You betcha! Whenever I am tempted to feel sorry for myself, I think of what our dear Monkey Face has to contend with every day just to function. The Velveteen Rabbit is alive and well :-) Thank God His mercies are new every morning and His faithfulness is as the dew. Oh, how I need Him just to breathe.

I thought I was the only one who read the Velveteen Rabbit!
Since I have had over 25 years to learn to deal with what I have, I think I’ve finally managed. There is no way I can ‘splain how angry I was when I realized the limitations I was faced with for the first time in my life.
Now, I realize God had a reason for allowing me to have such an insidious disease, and it wasn’t for me to have a constant pity party. There are many people who, while not having CFIDS, have still found themselves with health problems that I have helped them deal with, in one way or another. Some just need someone to talk to. So I do what Heavenly Father wants me to do. Simple!
CFIDS has given me more courage than I ever thought I would have.
