We&#8217;re all sick again!  What&#8217;s with that?  A week or two ago I printed out a passage of Scripture for us to think about, and I didn&#8217;t realize then just how meaningful it would become:<\/p>\n<p>He said to me, &#8220;My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.&#8221; I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. <br \/>For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. (2Cor 12:9-10)<\/p>\n<p>It seems that God has been giving us the opportunity to see just how true that is!  This winter we all got very sick.  And now I feel even sicker (and it&#8217;s lasting longer)!<\/p>\n<p>God really gave me strength yesterday.  I taught adult Sunday school, and then led the service.  That&#8217;s a lot to do for a healthy person!  I made it through, and was even able to go and get some take out Mexican Food for Shari for Mother&#8217;s Day.  (Some kind person gave us a few $ so that Shari could have a Mother&#8217;s Day meal.  Cool, huh?)  Then I was pretty much on my back until 8am this morning.  I wish I was still on my back, but now all three of us are quite sick, so we&#8217;ll just have to share the load!  Being sick all together is rather hard, because who do you call to help you?  If anyone comes to help, they&#8217;ll just get sick too!<\/p>\n<p>When I am weak, then I am strong, because it&#8217;s at times like this that I really know that God is working through me &#8211; I can&#8217;t do it alone!<\/p>\n<p>This week we have a lot to do to prepare for our trip.  We&#8217;ll probably be leaving on the 15th.  We&#8217;ll try to keep you posted as things progress!  Have a great day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guess what?
