and what exactly do you have to complain about?

We are very sick in our home right now.  This is the sickest we have been in a couple of years.  We are talking fevers and a yucky cough.  I'm also struggling with my asthma at the moment.  Not sure if it has to do with this illness or allergies.  Nevertheless I am hoping it passes quickly.  Breathing is a treat.

Our eldest made some very poor choices last week and will be having to reap the consequences for his actions for a long time to come.  It was hard to hear the bad news from his foster mom.  I pray he learns from this experience and that the Lord will grab hold of his heart.  I pray the Lord will heal Big B.  It breaks my heart and it's hard for this mama to not have all of her little chickies under her direct care.  I trust God and His goodness.

With that said, I have nothing to complain about.  Nothing.  Nada.  Zilch.  Absolutely nothing.

A friend of mine recently said that she has no compassion for complaining in her home right now.  When her kids start to complain she asks them:  Are your parents buried under rubble in Haiti?  Did someone try to drown you today?  Did your appendix burst and now you have to be in the hospital due to septic shock and infection throughout your body?

I showed my kids some of these pictures of starving children tonight.  (Note: some are very graphic and may not be deemed appropriate for young children.)

Nothing.  I have nothing to complain about.

And he was obedient to death...even death on the cross. I have NOTHING to complain about.

I am praying for quick recoveries, mama hearts and mercies fresh each morning for all of you!
