1 Kings Chapter 19 - Elijah flees to Horeb. Elijah is a prophet that has rubbed Jezebel wrong and had to flee for his life. The Lord didn't throw down fire and brimstone to kill those that would hurt Elijah, he merely watched over him and sent angels with food. God doesn't have to make a big scene for us to know He is there. Loved doing this story with kids for VBS last summer.
On this day;
1992 - Nicole and I were supposed to go somewhere with Chris or maybe just to work at Quality, But as it happens, Nicole was sick with a sore throat so we cancelled, stayed home and played Animal Bingo and Triominoes. Later that day Mark came home sick with a sore throat also. Who hasn't had that happen, especially this time of year.
1937 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt became the first U.S. President to be inaugurated on January 20th. The 20th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution officially set the date for the swearing in of the President and Vice President. Not very interesting like the State of the Union tonight, I'm thinking.
Parenting - I've been seeing on Facebook a lot of the young mothers going through what we have all been faced with. Sick kids, keeping you up at night, keeping you home from work, missing time from school and cancelling plans. It is inevitable. I decided to make the most of the day, as I have seen some do and put those kids movies on, bring out the board games, stock up on chicken noodle soup and popsicles and make the best of the day. Down time. AND then your husband comes home. Achoooooo!
