Being sick is nothing like delightful. It's just plain hard.
What's harder is when the one who's sick is your little nearly-10 month old.
Little j has woken up this morning....mega early.....with a runny nose and cough and that look of generally feeling miserable.
And there's nothing I can do to make him all better...now!
So in the midst of snot and tears and eye rubbing and nose wiping, I think PATIENCE and CUDDLES will be the best medicine.
I can do cuddles, but I struggle with patience. I like things done...NOW! I like things done...MY WAY!
So in this little season of sickness, I will ask God to give me patience. And I love that He answers those prayers.
To me, that's one of the very best things about being a Jesus-follower....He sets the example but He also gives us the power and ability to do like-wise.
So....if today your challenge is not a lack of patience, but a lack of peace or joy or courage or self-control or goodness or.......don't stew on your 'lack' but go to the One who has it all in abundance and ask Him to share.
He'll be delighted to.
