An app for that...

These days, I am truly wondering if it will ever end.  Maybe the more pertinent question is,

"When will it end?"

We have had sickness after sickness after sickness this fall and winter.  The kids pass it around, and the parents get it too.  And the more kids there are, the longer it takes to get rid of it, I'm realizing.

We have never had a stomach bug in the family since the kids were born (or maybe even before?).  So we made it nearly 7 years without suffering through that.  But I always knew that it would come to visit us eventually.

And it has.

This morning, as I was lamenting the start of another bout with illness, that iPhone commercial was stuck in my head.  You know, the one that says, "There's an app for that," over and over again.

Then it struck me that I needed to change a word or two and it could become a much more meaningful phrase to have stuck in my head.

"There's grace for that."

Yep, grace for that.  Grace for this.  Grace for every problem, situation, trouble, trial that comes our way.

God gives us grace for whatever we face, just when we need it and not before or after.

So I will praise Him in this storm.
