30 days, day 26

Today I am thankful for the marvel of modern medicine. I am thankful that God has given to doctors the knowledge to help the body heal.

100 years ago, you would get sick and die, and no one really even knew what the cause was. 50 years ago, there may have been a diagnosis, but little treatment as we know it today.

Today we have regular checkups, x-ray, mri, mammograms, and tons of other tests that help to catch diseases in their early stages. Many of our friends and loved ones are alive today because of regular check ups and testing.

Treatments are also greatly improved. New drugs are out on the market, new pain relievers, asthma drugs have helped my wife, nexium was a big help to me personally.

We take so much of this for granted, but not every country around the world has such benefits.

Today I thank God for doctors, nurses, dentists, and what has been learned over the years. The wisdom of God, improving care to his children and alleviating suffering.

It is a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
