I have a confession to make: I put off going to the dentist for 5 years. I know! Its horrifying! What can I say? I'm young and unwise, but boy have I been paying for it! I finally went in for a check up a few months ago and surprise surprise I had 6 cavities!! Oh. My. Goodness. I had to schedule two appointments to get them filled and I was kicking myself for putting it off for so long. Anyways, as I was sitting in the dental chair last week grumbling that I had to go through this for the second time in one month it hit me. I should be praising God that I have access to such care. I should be so very grateful that I live in a place where keeping your teeth healthy is even possible! I started thinking about all the people in the world who have little to no access to dental care and I began to feel so very grateful for all of the shots and drilling going on in my mouth. So today I'm praising God for my healthy teeth and the fact that I'm cavity free! And praying for those who aren't blessed with the same. What are you praising God for today?
Your post reminds me I need to go to the dentist, I probably haven't been in 3-4 years myself. Today I am praising the Lord for my very wonderful and supportive family who have been there for my husband, my daughter, and I since day one. They have helped us so much over the past few years and I am not sure if I will ever find a way to truly repay them.
ReplyDeleteGod has given me a wonderful family to be grateful for as well. Thanks for the reminder!!
ReplyDeleteI am so scared of the dentist that I have avoided going for about 6 years. So bad of me!
ReplyDeleteI finally went a couple of months ago as my wisdom teeth were hurting. My teeth were healthy so I was really lucky. I am grateful that the service was there and even more grateful that I didn't need treatment.
Just found your blog its really cute.. once I get a food processor I am going to attempt making homemade peanut butter thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Here in Uganda access to quality healthcare is a big issue. I've seen many families have to decide between paying the rent and going to get treatment when they are sick with malaria. I am thankful that in the States we have access to quality healthcare and that even if we are sick or have little or no money, there is still help available for treatment.
