hoarse hallelujahs

We have been struggling through fevers, colds, sinus infection the past two weeks.  After tons of tissues, lots of water, gallons of hand-washing, mugs of hot tea, piles of patience and countless long nights.  I was done yesterday.  At the end of myself.  At the end of myself- and only just the beginning of Him!  And how grateful I am that He is immense, and enough, and all I could ever need.

gifts from His hand:
#5045. Your good timing- my sinus infection not setting in until Josh came home from retreat!
#5046.  Not being given any more than I can bear.
