Illness and God's plan

I am glad that my blog is letting me put capital letters! (It didn't want to capitalize for me one other time when typing from my phone) Anyway, for two weeks we had it rough around here. My grandpa passed away the one week and Reagan and Macy were sick as well. RaeAnn had a cough that week too. Well, on the day of the funeral for my grandpa, I took Reagan to the doctor for possible dehydration. They admitted her to the hospital then. We found out she had pneumonia then. She only had to be there til Sunday, thankfully. She had not wanted to eat or drink much for that week. She scared me, and I was praying hard for her. It has been such a blessing to hear her little laugh again, and see her beautiful smiles! Macy and RaeAnn, however, where still sicky on Sunday. I took them to the doctor and found out that RaeAnn had strep throat and Macy had an ear infection. Whew! Morgan, thankfully, did not catch anything. How I do not know, because even Daddy and Mommy have had the colds and or flu too! I feel that our little family has been through a lot in two weeks! I know that I do not understand why fully. I am wondering if God wanted me to appreciate the girls more? Not taking any moments for granted? Life is so short. I know God has a plan and purpose in everything! . I am thankful for the girls, and I am praying about some personal things right now. I want to do as I should for my little ones. I am so thankful for God planning for Andy and I to have these girls. Sometimes I wonder if I can handle 4 kids. A lot of times I don't think I can train them right. I try. I am so glad our family is doing better! I pray that I can be the mother I need to be for them. I hope for them to be good Christians as adults. I am hoping that we are done with sickness, at least for a little while. In the mean time, I will be thankful for good health!
