daily life as life goes on . . .

My wife continues to deal with a cold that hangs on, hangs out and hangs in.  Today she stepped out for a few minutes and came back a bit exhausted.

Later I talked to my daughter – she has a daughter who has a cold.  And my sister-in-law phoned – her cold continues on.

What do we do as we deal with colds?  We find our minds are a bit confused – or at best slow.  We find our emotions are dampened or heightened – depending on the moment.  We find our spirits feel separated from our bodies – as though we walk behind ourselves.

No wonder our greatest prayer and desire is to place the cold behind us.  May these dis-eases move on quickly.

A week away!  Great times visiting. 

But colds tracking us! 

Jill is watching herself carefully – the coughing is still there but hopefully a bit less intense.  I was in to the office and work for around 11 hours.  Spent the evening doing very little.

And now to bed – hopefully both of us will find our selves in better shape tomorrow!

The last few days I’ve been fighting a cold.  I’m not always sure how you fight a cold.  I took some lemon drink that helps fight the symptoms of a cold.  I put oil of oregano under my tongue (great approach to fighting a cold!).  I took some other medications.  And used kleenex!

Now, I’m preparing for a day in the city.  Hopefully I’ll be able to survive without passing on my cold or being overcome with the cold.

Which is life.  We seek balanced health, but some days the colds just sneak in.

We had a report from a group of youth who headed to Turnor Lake, Saskatchewan for a short term missions trip.  The report was an hour long, and on one wanted to leave.  Check out the link below to hear the whole report!!
