Thankful Thursday: Health
I’m thankful for Thankful Thursday. It’s a special time to reflect on the week and count my blessings. Writing what I am grateful for has been an inspiration each week.
I’m thankful my husband insisted I go to the doctor this week. I have been exhausted and blaming it on anemia. Hubby was right–it is more than anemia.
I’m thankful for my wonderful God who is my source of comfort. The doctor heard an arrhythmia while listening to my heart and ordered an EKG that confirmed it. It was a bit scary listening to the doctor explain the problems and possibilities. My mind jumped to “What about my children…” - but then I switched gears and turned to my Father and He immediately calmed me. I know things will be fine. I’m glad they found the reason I’m tired and look forward to the solution. I’m halfway through the heart tests and only have two more. Will know more next week.
I am thankful most of you reading this have already stopped and said a prayer for me! How neat is that?–like prayer request on autopilot! (I should add this to Reasons I Blog.)
I am thankful that the medical news helped me put my priorities into focus. Today I had to choose between work or talking off half a day for swimming with the children. If it were not for the medical news I may have missed the swim. We had a lovely day.
I’m thankful for the information available on the Internet for health and alternative medicine. I believe I have an easy-to-treat magnesium deficiency (based on similar problem in my past).
I’m thankful for Web2.0. Blogging and memes are part of Web 2.0. I love all the new technology that allows us to fellowship online. I’m writing a series on Web2.0. If you like to get email updates you can subscribe to this blog in the upper left corner.
I’m thankful for all trials. Trials bring us to God–and that’s a good thing. Wiersbe said, “If we only endure our trials, then trials become our master, and we have a tendency to become hard and bitter. If we try to escape our trials, then we will probably miss the purposes God wants to achieve in our lives. But if we learn to enlist our trials, they will become our servants instead of our masters and work for us; and God will work all things together for our good and His glory. (Rom. 8:28).”
Thankful Thursday is a meme based on a posted quote each week at Sting My Heart. For more memes see the Christian and Homeschool Meme List

I am thankful to know that you are allowing this to bring you closer to God. Sincerely, Serving Him (PS thanks for the tip on the Wheat Germ…I plan on getting some)
Thank you for visitng my blog and sharing that quote from Wiersbe. God truly does use those trials to make us more like Himself, and I am glad you see that. Thank you for rejoicing in your trials. Your list was a blessing to me.
Robin…Thanks so much for sharing this today. I so needed to hear that Wiersbe quote about trials today…I added it to *my* Thankful Thursday post! Praying for you in your health and business issues right now…and most of all as you seek to be the wife and mother God would have you to be during this time!

Beautiful list. I pray your health problems will be easy to treat!
So thankful that you went to the doctor. May He heal you and you will be healed! (Jeremiah 17:14a). And, wonderful to read of how you are trusting Him in trials. Romans 8:28 is a good one!
You have a beautiful attitude. I will pray that your tests turn out good and the solution will be easy.
Blessings
Sorry to hear the bad news. I just prayed for you. If we’re sincerely seeking God He’ll give us things to adjust our priorities, but with those things, He gives boatloads of grace for the trials! I loved your last thankful item especially.
Thanks for stopping!
Blessing on you, Robin. I have lifted you up to Him. Take care.
That’s an amazing list! Your right, I did say a prayer for you and will continue to keep you in my prayers. Blessings to you!
I always enjoy your posts. I am so thankful that you have peace in knowing taht God is in control. Blessings to you as you seek healing and alternatives to your health proble. I am praying for you. Blessings…
Peace in the midst of your trials is a blessing. I pray that you will continue to be able to look to God for your strength during the following weeks as the doctors give you treatments and make you feel better!
Thanks for visiting my blog and my site. I will pray for your condition. I have a heart condition as well — i was born with a mitral valve prolapse. I used to have problems when I was still in school. By God’s protection, I am doing fine now at 33. Thanks for checking out our portfolio. Let me know what you might need. You may reach me at peachy_mlh@yahoo.com. Thanks!
Glad you listened to hubby and went and got checked out! THe Wiersbe quote is so timely to what I am facing next week that I printed it out and put it in my Bible to bring along with me! Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad that your doctor found out what the health issue is. This way you can start the treatment.
I am glad that you let work be work and have fun with your children.
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us this week.
Be blessed today and always.
Wow, What a great list. I love the swim. So glad the Lord worked that out. Your place is just lovely. Thank you for having me in. Love, Lynn
Yup, those prayers were already headed up, just as you predicted.
Hope all is well with you on this beautiful Sunday!
