Stomach flu

So last night the virus that had Bobby on Sunday night got a hold of me.  It wasn’t pretty.

I think of people who experience this kind of distress a lot — people going through chemotherapy for instance.  I feel for them.  For me, I know this is just a passing flu and I will soon be back to full health.  To suffer this without that assurance must be really tough.  I am grateful also that my life at this moment allows me to just take it easy for a couple of days while I recover.  There are many in this world who don’t have that luxury when they get sick.

Lord, be with all people in this world who suffer from chronic illnesses.  Amen.
