5:16 Club, Day 12 - Now I Understand

I'm obviously fighting a virus. Yesterday's headache sent me right back to bed and I slept most of the day. I'm still fighting it this morning, but feeling a bit better, praise the Lord. I did sleep in this morning, and my quiet time will have to wait until the children nap later today, but I was able to sneak in a quick devotional while in the bathroom. A mom's true office space.

Hebrews 3:14

"Sometimes we and our children find it easier to persevere in the lesser things of life, like a game of basketball, a hobby, or exercise. We overlook the most important perseverance of all--our perseverance of faith."

Let's persevere, in the little and big things, in illness and in health, our life and in our faith, together.

Because of Him,
