Lenten Journey ~ Day 7

Today is another sick day at our house. This is the 5th sick day we've had in the last 8 days. I didn't think that I really wanted to face the day today, but I got up. Daryl prayed for me and at 9:30 this morning I sent out a request for pray to our church's prayer team.

While there wasn't a complete healing for Gracie, she did start keeping down fluids and a bit of food. While she and Elizabeth drew and watched a movie (or two... don't judge me), I tackled another shelf in the playroom. There was a huge tub of old sports equipment (my rollar blades from 22 years ago) and my scrapbook container.

I do believe I accomplished more than my goal today. I filled half to 2/3 of a barney bag (Gloucester's required trash bags) and almost a full paper bag of paper scraps. In addition to that I completed a promise I made to my mom almost 3 years ago! (Mom, start looking for a package just as soon as everyone is well enough for me to to get the post office).

I do believe that I accomplished the equivalent of 5(?) grocery bags today. All that and a recovering sick daughter, I am grateful for the slowdown of my schedule which allowed all of this. Although I do wish that Gracie would start feeling better for her sake (and for mine as well).
