Our bodies can do amazing things and we are fearfully and wonderfully made. After walking 7 miles yesterday with a good friend, I was reminded of just how wonderful it is to have a body that is capable of doing what I want it to do on command (well almost all that I want it to do, I really don't think I could do the splits even if I wanted to:).
Having a capable healthy body is a gift as I was reminded on Sunday. Emrie dropped a small chalkboard on my toe which left a small cut. It was amazing how such a small thing affected my whole body. I limped for about 30 minutes after it happened because it stung so badly. Think about a hang nail or paper cut or cold sore. Those are all so small and yet don't they just RUIN your day!
We take for granted how well our bodies function on all the days it works just fine, but on those days when one or more things go wrong we are reminded just how blessed we are most of the time.
God made our bodies so magnificently. I pray I use it to His glory!
