Flu Bug.

The little lady and I have been nursing the flu for the past week. We're recovering but it's been pretty slow. The hardest part is probably having to power through the day in spite of the symptoms. But God gives the grace needed. We took it slow today and stayed home and did little jobs around the house. More sleep has also been on the cards. Perhaps one more stay home day tomorrow and we will be all right. 

The children listened to their father read The Lord of the Rings tonight, in darkness save for the glow of the little book light we have. It was tricky for our little man to follow along, but bless, by the end of it, he was fast asleep. Such a huge blessing considering how he takes a long time to fall asleep nights, and few better ways to fall asleep than to the lull of a great book being read to you.
