As I posted today on Facebook, I need to refocus my trust in God to provide what we truly need, so I think it is time to start up some thankful posting.
Today, I am thankful for science and medicine. After feeling pretty rotten last night, I was able to take some medicine to ease my discomfort. This is not readily available in every place in our world, so I am extremely grateful.
As I have become healthier, I have completely overhauled how, where, and when I eat. I strayed from that plan yesterday afternoon, eating chicken nuggets and fries from Chick-fil-A (definitely not the best choice for an aspiring vegan), and I paid for it all afternoon and evening. The high salt content wrecked my system, and I found myself incredibly nauseous, bloated, in pain, with a headache, and in need of a bathroom for the rest of the day and night. If it were not for the over-the-counter medicines readily available to me, I would have been miserable for so very much longer.
We tend to take for granted things that others in this world have never even experienced. Especially at this time of year, I find myself so very thankful for all the comforts I have. Thank you, Lord, for the doctors, nurses, technicians, pharmacists, and research scientists that you have put in our world to aide us in becoming or remaining healthier. Thank you, medical professionals, for the work you do every day in our world. Your work is truly admirable.
