The past few days I haven't been feeling very well.... tired all the time... weakness... muscle aches... low grade fever... sore throat. I've been able to manage to go to work drugged up on tylenol and ibuprofen and finally, last night I felt great! So great that I was excited to get back to Bible Study after having a week off from MEA. Amaya and I were eating supper (Steve had grad school) and I told her we were going to Bible Study tonight... here's our conversation...
Me: "Amaya, after supper we're going to go to Bible Study."
Amaya: "No!"
Me: "Don't you want to play with your friends?"
Amaya: "I want to play with you!"
Me: "How about we play tomorrow?"
Amaya: "I haven't played with you in forever! I want a night off!"
Me: (suppressing laughter) "Okay, sweetie... we'll play tonight."
Amaya: "We can study the Bible at home too!"
And so... we took a "night off" just to play and I'm glad we did! (And we studied the Bible a little bit too!)
