My Daughter My Neighbor

I have had a practical lesson in showing love this week. One or both of my children have been sick for going on ten days now. Since they have had trouble eating, I have gone to any lengths at any time of the day to give them whatever sounds appealing. Warm up some soup? Sure. Whip up a milkshake? No problem. I myself remember the drudgery of being sick for days on end, so I have gladly read chapter after chapter to my daughter this week and selected some shows that we could watch together to try to ease her malaise.

How are you at loving those neighbors right under your roof? How have I managed to do it this week? Please click over to read the complete post at Faith Lifts today.




UPDATE: Heather, one of the coordinators of Faith Lifts, needs our prayers. You may be familiar with her daughter, Emma, for whom we've been praying, but Heather herself needs our prayers now as she deals with the news that she has a brain tumor. You can keep updated on her blog.
