If you have been in bed for months, sicker than you've ever been in your life, then suddenly thousands of people from around the world pray for you and you start feeling better... where would you go?
Of course, you would dress up like a cow so you could get a free chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-A on Cow Appreciation Day.
Never mind that your son-in-law owns a Chick-fil-A and could send you a coupon for a free biscuit any day of the week.
No, I'm convinced that it wasn't about the free biscuit at all. It was the lure of going into public dressed as a cow that finally prompted my Mom to get out of the sick bed.
We are a family of crazies.
Every single one of us. And my sister Sarah (on the left) was just daring enough to send me this little treasure of a photo. It will tickle my Mom (center) and horrify my college-aged sister, Emmie (right). Like I could resist posting it on my blog.
Which will of course cause a great flurry of phone calls from Southern accented women to come my way today. But I won't be here to get said phone calls.
I'm going to get my hair cut and then I'm going to go get some free Chick-fil-A from my husband's store dressed in clothing that is not so "udderly" ridiculous.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Anyhow, the real point of this post is to Praise God for what He has done in helping my Mom. And to thank you for the prayers you posted on my blog and kept praying. You have no idea what an impact you made on my Mom not just physically but spiritually as well.
I knew she was feeling better when she called me from her cell phone giggling like a school girl saying, "Honey, we're all dressed like cows goin' to get us some chicken."
It will still be a long road to recovery for my Mom. Though a definitive diagnosis is still alluding us, they think she may have an advanced and severe case of Lyme Disease. So, please keep praying.
On another note, here at the home front we are knee deep in craft projects. Brooke is very excited for me to display her wares on the blog on Monday.
She wants to do a give away. I won't go into her whole marketing strategy behind this give away because she is starting to sound like an economics professor.
One that has a nine year old's voice and intersperses her lectures with popping bubble gum and teenie bopper songs, but a professor none the less.
