A moment to pause

Lately, I have been feeling a little sorry for myself.  Just a minute ago, I finished reading the latest update of H's preschool classmate who is fighting Leukemia.  That caused me to pause and realize all the blessings in my life.  Lice and morning sickness will pass.  I have so much to be thankful for.

Another thought that really kept me going last week was from Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place.  When Corrie and Betsy were in the concentration camp, Corrie was complaining.  Betsy, her sweet sister, pointed out that we should thanks to God in everything.  Corrie asked, "Even the lice?"  Betsy said "Yes" and reminded Corrie that the guards would not come into the barracks because of the bugs.  This allowed them to be able to study from the Bible they had snuck in. I kept telling myself be thankful for the lice.

Lice

Yep, we have it.  It has been going around the school for months and we finally have it.  FYI, Tea Tree shampoo doesn't prevent it.  Anyway, one of my friends has helped me go through the girls hair.  She asked that I put this lifecycle on my blog to inform people.  I am happy to do it since she has been a lifesaver. 

 Lice is a pain!! (especially when you are pregnant)

I Have a Question

So, if you use baking soda boxes in your fridge it absorbs odors.  Do you think if you just put them around your house they would absorb odors too?  I am just wondering...my nose is very sensitive right now.
