Afflictions serve most effectually to convince us of the vanity of all that this world can afford, to remind us that this is not our rest and to stir up desires and hopes for our everlasting home. They produce in us a spirit of sympathy towards our companions in tribulation. They give occasion for the exercise of patience, meekness, submission, and resignation. Were it not for the wholesome and necessary discipline of affliction, these excellent virtues would lie dormant. Afflictions serve to convince us more deeply of our own weakness and insufficiency, and to endear the person, the grace, the promises, and the salvation of our Redeemer, more and more to our hearts. Thus we are taught to esteem His very chastisements as precious on account of the benefits we derive from them.

I'm glad your son has asked for help as theis could very well lead to something more serious.  I never thought about becoming addicted to cough syrup.  Would this be more of an alcohol addiction I wonder?  Still, people should take this seriously.  I can't imagine why someone would just make something like this up so why not help him.  Have you called AA to see?  

Marci had a new posting on her caring bridge but I don't know the exact alternative treatments she is having.  I can't imagine how hard this is on her as she is such a doer and get it done kind of gal!  We have to continue to pray.

In Him,

Patricia
