When I woke up this morning, I thought Katie should be through the worst of it, for this week. However, she told me three times this morning she felt like she was going to throw-up. I wasn't expecting that today. We made it through the morning, and her tummy seems better. Conner's swim lessons are going sooo much better now. Today he actually told me he wanted go, he didn't cry at all, and he smiled a lot more through out the lesson. Whew! I am glad!
"When the ear heard me, then it blessed me." (Job 29:11) "A listening ear goes far in alleviating pain, lessening sorrow, cheering up a sad countenance. Indeed, as Voltaire opined, 'The ear is the road to the heart.'"
President Gordon B. Hinckley said, "There are boys and girls who flounder and drift and waste their lives for want of someone interested in them to counsel and reassure and comfort and direct them.
"Nursing homes are filled with the aged and the infirm who cry out for a listening ear and a comforting word. There are so many who are lonely and afraid for whom a little companionship would mean so very, very much. There are the sick and dying who live in pain and fear for whom the holding of a hand and a few quiet words could make all the difference in the world." (Church News, Week of June 10, 2012, 16).
Glad her tummy got feeling better and that Conner is adjusting to swim lessons. Loved the quotes you wrote here...
