The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. Psalm 28:7

Illness & Orange Juice

WE all have some cold virus!
Sore throat, stuffy/runny nose, fever, & cough.
A couple of the kids seem to be over the worst, while myself is feeling pretty miserable!
I should be resting or sleeping more but with 3 kids around that doesn't happen.
Funny when they felt their worst they were in bed quite a lot?
How come the mom seems to feel way worse and never gets the rest she needs?

On the positive side we have been drinking herbal teas, taking vitamins, immune system boosters, and drinking lots of freshly juiced oranges!
We juice the oranges and put it in the blender with ice cubes which turns it into a cold, creamy, frothy orange wonder!
The cold always feels good on the throat and I'm sure the vitamin C is helping too.
We are drinking this several times a day and none of us has had any side effects from drinking so much.

This morning I drank super hot herbal tea and followed it with super cold orange juice and my throat felt better.
I know that hot/cold treatments are good externally so I'm trying it on my throat internally!

Praying that we all get better!
