Under the Weather
Most of us feel under the weather from time to time. We are sick or don’t feel well.
A few people suffer depression when they don’t receive enough sunlight. Bad weather does not usually make us sick. Yet, we may get tired of it before it is over. Of course, some people love it and are sad when it goes.
Whether we like bad weather or not, we can feel under the weather. Viruses, headaches, stomachaches, colds, and other illnesses occur in all kinds of weather. Most problems don’t last long.
During serious illness, we need one another’s help.
Our family has received amazing support during major health problems.
- Cards, phone calls, and other messages
- Meals and snacks for weeks
- Gifts
- Prayers for and with us
- Short hospital and home visits
- Help with chores
Although we loved the help, we loved the kind hearts more. Those dear people bent over backwards for us. Friends in all kinds of weather make feeling under the weather less painful.
Thank you one and all.
“I was sick and you looked after me” (Matthew 25:36 NIV).
