One Thousand Gifts (Continued)

"I can do everything through [Christ] who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13).

God has been so good to me by giving me energy and strength this past week enabling me to take care of all my sickies. I am so thankful for my health, which I take for granted so often. I take a lot of things for granted and I need to constantly remind myself of my many blessings.

Continuing to give thanks...
