Who Says Being Sick Isn't Fun? - by Leslie


If your big sister’s name is Andrea, and she hasn’t gotten The Bug yet; there’s all sorts of fun amidst trips to the bathroom!

There’s nothing like a rousing game of Fishin-opoly to take a young boy’s mind off his tummy troubles, especially if he’s the winner. I hope these boys realize and remember how privileged they are to have such a sister.

And, how privileged I am to be her mother! She has literally sung her way through our loads of yucky laundry and dishes. She smiles while serving up blankets, tea and towels. Her very countenance lifts our spirits at a time when we need it the most. Her willingness to be used for “such a time as this” is a testimony of her love for God, life and her family.

Seriously, folks, if you have to be this sick (and this has been a doozy) Andrea is the one to have around.

But, to be honest, I’m not having fun.
