Last night, I began to feel nauseous and have acid reflux, when suddenly, I realized that I had forgotten to take my both my nausea and reflux meds at lunch. Though I was able to squeeze in the missed dose, I didn't feel well last night and this morning my throat is sore and I am tired. It will take me awhile to recover from this error.
While I'm recovering, I've been thinking how this situation is like life. We get used to something, or someone, making our life easier or more comfortable for us and then take them for granted. I had forgotten how much I needed this medication and had become careless. Now I'm paying the price.
I've been asking myself if I am taking all the kind things my husband is doing for me for granted. It is so easy to expect someone to always be there and providing loving support. I think of times when I've forgotten to give thanks for all the Lord is doing for me. Often, I haven't even noticed the help He is giving me until He finally withdraws His help.
Today is a time to heal both my body and my spirit. It is time to appreciate all the good I have in my life. It is time to be grateful and remember-- without needing a reminder.
