Health

Apparently this is something I have taken for granted.  Being a physical therapist, I don't take being injury free for granted.  But my health...I have always been fairly healthy.  A few colds here and there, bronchitis every couple of years but nothing major.  Until recently.  I feel my health has been fragile for weeks and it is wearing me down.  Not to mention the ear infections, colds and random hives I have been watching my kids go through.  My poor husband has been a saint dealing with me and my house that gets buried under stuff more and more each day b/c I just haven't had the energy to keep up with it.
But I am not here to whine.  I know others are having health issues.  (Update on my boss' wife: she made it home for Thanksgiving with an IV line in, I think she is doing better so that is good news.)
I know some of you are also sick as well as your kids and the weather is crummy and Christmas is coming with all it's craziness...so I think this week, my prayer focus is going to be health.  Health for all of us.  Hopefully those of us that are sick will get over it and be healthy for Christmas and those that aren't sick will stay that way.  When I finally start feeling better, I am going to be much more appreciative of being healthy, that's for sure.
If you have any specific prayer requests, for health or otherwise, please let me know.

Hi Kristin... thank you for being willing to pray.

Would you please pray for my brother Joel? He has a detached retina and has surgery scheduled tomorrow at 6pm. I would love if you could pray that through all these trials, his faith would grow and that he would know God's love to a greater degree and walk in obedience because of it.

Thank you...

I hope and pray you are feeling better soon :)

Health is something we sooooo easily take for granted until we don't feel all that great.

Remember to give yourself a break - you have had shingles!! It does take time to heal from that and can cover a whole gamut of symptoms.

So you take care - hopefully you can rest during the trip?? One can dream.

Hi Lanie... will be praying for your brother - the eyes are something else that are easily taken care of. My Mom has gone through many eye surgeries and no matter how "routine" it is. Still nerve wracking.

Take care Kristin!
