Same Kind of Different as Me

Just finished reading the book, 'Same Kind of Different as Me', from Dotsie and Bonnie's book club (which is to review the book soon). Only thing I'll say is that it's a life-changing book. Well, if it doesn't break your heart and cause you to think twice about your faith, then maybe it's not so life-changing. Shoot, even to the level of thinking how you continue to live your life. It's priceless.

My illness these past few days---God's opportunity for filling me up with Him.

Glad I'm feeling better, though, with the ability to wash bedding, do some dishes and all-around look more normal for the kids. It's hard for them to see their mama have to go to the bed so often, after being exhausted by even the smallest chores. But, I'm so thankful that this is a minor hiccup. Everyone's much better, and my husband and two of our sons have missed it completely. Now to focus on our home and family, but to keep the things I've learned these past few days tucked close to my heart. My dad used to say that, as children, we were always different after being ill. Guess that can be said to be the truth with adults as well, can't it?
