Justin left school Friday with a stomach virus. He seemed to get better over the weekend, but now it’s back with a vengeance. He has spent much of today resting and soaking his sore bottom in the tub. Waiting to hear back from our nurse on whether a trip to clinic is necessary.

Really feel like crying. But know if I start all that I just might not stop.

Instead I’m thinking on this, as much as I possibly can.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. Romans 8:18-21
