Thankful

Today, I am thankful.  Why?  Because I feel as though I have a new lease on life.  As I start on my third week of a lower synthroid dosage I realize that it has been such a very, very long time that I've felt this good.  I didn't realize how badly I truly felt until now.  I am so amazed at the change.  I have far more energy, I've only had one migraine in the last three weeks (due to tropical storm Bonnie), I'm sleeping SOOOOO much better - sometimes all the way through the night, AND have noticed a lighter, happier side that has come out recently.  Even my husband, Scott, has noticed a difference in my countenance, personality, and energy.

In fact, I've felt so much better I've started faithfully exercising again.  Not only am I walking but I also added yoga to my exercise routine.  Both are good for helping with the osteoperosis.  In addition, both Scott and I have started eating a healthier diet.  I am sure this is also playing a positive role in my health turnaround.

So today, I'm thankful to feel good again.  Oh yes, and another praise to add to this...found out on Thursday that my glucose levels were within the norm:)  I have lots to praise the Lord about today! 

What I am most thankful for our wonderful, caring God who heard my prayers for mercy and healing.  He not only hears to our prayers, He lovingly bends down to listen, getting down on our level, actively demonstrating His love for us.  Know that our loving God hears your voice and prayers as well.   He bends down to listen to you, too.

I love the Lord because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy.

Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath!
Psalm 116:1-2


Thank you to all my friends who have been praying for my health.  I am praying for so many friends today who have lost loved ones, have loved ones who are in a health crisis, or who are experiencing a health crisis of their own.  Let us never give up praying for one another as long as we have breath!  Love you, dear friends!

Grace and peace!
In His Love, Cathy
