Colds are no fun at all. For some reason, they seem worse in the summer. With the heat and humidity, the last thing you want is a bog up your sinuses. Also, hot chicken soup is not as appetizing as it is in the winter. I'm not sick but my daughter is. Thankfully, this seems to be a relatively mild cold. She also has had a very good attitude about being sick. Prior to believing in the sovereignty of God, I would be resisting any illness with the thought that God could not possibly want us to be sick. Now it's much more restful believing that God is sovereign over viruses, bacteria, immune systems, etc. and that He ordains even when we catch the common cold.
