one thankful momma who lives in the USA, can send her children to the doctor (even on a Sunday), can buy the necessary food and medical supplies, and rest in the fact that we still live in a country where this is all possible.
Thank you, Jesus. Your grace on our country is evident.

GIRL-- I feel your pain!!! But this was a great post!!! I love how you broke it down...and are still thankful at the end. Good reminder for all of us mommas with sick kiddos!
That stinks that everyone is sick. Hope they feel better soon.
SOOO true! Kids around the world die with such treatable illnesses simply because of poor health care. It is SO sad!
Hope your boys feel better SOON!
