Psalm 46:10 says to simply Be Still. Be still and know that he is our God.

From todays devotional: when life feels out of control, we are tempted to keep ourselves busy to distract us from the things we are facing; instead we should quiet ourselves, be still in his presence and experience a peace only the Lord can give us.

Thankful to be loved by the one who can bring peace to us in any given moment with just a single breath.

Grove Family Care has been preparing for Christmas for a couple of weeks now! Our little patients have been decorating these ornaments during their appointments and bringing life to the clinic. We are so grateful for each child who walks through our doors and strive to make them as comfortable as possible. We want them to leave the doctors office with good memories.

Comment below if you see your child’s masterpiece! 🎄

Good Morning Everyone!

We are open today, and have several openings if you need to get in. Please be careful this morning and give yourself plenty of time if you have an appointment. We will be praying for safe travels for anyone who needs to get out in this weather.

Please join us in extending a Happy Nurse Practitioner Week to our very own!!

Driven with knowledge, compassion, and faith, we believe they are the very best at advocating for your health!!! Their dedication to our patients goes far beyond the allotted time on the schedule for each appointment. Taking time to "know" their patients is very important to them, so they can better serve each individual's needs. Behind the scenes, they are leading the clinic in prayer each morning, asking for God's guidance and to provide them with skill and knowledge throughout the day.

We feel blessed to worked alongside these wonderful ladies and we'd love to hear what a blessing they've been to you....

~~~~The staff of GFC ❤️

💧 Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease (HFMD)

What it is:
A common viral illness that mostly affects young children — but anyone can get it.

Caused by:
Coxsackievirus (a type of enterovirus).

Symptoms:
Fever and sore throat
Small blisters or sores in the mouth
Rash or bumps on hands, feet, or diaper area
Decreased appetite or irritability

How it spreads:
Through saliva, nasal mucus, stool, or fluid from blisters — often in childcare settings.

Prevention tips:
🧼 Wash hands often (especially after diaper changes)
🚫 Avoid sharing cups or utensils
🧽 Disinfect toys and surfaces
🏠 Keep children home until fever and open sores are gone

Good news:
Most cases are mild and recover in 7–10 days. Keep kids comfortable, hydrated, and rested.
