Getting Everything Together

We're back, and it is a fairly busy Friday morning. I let Isaac and Emma sleep in this morning, since all of us have been so sick with the stomach flu. But, from the sounds of it, they are up and ready for breakfast! That is Great! But it also means I have only a few minutes to blog. I've beentrying to update our weblog this morning, giving it a more complete look. I just have to figure out now how to put a list of our favorite links at the side, and how to add a picture of us to our profile. I found the area where I can add a picture, but I'm not sure of the html of the picture I want to use. I'll figure it out eventually.

I'm tired today. But I copied down a great prayer this morning from our Children of Destiny site (see our second posting or check the link below; look under "help defeat autism in Jesus' name"). It says: Dear Lord, There are times when we become discouraged and feel robbed of strength because of the load we carry. Nevertheless, the Bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. Therefore, we ask that in times of weakness and tiredness that You would visit our family with joy, which produces strength, and delight, which produces vitality. We pray that You would bring a new wind of strength (I like that!) to our spirits for days ahead. We ask, Lord, that You would teach us how to have joy and delight in You, even when our circumstances are difficult (dealing with an autistic child, with sickness in the entire family, with day to day life!). In Jesus' name, Amen." That prayer began the process of picking up my spirits this morning, and I hope it does for you, too!
