This past week has been a crazy one with kids being sick and adults experiencing a lack of sleep. Tuesday would have been Lauren's first day back at work, but instead was spent taking Aubrey to the doctor. She ended up having strep throat. This was the sickest she has ever been. Aubrey didn't even go to school at all this past week. Brett took off Wednesday to stay with the kids. Today, Lauren took Hunter to the doctor, and he has a double ear infection.
All this sickness has made us really reflect on spiritual sickness and the effect sin has on our lives. Each night before Aubrey goes to bed, we pray together. Tonight she prayed, "God, thank you for loving us and sending Jesus. Help us remember Jesus died for our sins, and help us be saved." Tonight we read Isaiah 53. Verse 5 says, "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that has brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." We are healed from the sickness of sin through Jesus Christ's death on the cross.
We are praying that our children will realize the effect sin has on their lives, and their need for a Savior.
