Oh thumb!
If you read my preggo blog, you know I got a pinched nerve last week. I was unable to move my arm for one day, hand for two and it took about a week for my thumb to return to normal. It actually still isn't 100% yet!:/
Anyhow not using my thumb was a nightmare. Who would have ever thought something so small could be so useful!
It quickly reminded me of the scripture of how God places us in the body as it pleases him! Sometimes we don't think we play an instrumental role. Or perhaps we don't value someone's role in the kingdom, but God forbid we lost them we would certainly see/feel the effects of that!
We all have a part to play, no matter how large or small. It never occurred to me how useful my thumb was till I pinched my nerve...now that's its on the mend I truly covet it!
Are there people you take for granted in your church and ministry? Don't let loosing them be the only way you learn to appreciate them!
Wow, you are the second person that I visited today that had a pinched nerve. I'm so glad to hear that you're recovering and your thumb is almost back to normal. It's so true that sometimes we take the small things for granted. When I'm praying, I'm always thanking God for the big things. You know my family, a roof over my head, my life, health and strength, food to eat, being in my right mind, but sometimes we forget the smaller blessings and the smaller blessings are beautiful blessings, too. Thanks for the reminder because it's so easy to take the little things for granted.

Hey there! Welcome to my blog!!
DeleteWhat a coincidence with the pinched nerve! Lol
Mine still feels sore, but compared to immobility... I'll take a little soreness thanks. Haha
