on cloudy days

On days like these, my whole being is helpless and useless. Oh how I hated to be sick !
The day before, Roland was sick with a very bad cough. His voice became hoarse and his muscles ached from coughing. I had a feeling that I was coming down with something. So drank a lot of water and tried to get a restful sleep. But sickness is no respecter of persons. It was too late. It struck me at the end. Yesterday, I was a piece of useless junk. My whole day was filled with heaviness, tiredness and dealing with a runny nose. It was not too bad in the morning, but once the full bloom struck, I was as helpless as a new born baby.
Roland by this time has gotten better. He always steps up to his plate when nursing me back to health.
So glad that I am much much better today. The clouds are gone and thank Jesus, He has healed me. I talked and pleaded with Him last night. Being sick is no fun. And thank You, Lord, for healing me. Now watch out people, drink a lot of water and get plenty of rest. For those people who sleep late and get up early....watch out.
Since Clara stops coming to our home , we have been sleeping really late and getting up at the same time every morning.(early) Guess that kind of life is out. We are back to getting enough sleep and living a normal healthy life.

Sigh of relief !

Sometimes I wonder why we meet " odd" people. Among the many people we met, this one in particular caused me some "pain".
This one though almost 80 is still very alert, active and demanding. The last straw with her was when she accused me of not cleaning her oven which I had worked very hard on the other day. One thing that will ruffle my feathers is being falsely accused. That can break my whole being ! For the past few days, I have heard insinuations about her missing stuffs which I totally ignored becuz my conscience is clear. Anyways, she called to inform that she had found those things that she claimed she had lost. And she does forget where she places her stuffs. But to have worked so hard on her old old oven and made it look like new is a different story.
I was ready to go to war with her this morning should this subject pop up.
In the night, I had a talk with God. And had told Him that I am ready to speak my peace, but was impressed to leave all to Him. So i submitted.
And this morning, instead of being unappreciative, she was the total opposite ! She praised our work and appreciated us. I thought she was someone else in disguise.
No mention of the oven and no confrontation.
God knows. He can settle any dispute. I don't have to do anything. So I am thankful and relieved.
