Thankful Thursday

 thur

I followed a link from my WW post at Verb and read someone say that no matter how bad a day is, there is always a bright moment - and it’s only a matter of looking what that is.

I totally agree.

Last night, after jumping up and down the bed like a bouncing ball, Matt started panting. And coughing.

I wasn’t happy. Holding him, I could clearly hear the familiar wheezing again. 

Then Matt said, “Ubo ko (I’m coughing). Drink medicine, Mama.” 

How cool is that. I don’t really need to coax him to drink his medicine.

    no matter how bad a day is, there is always a bright moment. I totally agree,too. :) The lord’s will to his beloved child is gracious and good.

    How clever is Matt. I remember when in my childhood, I also had this similiar experience. :)

    That is certainly something to be thankful for! It’s never easy forcing something upon someone.

    Great Boy! I use to have to hold my daughter down to give medicine! Thanks for the quote and the reminder that sometimes in the mist of the storm we receive a ray of light.
    Happy TT!

    Oh - how neat that Matt was willing to get his medicine without you having to coax him :)
    It is true - there is always at least one bright spot during the day :)
