A very quiet day.
Snowed most of today.
Husband worked from home.
I was in bed a lot of today, really wiped out.
I don't think I have the flu, just a cold I think;
I did a video consult with an NP
who recommended more rest, etc.
"Illness compensates for our lack of labours for God"
~ Fr John Krestiankin from his book of letters, _May God give you wisdom_.
I find this comforting. God has many ways for us.
Of course this letter also speaks of prayers for the ill and for good health.
***
I am always relieved that God takes illness as a labour; surely when I am not well,
there is not much I can do other than go through it.

God bless and help us all!

Prayers for healing. I hadn’t thought of illnesses as being compensation for lack of labor but that’s a good thought. Accepting illness without complaining (you’re not, by the way) is just as good as being healthy and performing works.
You had quite a pilgrimage! I think it wore you out a bit. May God strengthen and heal you, Dear Elizabeth!
