WARM MILK FOR HER, JIM BEAM FOR MOM

Maddy, 4, has been having a lot of trouble lately falling asleep. She has an overactive ‘’’magination,’’ and keeps thinking about monsters lurking in her closet and so forth.

She comes and wakes me up and I have to spray ‘’monster spray’’ into the closet, on her blinds and under her bed. The ‘’monster spray’’ is scented like Christmas spice, so it’s a nice, homey touch. But I’m still losing sleep over invisible critters she keeps thinking up.

‘’Oh, Mommy,’’ Maddy lamented. ‘’Why did God make me talk so much in my head?’’

Good question. I might have a word with Him in MY head about that.

Prayer request: Hand surgery for a friend named Rich had unexpected complications. The bone was infected and a tendon transfer didn’t work. Now his lovely wife, luckily a nurse, has to clean out and repack the icky-looking wound every day with diligence, or he literally may not be able to . . . get a grip. So it’s very serious, for a mechanic, and will be a trial for them for several months to come. We pray for successful healing for Rich. Meanwhile, his wife is battling rotator cuff pain. We pray, Lord Jesus, for a treatment for her to alleviate some of the pain and buy her several months of time so he can heal before she tends to herself. (Psalm 37:7a)
