What a day. Suzanne took the day off because Ryan's grandma passed away on Sunday and she needed to spend time with family. I totally support that. Sue left early because she wasn't feeling well and didn't want to share germs with the office. I totally support that too. I had an appointment to donate blood today at 2:30 at a blood drive near my office. Everything went great until the very end when I started to feel a little woozy. A little woozy turned into passing out while still on the donation bed. I finally got back to the office; Stacy looked at me and asked if I felt okay – I didn't. I lay down on our couch downstairs for an hour then asked Spencer to come pick me up. I threw up on the drive home, then slept for three hours on the couch in the living room. On the bright side, I got quite a bit of snuggle time with Hazel!
Mark shared a good insight in an email the other day. Jesus pays the price of our sins. He then "sets the terms" for our living, not because he wants us to repay him, but because he wants to change us. The thought occurred to me that this is the same with earthly parents. We don't keep track of the cost of raising kids and expect them to pay us back, and we don't view this as some sort of investment with a hoped-for return. No, we seek to raise our children in love and righteousness, hoping that they will become men and women of Christ, firm in the faith and valiant in their service to God and others.
More later…
