Pause. Praise. Pause. Reflect. Praise. Count your blessings.

This morning, the fatigue and weakness from my latest health battle is hitting hard. The medication worsens it. I am eager to be completed with the meds. Yet, there is so much to be thankful for today:

1. My work is supportive as I fight this battle.
2. The medication seems to be working! Healing is happening! God-willing, the fatigue should dissipate.
3. My deductible is met for the year. And, I set a new record even for me having it met by the 10th of the year.
4. By God’s grace, I am learning to navigate the new health challenges.
5. God answered a very specific prayer of mine this week for wisdom.
6. God is in control and provides no matter what. I am reading through the Bible this year, already behind, but working to catch up, and am seeing how God’s hand was in events even when the people could not see Him working. I also see how the giants of the faith in Genesis were much more aware of all that God does and how He is in control!
7. God is a just God, but loves us and provided a way for us to come to Him through Jesus.

There are so many blessings even when things are hard. God is good!

Pause. Reflect. What are you thankful for today?
