Feeling sick

Haven't been feeling well the last few days. Had a slight sore throat and a headache. Back has been aching and could hardly stand for long periods of time.

Symptoms of a cold. I've been doubling my vitamin C and water intake. With lots of ginger tea and honey. More gargles with mouthwash and salt.

Slept like a log last night. Went to bed at 8pm and only woke up at 6:15 this morning. I am much much better now. The headache's gone and so is the sore throat. A cough has develop, but only slightly and the backache's almost gone. I'll do another good sleep tonight and that should fix the body up.

When I was younger, I used to marvel at how quickly my mum recovers from her illnesses. I used to take 1-2 days to get the fever down! But, ever since I became a mum, God seemed to have performed some miracle in my body and I would feel better after a good night's sleep.

Perhaps it's God's way of saying, "Time for a break. Sleep, and you will be recharged for the next lap."

If you're a mum, you'd understand that it's a busy life. It's almost impossible to fall sick. Actually, you probably wouldn't have time to fall sick. And really, it's hard to ignore the symptoms with children running havoc in the house. A headache is so easily detected nowadays.

So, time to stop, rest, and let God heal the body. Sphere: Related Content

Circumcision

I don't have a boy. Yet. I might, someday, God willing... Just wanted to have a post on circumcision as I've had this chat with a few mother friends who have thought of it when they were pregnant with boys. None of them went ahead with circumcision, but the thought did cross their minds.

It did cross mine too. I had wondered if I had a boy, would I put him through the process of circumcision?

Did have a chat with my husband about this before I was pregnant with my first child and we decided against it. We talk about these things, which I think is important, so that both of us are on common grounds if anyone asks why.

Why not then? Because, Biblically, it isn't a must. Health wise, it isn't a definite either.

Furthermore, the procedure for circumcision can result in infection and bleeding. For a 6 month old baby who had to go through an anaesthetic just to remove the foreskin on his penis can be quite a traumatic and painful experience. However, if, for some reason, my boy decides to do it in the future when he's a grown man, I don't think I will stop him.

Have you ever thought of circumcision for your boy? Did your boy go through the procedure? Sphere: Related Content
