Jenifer Metzger : WEEKLY BLESSINGS {2/10/25}

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything,
through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present
your requests to God. And the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding, will guard
your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 CSB

I have been sick since before Christmas. But first, let me back up. Every single month in 2024 I had some kind of illness. Some months it was just carry over from the previous month. Some months it was just a lingering cough. But nonetheless, I was sick every month. Before Christmas I came down with another bad cold that caused a horrible cough which lingered on into 2025. While still battling this bad cough, I came down with another virus. After about a week of this virus, I started to feel on the mend, only to get knocked down with another virus (or maybe the same virus coming back for round two). As the virus passed and the lingering cough from December began to loosen it's grip, I came down with a flu A that had me bed ridden. As soon as that finally passed, I got sick with another head cold. I have spent literally every single day in 2025 sick. Two different doctors told me there is nothing I can do but wait for it to pass. Finally, this weekend I had a doctor prescribe me with an antibiotic. I have never been more happy for medication and I am so ready for it to kick in and get rid of all that is making me sick.

While 2025 didn't start out great health wise, and we had some other things going on like my dad having a heart attack and weather that had us snowed in for a few days, there was always something to give thanks for. There was always a reason to praise God. No matter what you are facing, you can find reason to praise God.

What is something you are thanking God for today?
