I am sick...again!!! I hate it. I'm sure you know the feelings, your tired & just don't feel like yourself. My family really doesn't like it when I'm sick, for obvious reasons, but 1 of the main reasons is, I don't feel like joking around. Trying to watch tv & Matt insists on singing the theme song, most of the time I'm singing along w/ him, but my head hurts & I don't want to sing. I don't even remember what Natalie said, but the response I gave her wasn't what she thought & so then I got a, "WOOOW!" Sorry I'm sick. I take a shower, make some tea, grab a blanket & sit on the couch. As I'm sitting there w/ my tea it made me think of my grandma (tichawa-she lived in Chicago)she was a HUUUGE tea drinker. It made me think of both of my grandmas really. When I was in labor w/ Jake & waiting for Monte to pick me up, I was at my Gma McGhie's, she lived in town, well as my contractions are coming & I'm getting anxious she says, "you want me to make you some tea?" So tea has always been kind of comforting & soothing for me. When I was drinking it last night it just brought a little bit of peace to me. Good memories came flooding back & I thought, "thank you Father for putting those 2 ladies in my life," they were different in many ways, but the thing that made them exactly the same was love. They both loved w/ all they had & they had very big hearts!! They were welcoming & hospitable. And I thought, I hope as I start having grand kids that they will think those things of me. That beyond anything they know about me, they will know & remember my love was strong. It's important that we show & share that love with all those around us, even if we're sick & don't necessarily feel like it, our love needs to flow. So let's all do our best to make sure our love faucet is on high--what a difference we might make to just 1 person & that's really all we need to do--is reach just 1 person!! God will always do the rest & more seeds will be planted, & love will be shown. Just let it start w/ you....& maybe some tea ;-)) 1John 3:11...We should love one another. 1John 3:16- This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers & sisters.
