I have a fingernail on my right hand that is constantly splitting. It hurts. It is annoying. It is like the splinter in the lion's paw.
I think about it way too much. I grabs my attention because it hurts. And if you know fingernail pain, I keep catching it on things and it is really painful.
Then I think... my other 9 nails are fine. So are my toenails. Maybe I should spend more time focusing on what is good instead of what is wrong.
Instead of saying, "why me? Why does this hurt?" Maybe I should ask things like this: why can I see when others are blind? Why can I walk when others are in a wheelchair? Why do I have the ability to think and remember when others have dementia?
There are 1,000 questions like this and I should think about them more often and think about my fingernail less.
Why can I hear when others are deaf? Why do I have people that love me when others are alone and lonely? There are 998 questions like these. We should ask them more.
We have a lot to be thankful for.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
