The itchy eyes, the runny nose, the sore throat, the coughing and weezing can make life's easy tasks a challenge. As a kid I would wish and pray to be normal. I would wonder, "what did I do to deserve this?". It has taken me many years and many allergy and asthma attacks to realize that it isn't something I did or have done to deserve it but that maybe it is God's way of saying "Remember Me".
Provebs 3:3
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
During these times I also have to remember to be grateful for just having allergies and asthma because there are people who have it way worse then me.
Prayer:
Thank you all of the little reminders that show me you are real.
Amen
P.S. May you read this and not think that since my allergies and asthma have been really bad this year that I don't remember who God is, but that they know allergy season has just really sucked this year : (
