Debbi, the most difficult time in my life personally came after you, Pam, and I returned from visiting Togo in 1996. You will remember that I became ill with what we later believed was hepatitis and I operated about 1/4 speed for a full year. That impacted the whole family but no one else was ill. There was another time when you, Pam, and Tim all had chicken pox at the same time, but neither your mother nor I were ill. Because of her rhinitis, JoAnn has always gotten colds and flu that impacted her longer and harder than most people, so there have been many times when she continued to minister to the family while being ill or recovering. But, I don't remember a time when all of us were severely ill at the same time. So, I can only imagine how hard it is for you right now. But, I want to assure you that it will pass, as all trials do. In fact, have I ever shared with you my mother's favorite Bible verse? "And it came to pass . . ." She will quote that verse (which appears several places) and then say, "Yes, it did not come to stay, it came to pass." I love that. Anyway, here is another scripture to encourage you: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalm 103:2-5). IPFY
They're still cute, even when they're sick!! Trust you all are on the "up" now. Hope to see you soon!
