Saturday's Sadness

First on a positive note....I just finished reading the best fiction book that I have read in a long time....The Shack by William P. Young. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read as well as those who don't. It's about love, loss, and God's amazing love for his creation and His desire to have a relationship with us.....this book makes you sad and joyful all at the same time.

Today my heart was saddened. Sometimes it's hard to come home from work without being influenced by what is happening in the lives of others......moms and dads who are no longer able to care for themselves and reley on their children to help clean and feed them.....the husbands and wives who watch the love of their life fade off into another world and no longer recogonizes the one who has given them their heart for so many years...... and today a young girl in her 20's who will never know the joy that children bring to your heart, the feel of the man of your dreams holding you after a passionate night of making love.....for her life on earth will be cut short.

Praise God that our lives do not end when our time on earth ends.

Saturday = Sickness?????

For those who have visited my blog before....don't ask...

Funny how God has given dad a little taste of how things can be when you don't have the choice of being the fun parent for the day....
Usually when I work Saturday's I am a little envious b/c dad and the kids always do fun stuff. Well I worked last Saturday and when I got home Tim said Jake's been throwing up all morning and now Paul says his stomach hurts....He soon began too, but from the other end. Not such a fun day. I worked again this Saturday and on Friday Paul was dx with the hand, foot, mouth virus and when I came home today from work....Jake was running a 101 fever. Did this stop dad from trying to do fun things with the kids instead of being stuck in the house with 2 sick kids......NO......he decided to expose a room of 20 kids at Lowe's and tried to talk me into taking them to our class social...What was he thinking???? He kept saying "ahhh they're fine".

When I thought it was going to be a nightmare being home with 2 sick boys...well we went and rented movies and dad is with Jules "outside" at the class social and on my way home from the movie store it was reading 100 degrees on my car! Kinda glad we got to stay home.
