'...that you may be in good health...' (3 John 1:2)
After last year, when family members where in A & E with pancreatitis, bronchitis and a chopped finger, I have started to appreciate the blessing that good health is.
Even then, I don't think I appreciated it enough until I found myself at the doctor's with low iron levels. (Yeah, I know that's lame in comparison to what the others went through, but I hadn't had health problems for years.)
Why is it we don't appreciate things until we lose them?
The fact we are alive is a blessing enough. The fact many of us can get out of bed, look after ourselves, and not fear a death that may come sooner than we hoped is a sign that God gives us SO much more than we deserve.
May I be thankful for my health.
And next time I have a cold, may I be grateful it's not something worse and stop being such a drip!
(Sorry. That was a poor pun. But I couldn't resist!)
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled across your blog via the Google Friend Connect thingy...I had no idea you blogged. Nice to read your posts, and yes! What a blessing good health is!
Take care,
Elspeth

Hey Elspbeth, I meant to tell you I was blogging too! :)
DeleteThanks for reading, hope you and your family are ok x x x x
p.s. How's the revision going? ;)
Ugh. SO glad to get the horrible TMA 06 out the way, and feeling a little better about the mountain of revision awaiting me! Our day school is this Saturday, so hopefully that'll be good.
ReplyDeleteAnd you?

Mmm, that was a hard one! Though I think the worst had to be TMA 02, Oronoko and Candide :S
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm not too worried about the revision actually (even though and haven't started, and even though I haven't had to revise for anything for two years!). Nor sure if that's good or bad. Once I have my last Lang TMA in, I'll have to get on with it!
Looking forward to seeing you in the summer when it's all behind us!
