We're now into Day Three of Lincoln's fever. We thought it was on its way out yesterday when it was less than 100 with no meds, but this morning he was 103.5, so we know we've got a bit more time with it. He's definitely short on patience and stamina, but he's been a good little boy. This morning he took a 2 hour nap and then played on the floor for about 40 minutes. Good stuff! He'll make it through this, and hopefully the sick days will be left behind for Christmas.
Jenn's hosting shower for friends from church tomorrow who are adopting a little boy from Ethiopia. They're going to get him shortly, and they have to stay in the country for a week or so, which means they'll be spending Christmas in Ethiopia!
It's almost like a little analogy of Jesus. For a long time the world waited for the baby and went through ordeal after ordeal, and on Christmas He came. And for the friends of ours, they've been waiting for a long time, and certainly been through lots of ordeals (endless paperwork, delayed court appointments, phone calls, etc.), and on Christmas, he'll be theirs. Let this message be not lost on us.
