sooo, this past weekend i had NOOO responsibilities at the church…first time in months…and it was great!!!
sunday morning came and i got to sleep in…i didn’t get up until the time that i would normally be leaving the house for church…and extra hour and a half than normal…and molly slept in too!!!
when molly woke up she had one crazy bark and a fever…sooo daddy stayed home with molly all day and night…i didn’t go to our journey community or anything…she was CRANKY and took a lot more attention than normal…but she did want to cuddle and be held a lot more than normal…which was nice!!!
yesterday…molly was still sick and fevered…i went in to work early and got things around in the office, so that i could go back home and stay with her…and i did just that…i headed back home and hung out with molly all day…again…(not to mention i got my final week of homework done, did a little laundry, exercised, and got dinner ready during her nap)…
but something has really hit me this morning…molly has been CRANKY…no doubt about that…she doesn’t feel good, so who can blame her…she’s also taking a lot more time, energy, and patience to care for…i had to wipe snot every two minutes and put up with the kicking and screaming each time i did…i had to constantly put up with short lived tantrums and crying…i had to follow here and see what she was going to be throwing next, and hope it wouldn’t break(she does have a good arm)!!!
but…
i didn’t think twice!!!
i was more than willing to stay home and care for my little girl!!!
God is the same way…He seems to care for His children when no one else would want to…it doesn’t matter how sick we are…it doesn’t matter how cranky we are…He is always ready to pick us up and hold us…His love is unconditional…and you know what…
He doesn’t think twice!!!
Praying for Molly!
You are a good dad Jon. Keep it up!
