But I am already seeing so much to be thankful for! Learning to be grateful (even for the hard things) and coming to the understanding that He has plans for me...plans for good and not for evil...and that He has allowed all things that do come to me....this has changed my outlook on life in so many ways.
Applying this concept when the nasty, hard, unfair stuff happens isn't easy...but if I can remind myself that there is a purpose in all of it....that somehow this is going to benefit me and bring glory to Him...it actually makes all of the hard times easier to bear!
So I sing the hard hallelujah for.....
#411 to #446
a broken bone - I was told that a torn ligament would have taken longer to heal...much longer!
crutches
x-rays
chairs on wheels - makes moving around so easy
arnica montana and the salve I make with it
swelling going down!
comfrey - it helps to mend broken bones!
crutches - they go where wheels can't go
boot that hold bones firm
doctors who care
people who pray
more time with Him
friends in far countries who call just to chat!
pockets of air that keep feet from moving
children who have become care givers
friends who call and pray
my church family - truly family to me
catching up on sitting-down projects
medicine that eases pain
mama having no a-fib moments for over a month!
sons that can drive
amazing gifts that arrive in the mail
meals cooked by mama
my pink chaise - always loved but now so necessary....and comfortable!
children who pray
more time for Torah
that I don't have to miss church
my elders
ace bandages
parking for the disabled
milk thistle helping the liver survive the medicines
stevia
round bales of hay brought by a friend
men at church willing to give counsel on big decisions
sons with tender hearts
Won't you join me as I worship the King with gratitude...your life will change and perhaps you will find, as I do, that He is your source, He is your provider...He never fails...He never forsakes....
He leaves me breathless....
He leaves me breathless....

I wrote a comment and my computer turned off so I am not sure if it posted :( Anyhow, I wrote that I was hoping you feel better. I found your blog through the Holy Experience link. I love it that you use natural remedies to help you in the healing process. Hope your foot gets better soon.
