My Oma died 14 years ago today.

My Husband went to liturgy. I had the most peaceful nap at home since I'm still recovering from the flu. The incense that I had put earlier was so fragrant and lovely. I felt for the first time that I may get better. It's been one of those well times... And I've been sick for so long in ways if you include the complex PTSD.
I've been reading some books that have been very enjoyable. I definitely still have a cold. But I was able to make dinner tonight.

God keeps giving me quotes about how our lives are exactly as best for us, so I have to trust that times of illness are part of that.

If I were to ask for anything I think it would be for inward peace and balance. But that will only come with growth towards Christ who is humility. So this is going to take a long time because the measure of which I wish to have is something that takes a lifetime.
But it's also worth it because what we want the most truly is to be like Christ. And to be with Christ. Then we will have the rest, the true rest, that we so earnestly desire.
May God help us.

here is another quotation for you:
be patient, because the weaknesses of the body are given to us in this world by God for the salvation of the soul. so they are of great merit when they are borne patiently. ~ st. francis of assisi
