We leave for Canada in 12 days, and today it is official: I have a sinus infection. So, I have called the doctor to see what I can do. Best case scenario: He will call in a prescription for something, it will have plenty of time to work, and I will be feeling GREAT by the time I get on the plane. Another scenario: He will insist on seeing me, even though I have this kind of infection repeatedly. But he will see me, give me a prescription for something, and then it will have plenty of time to work, and I will still be feeling GREAT by the time I get on the plane. Worst case scenario: I beg somebody to shoot me and put me out of my misery, and I don’t have to worry about getting on the plane. OK, OK – I’m just kidding, mostly.
Our bodies really and truly are amazing things. Even when I am sick, look at all of the things that keep doing what they are supposed to be doing: my heart keeps pumping, my lungs keep filling up and expelling air, my blood keeps circulating, my eyes keep blinking…the list goes on and on and on.
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:13-14, NIV)
I am one of HIS works. I remember seeing a bumper sticker once that read, “God doesn’t make junk!” He made me, so therefore, I can’t be junk! Even on the days I sort of feel like something to be put out with the trash. Thank You, LORD!
