The Treasure of Health

A healthy body that functions well! What a marvelous, wondrous blessing! Isn’t that a most glorious blessing way beyond such often coveted blessings of wealth, experiences, power or human accomplishment? Think of the number of systems in our body that function every day. Consider the vast number of cells that function properly daily in order for us to perform well as we go about our days. The lists of body systems you can find today are much larger and more detailed than those my high school biology course outlined. Depending on where one researches, our bodies depend on our Circulatory system, Digestive system and Excretory system, Endocrine system, Integumentary system, Exocrine system, Immune system and Lymphatic system, Muscular system, Nervous system, Renal system and Urinary system. In addition, these systems must work together for optimum health. Doesn’t that make you draw a deep breath and thank God for how well we function even if there are some lacks or deficits in our body. As a non- medical person, I only have a bare glimmer of understanding of all that goes into my body functions. God help us remember to thank You and rejoice regularly for Your care for our bodies.
