Showing Signs of Life

So, my blog is actually showing signs of life. Like there is actually a blogger who enjoys blogging about her and her family's lives.

My title is also significant because of the week I have had. Monday evening rolled around with me having no appetite for supper. Then Monday night...bam! I was hit with some something, me thinks it was the flu. So, the rest of the week, through Saturday, I was confined inside the walls of my house.

But today, oh today, (Can I get an amen!) I returned to the land of the living. As we drove to church, the sun shined brightly in my eyes and I rejoiced. The leaves (The ones that are still there) gleamed with golden yellows, warm oranges and reds. And the people, my oh my, I got to mingle with people. (Hallelujah!)

I don't wish sickness on anyone. But, I do know that being cooped up in a house for a week with sickness gives me a GREAT appreciation for the good health that my family and I usually walk in. I suppose that we cannot appreciate the pleasures of life, as much, without sometimes experiencing pain. As Solomon said, "There is season for everything under heaven. A time to mourn and a time to REJOICE!" Thank God, that we know from His word that our lives will not be all sunshine, but they will also not be all rain.

So, I am showing signs of life today. Whoohoo!

Did I ever send you an email telling you we really missed you Tuesday and I hoped you got better? I think I composed said email in my head but never sent it. :-/

I'm so glad you are feeling better!! Welcome to the land of the living!!

My word verification word is "abort." If I type that in, will this comment and Blogger disappear?!

Glad to hear you are feeling better. I agree, there is nothing like a sickness to make us appreciate health.
