The Altrogge's have returned from their vacation from the blogworld. Unfortunately, Stephen got a cold. Following that was Charis' cold, and mine as well. Illness can never strike just one family member. All must be miserable together:) We are on the mend though, slowly but surely. While she was sick, poor Charis also had to get her first shots (notice the neon bandages on her legs). We are grateful to God that we were all well enough to spend Thanksgiving with our families.
As sad as it was to see one so helpless cough, sneeze and have problems breathing, I am amazed that a cold is the worst she has experienced. I am grateful the Lord has spared her from harm and blessed her with good health. These things are not to be taken for granted. Seeing her cold from this perspective helped me take care of her more joyfully. Our bundle of joy wasn't quite as smiley as usual, but I am happy to report the ear to ear grins are returning.

I want neon bandages...
any reason, stephen?
oh jen i'm sad you all were sick...
and poor baby charis...
yet i am grateful, like you, for all God has spared her from. and for the medical care and knowledge we have access to so she can get her shots.
when i think about being sick, i often think about what Spurgeon once said:
"Unerring wisdom ordained your lot, and selected for you the safest and best condition...
Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are,
divine love would have put you there."
so, i need to see charis before i leave wednesday. i mean, you and stephen too...ha
i have a camera for a little while so i can take even more photos...
loveyou
Beautiful quote. We'll miss you.
Hey Stephen--Christmas is coming!! Pat
