Lots more today in the realm of body aches. I sneezed while sitting on a stool in class today, and it hurt. My whole insides in the front felt like they had been, almost, punched. An actual youch.
Fortunately, the kids were great about it. I said it had hurt, and they saw I was in pain. When I asked for someone to bring me two tissues (because my nose was running almost immediately from the sneeze), there was no hesitation. And, I noticed, as I handled blowing my nose and gathering myself, slowly recovering from the blow – ha! – (to my insides, not the nose and tissue) the girls sat there in almost complete silence. Perhaps they were worried. I imagine I would have been so in their shoes. Like I said, it was obvious that I was in pain. And the bizarreness of a sneeze’s having caused it just made it all the more unnerving. But, as I said, they handled it well as a class. They waited patiently and quietly for me to heal, and I did.
But it hurt. And I’ve had their aches on the insides today, too. The skin wasn’t hurting so much today – it had felt like it was actively stretching for about a day and half – but the insides were.
Man… this stuff is tough.
God, thank you for this opportunity. Keep me and the baby safe. Make us both well, please. Help us to get along well and beautifully with one another and with my husband. Keep my husband safe, please. Grant him a joyful and satisfying and safe birthday tomorrow, please. Thank you for him. I am so grateful… thank you. Help us to see clearly and to follow easily your path for us. Also, can you share our baby’s name with us yet? In your name, I pray. Amen.
