Disinfect

..... the flu bug has wreaked it's havoc among the Brewcrew...

it has traveled from Joe to BayLeigh last week... then to Ollie on Monday, Charley on Tuesday and Emery on Wednesday... and it's Thursday.... I'm holding strong still!!!

I am a momma armed with some disinfectant, scrubbing wipes, and constant hand washing.

The flu in a way reminds me of SIN...

The flu or sin, left unchecked... can wreak havoc in your life. Effecting not only YOU, but your friends and family. It spreads like a wildfire hurting everyone in it's path.

It is up to us to disinfect, wash hands, and take all precautions to prevent it from happening to us! We're not all perfect and not all precautions can keep the flu bug away, but we can try to stop it's spread the best way we possibly can.

Like a simple wound- we need to clean, disinfect, and prevent infection or spreading.

When we sin- we have done wrong, we need to get our life cleaned up right away. We need to repent (disinfect) and turn away from our sin, focus on God and healing, protect yourself by getting in God's word and in relationship with Him. Otherwise, our sin will spread and infect our whole body, our group of friends, our family.

The flu/sins happens to all of us! We are NOT perfect... and no matter what we do sometimes that thought... that bug... gets to us. The only thing we can do is our part at preventing the spread... turn away and repent! Because He is a loving God full of mercy and grace.

In 1 John 1:9 it says

But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us of all wickedness.

Needless to say we are doing a LOT of disinfecting in the Brewer house...

Last years Christmas was spent with Joe deployed, myself VERY pregnant, and the three girls and I super duper sick with the flu bug... that will NOT be happening this year! Hope you all are fairing better then we are and stay away until the bugs leave our home :) Merry Christmas all!!! 3 days left!
