My little four-year-old, Raylea, and myself have been fighting the stomach bug for the past two days. Every time I'm sick I remind myself of how much I take my health for granted.
There are many people who stay sick all the time due to certain illnesses that can't be fixed. I can't imagine feeling bad all the time. A lady at our church always ask everyone to pray for her niece. She was born with leukemia and she just had her second birthday. That makes her the only baby in the world to ever make it past their second birthday who was born with leukemia. I can't imagine not only with those parents go through every day, but that little girl. She isn't old enough to even understand that she is sick. She has only ever felt sick. She doesn't know what it's like to just feel good.
I don't have much energy to write today, but I just wanted us to be reminded today that very likely somebody out there has it worse than we do. As bad as me and my little girl feel right now, we know that we're going to feel better in a day or two. That little baby with leukemia does not have the same promise.
Take time to thank God for your health. For it could be taken away tomorrow, or next year, or in 30 years. Don't take your health for granted. Have a blessed weekend.
