Today, I am grateful for times when a family member becomes ill. By "ill," I mean something like a common cold or a bad headache for a day or so, something that's only bad enough to make a person want to stay in bed for most of one or two days.
For me and my wife, today was one of those days, but things are looking better. As bad as a minor illness sometimes is, I am grateful for the opportunities they present to show extra love, to learn and demonstrate extra compassion and kindness. It's often the little challenges (and most big ones, to be sure), that give families a chance to come closer together.
