Upon moving to Texas I quickly learned to be careful of my use of the word ill, which yes by definition does mean sick. However, in AL when we say ill we mean in a bad mood and when we are sick we just say sick. So, I do not use the word ill very often in order to lessen the confusion! However, today I can say my family is ILL and I mean not in a good mood and sick! Our AC went out yesterday and it is summer in Texas and it is HOT and the repairman can't come until tomorrow and it is HOT and poor Ell has a stomach virus and it is too HOT to be throwing up and have a headache and it is too HOT to clean up after her and it is too HOT to sleep and it is too HOT to cook and it is too HOT to clean and it is too HOT to take a bath and it is too HOT to go outside especially when there is no place to come in to cool off and it is too HOT to do anything!!! I feel bad complaining because there are others, especially in other countries who never have AC but when you are accustomed to having it, man it is HOT!!! What is it about being hot that makes everyone ill (as in cranky!) I mean I turn into a very mean person!!! I think A really wants to laugh at me but he knows it would not be a good idea. Last night when I went to bed I said, "you just sleep in the couch so we don't have to deal with body heat". HA! Oh it is HOT!!!

I am so sorry! I can only imagine how miserable that is!!! I have prayed for y'all today and will continue to do so! Let me know if there's anything else we can do!
I know it's not physical relief, but maybe this verse can comfort your heart:
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever...The nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all Thy works."
Psalm 73:26,28
Know He is near and knows your circumstances and will comfort your heart as you persevere! I have prayed this over you and your family as well as healing for Ell, protection from the virus for the rest of you and for a swift end to your a/c problem. Maybe it will rain! :)
I love y'all,
Shannon
I think I was just more confused by "ill" because I heard "eel".
Glad to see that Aaron got your AC fixed. It sounds like it was miserable there for a while.
