30 Days of Thankfulness ~ Day 12
Today I am thankful for the good health of my family. We may have been a tired bunch of late, but healthy nonetheless. But, God has been so faithful to me, in giving me fresh strength to meet each day and abundant grace to see that I don't make a wreck of it.
How much do I take my good health for granted? I don't think much about it until I am sick or suffering. Then I wish for the healthy days.
How often do I abuse this good health by the choices I make every day? The kind of food I eat (and how much or little of it I partake of), the amount of sitting on my duff versus being active, the amount of rest compared to how I push the limit of my resources of strength and energy to keep up with my busy schedule? Too often, unfortunately. If God has blessed me with good health, then I need to honor that gift!
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
