My husband.
I am so thankful for this man!
Over the last 3 days he has cleaned up over 70 bowls of spew.
He has washed 3 sets of sheets.
He has soothed 3 feverish brows...over and over and over again.
All with a sympathetic heart and loving kindness.
It wasnt the Easter celebration our family thought we'd be having.
And while I cant profess to have gleaned any new wisdom in relation to Christ's death and resurrection this year, I did have one (horribly graphic) thought. Which I probably shouldnt share...
While sitting on the toilet, bowl in hand, being very sick...I thought to myself that there could be nothing more demoralising or degrading. Until I thought of the sheer pain, degradation and suffering of Christ on the cross...and thats just the physical part. Sure puts a bout of gastro into perspective.

Oh NO! I hope you are all on the mend! Praying for you all to get well fast!
We spent last Easter home with fevers.... its a bummer.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are all sick. I *kinda* know the feeling, only ours was a different kind of sick. The boys are just today acting more like their normal selves.
Enough about us, I hope and pray you all get well soon. Thank the Lord for loving husbands and daddies!
I know the cross must have been very degrading for Christ, but I sometimes wonder if He was too sad to feel much of anything else(emotionally). It does put it into perspective to know that He *willing* suffered more than any of us ever will.
*willing-LY* =)
Bless you my dears! Its always horrible when it happens like that...Gotta love our darling husbands who care for us even when its ugly. Funny how God uses the most stange times to remind us how much he loves us!
