Nelson’s fevers are making him feel weak, but if the meds causing the fevers are working, then he’s all for them.

I have a fever almost every day. I wonder if it will continue for months and months like this while I take these meds. I wrote a blog about it last night and the general consensus was that it was powerful. It was nice to hear the affirmation.
Linni [sister] even said I’m a good writer. I’m happy if it can benefit someone. These days are slow and hard. They make you into a man, that’s for sure. It’s hard. Simple but hard.
Not a lot to do or that I could even do if I had it to do. I work on securing our house, which is like a part time job with all the issues from the bank to verify everything. I’m thankful for the chance to own a house, even though we’re not there yet.
“Lord, with your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors; you crushed the peoples and made our ancestors flourish. It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for Jacob. Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever.” (Psalm 44:2-8)
I remember you, Lord, that you have done all the good things in my life and very little (if anything) I’ve done has amounted to much. I do a little of the following, but most of the time, I don’t even know where I’m going until I end up there and the whole plan unfolds and it becomes more obvious. And those are the really awesome ones.
You do more than all I ask or imagine, just like it says in Ephesians 3:20. I’m thankful for not having a fever right this minute, even though it could come on at anytime. I’m thankful for all the prayer for us and for Mom’s blog to put it out there.
Thank you for the writing skill you gave me to put my thoughts on paper like I can do. I’m grateful that I have Annso and Will sleeping in the other room and that you have given us this little family. Thank you for the love she has for me and how devoted she is.
I’m thankful that we seem to be getting the house and that we are able to remove the roadblocks they are putting up one by one. I pray for the continued ability to do that.
Thank you for your hand that’s so visible in everything from the places we live to the tenants in our house, to Annso’s parents being here and Mom coming when they are not. Thank you that we have almost always had someone here to help us without a break hardly at all.
I’m grateful Ken is close by and that so many people came to visit and show their love. I’m thankful that mostly that’s over now, and no one comes to visit, because it’s so taxing on me when people expect me to tell stories and share for hours.
