I been feeling sick this past week. Actually, it's been almost 2 weeks. And Robin has been sick for almost 3 weeks now. It's bad enough if one of us is sick, but having both of us sick at the same time has been quite challenging.
I'm not very productive when I'm sick. Partly because I can't think straight, partly due to my lack of energy and partly because I am completely unmotivated. But Robin keeps working and takes care of business no matter how sick he is. Sure, he may go to bed earlier and might not do any extra things, but our livelihood does not suffer for it.
Not only that, but our marriage has not suffered either. He still speaks kindly to me. He still helps around the house. He still loves me and encourages me. I marvel at the blessings that come even in hardship. We just discussed this topic earlier today. Maybe the blessings of life are NOT about things being 'good'. Perhaps the real blessings are wrapped up in who we are during the rough times.
As I have watched my husband deal with being sick these past weeks I am even more convinced that this is true. Thank you, Robin, for not only being a blessing in my life, but finding the blessings during a difficult time.
