Thistles

I am having a back ache this week, so there isn't a whole lot of creativity going on here.  Bending over to sort a week's worth of wash this afternoon didn't help me any.  Back aches are a real pain!

The pretty flowers in the photo above are thistles- they are a pain too, in fact, our older boys were hired by their Grandpa to hoe thistles this summer in his fields.

Only God can take our pain and troubles and turn them into something beautiful--

For our light and momentary troubles
are achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all. 
2 Corinthians 4:17

    I'm so sorry to hear you're not feeling good. Laundry by itself is a pain, but with physical pain as well, that seems to quadruple the pain!!!! Hope you feel better soon.

      Thanks Julie! You're right, laundry is a pain!! (: I think it's my least favorite part of housework, except maybe cleaning bathrooms...
