Decisions, Decisions

We recently went through a terrible sickness. Everyone was lying on the couch sick, with diarrhea, fevers and vomiting , well, everyone but Gideon.

Mom was busily caring for her brood and Gideon walked up to her and said, "Mom, can I have a drink of water from one of these cups?"

"No Gideon, if you drink after your brothers, you will get sick."

Gideon looked at the living room full of sick boys snuggling under blankets, eating popsicles, and playing computer games. Then he looked down at the cup in his hand...

Six hours later, Gideon was throwing up with the rest of them.

I could see the draw to popcicles and snuggling up under blankies. Maybe not enough to get the flu-but it is tempting.
Praying you all will feel better soon.
