Not to say that I am so way strong anymore, but I do want to acknowledge and show gratitude for the strength and ability that has been regained. You just do not know what you have until you no longer do have it. The ability to walk completely freely is still not one hundred percent for me, but it is really close in comparison to how life was just two and three years ago when my knees kept throwing fits randomly—on trips. I am so thankful to be able to open jars and close containers and move my body with more power. It feels great. And with being able to move better, I have to follow up with thankfulness for my Heavenly Father blessing me and my children with being so very well most of the time in our lives. I like to say I have an iron constitution, and I believe it is from all the minerals from the well water I grew up on at our old house, and maybe some of those benefits have passed down to my children. God really watches over us in keeping us from catching colds and whatever other bugs might be "going around the neighborhood" so to speak. My oldest son has a theory that we are so well because of the kitchen sponge harboring a little bad bugs, just enough to keep our immune systems working out, so that is why we all enjoy so much immunity. He could be right. Maybe we both are. But also, I have lived long enough to know that no matter what, it is by the grace of God that we have any good thing, so I will just say how grateful I am. So many times in our lives, we have watched the world around us get so sick and run through whole families but not us. So grateful.
