I thought croup was just for kids!

Apparently not. Suddenly croup caused things to get real tight in my throat last night, drained me of all energy, slapped me with a nice headache and terrible barking-seal-painful cough!

Before that, I stepped away from the screen to devote some time on my knees. Nothing in particular, just needing to keep the main thing the main thing!

Thanks for your prayerful comments and prayers! Here’s a verse I’ve been delighting in even amidst the croup.

Thus says the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.

– Isaiah 66:1-2

    Oh Sheila, the sick part is awful. The way you are meditation on God’s Word through it is amazing and inspiring. I do hope you feel better, and I will pray for you this evening.

    Sorry you’re feeling so sick. Ugh. :~(I love this image of the earth as a footstool for God’s feet. BTW, there’s an award waiting for you at Chrysalis, when you get the chance. :~D

    Lord, I ask that You will speed along Sheila’s healing. May she find time to rest and get any medical attention she needs. Amen. ~Luke
