Recovered


I’m thankfully back in the land of the living with you. It seems as though I’ve lost about 2 weeks worth of abundant living due to some nasty ear and sinus infections. Thank you so much for the prayers and cards and all the things you've done to make me feel loved and cared for during my hiatus.

But, alas….I am well. It’s hard to keep a good woman down, eh?! But, may I share a bit of a "first" for me?

I gave myself permission to rest while my body went about the healing process.

I allowed myself to rest.

Appointments were cancelled while accommodating the unknown timeframe for wellness.

I allowed myself to rest.

My house was not in the usual state of order and cleanliness.

I allowed myself to rest.

My family ate, survived and found all necessary items.

I allowed myself to rest.

I didn't think in terms of what I was missing.

I allowed myself to rest.

Self-permission is sometimes hard but so rewarding when allowed.

“I said to myself, “Relax and rest. God has showered you with blessings.”
Psalm 116:7 MSG

I'm so glad you're feeling better! Letting ourselves rest and recuperate is so hard, but truly needed. Good to see you back!
