There’s a lot of sickness going around, and our household has not escaped it. It seems like it has been lingering, moving from one person to the next. While I have managed to avoid most of it, I may be dealing with a bit of a cough myself.

It’s frustrating to be slowed down when there’s so much to do. But sickness has a way of reminding us of something we often forget: We are not invincible.

We live in a fallen world where sickness and weakness are part of life. I’m not saying God caused this sickness, but I do know this: in every season, even the ones we wouldn’t choose, He is present, and He is faithful.
