Burned

Yesterday I burned both my thumbs.  It is so weird having blisters on both hands.  I feel like I can hardly grab things normally because I am afraid to burst them.  And once again I recognize how amazingly we are designed.  Can you imagine how difficult life would be without thumbs?  I wonder how many things I take for granted that are so simple as thumbs.
When you look at a newborn baby you notice all the little amazing things about them...the perfect nose, yummy belly and incredible fingers and toes.  Yet, when we look at ourselves we often look so critically.  We are amazing.  The way we have been created.  The things that are so special about each and every one of us.  These are the things we should be thankful for and celebrate.
2nd degree burn are not fun, but I choose today to see the bright side of things.  Thank you Lord for giving me thumbs!  I look forward to 2-3 weeks from now when these burns have healed.
