A cold

This was a productive day.  Isaac hung out with my sister-in-law all day and then played with his cousins after they finished school.  He had a wonderful time. 

I hung out with my parents for a lot of the day and was able to go to twelve different places to cross off twelve errands from my to-do list, including picking up medicines and medical supplies and dropping off paperwork at the paediatrician's office. 

Since our brief loss of power a few weeks ago, we realized that we needed more flashlights.  We are now ready to see in the dark if necessary. 

Isaac does not enjoy getting his hair rinsed in the bathtub.  He certainly makes it sound like we are traumatizing him when we rinse it.  We tried a new technique tonight but it didn't go over well.

After we pray with Isaac and sing our goodnight song, Graham says goodnight and leaves the room and I ask Isaac what song he would like me to sing.  He often picks, "Jesus Loves Me."  I told him tonight that some people don't know that Jesus loves them.  He agreed with me that that is sad.  

The other sad news is that Josiah has been coughing from time to time tonight.  I'll be listening to him carefully tonight and tomorrow.  We haven't dealt with nasal congestion before and I pray that we don't have to now.  He doesn't need anything to negatively affect his breathing.   

Thank you so much for your prayers!  We need your prayers for health and also for sleep tonight as Josiah keeps waking up.  We're thankful for God's tremendous goodness in our lives.

Blessings,

Elizabeth

Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.  Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
