I am finally back in the land of the living, after a good 2 weeks bedrest and doing very little other than sleeping and reading in bed! Once again, God has been so gracious and good in giving me the support and help I needed to recover and get back to full strength. The weeks leading up to this operation I felt daunted and stressed to have to go through it all again and worried how we would cope practically, but God always provides and I sure am learning that each time! He never leaves us short of what we need always showing his love for us though the people around us. I am so encouraged by the love of Christ shining through people in their kindness and generosity. This is how others can know him, but seeing him in us.
So I am back to meal planning, cleaning and washing and trying to keep on top of the day to day, but relishing in the blessing that this is my role in our family. Enjoyed baking a yummy banana bread this morning with Isaac in my new stand mixer (thank you sarah and jim!) and then had a lovely walk to pick up asher from nursery...the sun was shining then, but not now! I was hoping to go out into the garden and do some weeding with the boys but the heavens have opened! More rain to help our plants grow I keep telling myself. I just hope they don't drown and get ruined!
I think I will go and wake Isaac up from his nap and take the boys out for an afternoon visit with Auntie Millie, otherwise they are going to drive me crazy stuck in all afternoon!
Take it easy. God Bless x
