Cayden was sick this weekend. It’s never fun to be sick, especially on the weekend. But there are some benefits of being sick.

First, you get to cuddle with dad.

Second, you get to be waited on hand and foot.

Third, you get to catch up on the old episodes of Mythbusters.

Oddly enough, this formula along with plenty of liquids is the sure-fire way to healing.

I meet monthly with some other pastors and the topic of ‘getting out of a spiritual rut’ came up. I got to thinking, this formula would work with this kind of sickness as well. It’s never fun to be drained or sick spiritually but if handled correctly it can be a place of great healing and comfort.

First, cuddle up with Dad. Get alone, get silent. Don’t ask for anything, just sit in His presence.

Second, let Him wait on your soul. Psalms, songs, prayers of others.

Third, catch up on the old episodes of Mythbusters. Those wonderful stories of how God proved His faithfulness over and over again.

I’m learning so much about following the Lord through my kids.
