, big and strong, caring for us as if a child. His grace is sufficient!

Quiet Rest

I have come to really enjoy quiet.  When everyone is down for the night and sleeping soundly.  I can actually hear myself think. I am thankful tonight for God's love for me and my family.  I am thankful to know that He is always in control of my life and will see me through whatever comes my way.  What a blessing to know that we can go before our Lord and just ask Him to be with us today and He will.  What a blessing to know that we can rest our head in peace because we know that He is with us. Time for rest so I will be ready for tomorrow.

Thank you Amber for your help with this blog. You are truly a wonderful niece to help your elderly aunt. I love you very much!

Laughter

Learn to laugh a lot even when things are not funny and are really hard. (Like now! When the kids are sick and with stitches.) It somehow makes things more tolerable. "A cheerful heart is good medicine" Proverbs 17:22.
People will think you are crazy, but at least you will be a happy crazy person. Smile!
