Baby C. is still sick. He woke up at 4:30, whimpering, he was trying to go back to sleep on his own but I went upstairs and got him. He was hot so I gave him a drink of water and some infant tylenol and put him back to bed, which he submitted to without any protest. I hardly went back to sleep after that, I was thinking about the rain and hoping I didn’t leave my “Country Living” magazine outside in it. (I didn’t)
Rich has to work late tonight so I don’t know how I’m going to get to church w/the sick baby. Maybe I can come but keep him with me. We’ll see.
I just read this quote this morning about Love:
“True love is not manifested by indifference,
but by a mature possessiveness,
and intense concern for the one we love.”
It made me think: when I know for a fact that someone I love is having a difficult time, do I stand by and say/do nothing? Okay, so I AM praying for that person. . . but, do they KNOW I am praying for them? Or do they assume that I am “indifferent”. When someone we love is physically, emotionally, or spiritually sick and struggling, we should all be rushing around that person in love. Our first reaction should NOT be for solutions, but for LOVE, CARE, and INTENSE CONCERN.
Enjoy your day today! Love, Purple
Good to be Home 
Poor baby Caleb. I hope he feels better soon. Don’t push yourself to come to church if it’s going to be too much.The quote about love is great. I was never sure how to react to someone who was hurting until I experienced an intense hurt myself. It was so eye-opening to realize that what I wanted from people was what I myself had not been giving someone else when they were in a similar state. I hope that I can be a better mate, family member, friend and person now that I know what it feels like to be on the other side.
