My Psalm of Thanksgiving
[I wrote this after I had an infected kidney stone episode on 2/2/2023. An infected kidney could lead to sepsis. Was in hospital two nights. Doctor put a stent in and drained the infection. 2/14/2023 — Kidney stone and stent removed. Much better now!]
I praise you, O Lord,
For you have rescued me from the path to death.
Once, twice, and three times now,
And perhaps many more that I’m not aware of.
I thank You for those who are healers —
Doctors, nurses, nurse aides, and their helpers.
Please guide them in their work
And give them Your wisdom.
Now, Lord, help me learn from this.
May I take the best care of my body,
The temple of Your Holy Spirit.
May I use my good health
To heal others with the gifts You’ve given me —
Mostly encouragement, I think!
[I also pray to have the gift
To praise You
Right in the midst of any hardship,
For You have a plan for me.]
May Your name be praised
Over all the earth!
Gifts and Talents
If I don’t have a realistic view of my gifts and talents, I won’t be able to develop them appropriately, and will fall short of the best I could be. Perhaps I will have missed God’s best plan for me.
