Appetite Blessings

I’m How many things do we take for granted in our everyday lives instead of appreciating them as a blessing from God? A recent bout with sickness gave me a renewed appreciation for the blessing of an appetite. We may remember to thank God for our food, but it is so easy to enjoy our food without bothering to thank God for that ability. To find delight in the delicious smell of food cooking is a wonderful treat. To be able to enjoy the taste of various foods is an immense pleasure. What a blessing to sit down to good smelling, delicious tasting food, and to digest it as well as benefit from its nutrients. God, thank You for the blessing of possessing an appetite. Help us give You thanks for every other blessing you bestow on our bodies, which we take for granted. How many times do we fail to recognize that You are behind the gift of a well-functioning body? Enhance our ability to appreciate the ordinary, everyday blessings You regularly bestow on us. We thank you for the function of every system you designed to make our bodies work properly. Help us remember to thank you when they function well and turn to you for help when they don’t.
