I'm having a nice sickation!

The last few days with my kids being sick has, I'm embarrassed to admit..... kind of been nice. Of course I'm sad that my kids haven't been feeling well, but it has been so nice to have an excuse to just stay at home. It's been nice to not feel like I have somewhere to go and something to do every second of the day. It's also been nice to spend some quality time with my family too. I know, though, if it were me that was sick instead of my kids, I would probably still be going at full speed. It's been pleasant to have an excuse to slow down. I really think that God gave us sickness to force us to slow down, and also to be thankful for health, which I know I take for granted!
