Held Captive

Looking outside my windows, all I see is a cloud of yellow dust and clumps of fresh off the tree pollen buds covering the yard like a thick blanket. This, to me, is like a

scene out of a horror film.

I feel like a prisoner being held captive inside. If I dare to venture out, misery and woe will overtake me. It is SO beautiful outside this time of year and all I want to do is go out and work in the yard, plant some flowers, or go to the beach. However, this would result in hours of pain and suffering for me.

Usually, recess is one of my favorite parts of the day, but now it is the most dreaded part. I know that spending those few minutes on the playground are going to make me miserable for the rest of the day. I might as well be this chick.

I'm so blessed to have David with me. I know he wants to go outside and do things, but he stays inside with me. He goes to the store and searches for Kleenex with lotion and then deals with my not so flattering use of them. He tells me I am beautiful when my face is puffy and my eyes and nose are red. I couldn't ask for more.

Praise the Lord, Oh my soul, and forget not all His benefits-who forgives all your sin, and heals all you diseases Psalms 103:2-3
