As our family enters the home stretch of a long drawn sickness, I’ve realized that it’s easier to thank God when body temperatures are low and no one is coughing a fit. But it takes a special kind of grace, to be able to thank God through the coughs and high temperatures. Here I am, thanking God for His grace and strength that carried us through last week.
