The children continue to do better. They are up and about more and starting to eat more too. Their fevers seem to come and go...a day with no fever and the next day it's back...lots of coughing still. So we're keeping our days simple and encouraging lots of rest and fluids. But doing so much better than a week ago.
Thank you for your prayers. How thankful I am that we can always go to the Lord who loves to hear and answer our prayers.
Today we spent the day in the van; we had to go down to La Paz (the capital) so I could sign the paperwork for my new visa. Daniel does all of the work (filling out the paperwork, getting the necessary items required to apply, turning it all in, paying the fees at the bank etc...) and when it's all done, I just sign :) Normally we get an early start, but with everyone not feeling 100%, we took it easy this morning and left later.
It was a long day and the children did so good...if only they could have all coughed in harmony. :) We are so thankful to be back home safe this evening; how gracious is the Lord's protective hand.
And speaking of thankfulness, here are some pictures of what we've been working on the past couple days.
Oh, so thankful I am!
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. I Thess. 5:18

Praise God that He hears and answers our prayers.
ReplyDelete1 Thessalonians 5:18 is one of my favourites, but I struggle with it sometimes.

So glad to see your kids on the upswing! The flu went through our house and it was so sad to see my kids down for a full 7 days. Praying for you and Daniel's health! Yesterday I saw the other header... and this morning I saw the one that is up now and I really like it. Especially the Serving together tag.

Hi there. Sorry to hear that your family has been under the weather but happy to hear that everyone is feeling better. I just wanted to let you know that you and your family are often in my thoughts and prayers even though I have not left comments before. If you ever make it to the Los Cabos area, would love to get together and let the kids play some. In Christ, Pattie Eager
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the new header!!! It looks great! We're so glad everyone is on the mend. :) We'll miss you tomorrow at the church banquet. Wish y'all were here. ):
ReplyDeleteThank the Lord you are feeling better...I can usually tell my littles are feeling perkier if they want to color or draw pictures. That's always a good sign....looove the new blog header. Take care.

I love your new header and enjoy reading about your daily activities. I was inspired by your art project with the turkeys so I had my two little ones make their own this weekend and give to their grandma for a cherished keepsake of their little hands and feet. Plus they turned out great! Thanks for a cute idea and fun family time as we worked on these together after dinner. Blessing to you.
