These three have been patients in my infirmary all weekend. They all look alike and must have the same immune system too.
Thankfully “cousin” George was here to help me hold down the fort and keep the pages turned in every book we own. George is husband to my cousin, Erin, and we loved having him here all weekend! He did dishes, helped with kids, and was just a joy to have in our home!
I did manage to sneak away to the kitchen myself for a little more of this.
*side note: I love the taste of pumpkins but pre-cooked, pre-spiced… the smell is somewhat atrocious.
I was also reminded this weekend why we don’t co-sleep with Rover or any rover for that matter.
Because they are rovers. Little man wasn’t feeling good Saturday night, really needed his mommy and would only stop crying if he was snuggled up next to me in our bed. Which might have been restful for him, but for me was quite the opposite. Every time I would doze off I would wake up in a panic and think, ”is he still here, did he fall off the bed, is he about to fall of the bed?!“ I know some people sleep with their kids {to each his own} but my goodness I’m not used to that, I would have slept better on the hardwood floor with no pillow. I’m thankful that he seems to be feeling better this morning and he only visited our bed once last night!
And this morning when I walked outside to crisp fall temperatures with cup of coffee in hand the Lord met me where I was, at my back door, with the most beautiful sunrise I’ve ever seen.
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
He is faithful and his mercies never fail… I pray you find encouragement in that today as we tackle a new week! Thank you, Lord Jesus for your compassions & faithfulness to us!
