A Gift Wrapped in Newspaper

Dear Diary,

I hate thermometers! I wish I never see them again in all my living days.

Okay, I will explain. Remember those fevers that my little sister got? Well, I got them too. I seriously don’t know what virus it was; but man,  so stubborn! 3 days with fevers on and off is no fun–at all.

But really, we do take so many things for granted! Health is one of them. When we are in bed we realize how much of a blessing it is to be healthy and going about our lives. But sometimes we need to get sick in order to learn to be more grateful. Sometimes we even stray from the right way, and God sends us little trials to get back on track. We should be thankful for those little trials because they are actually the mercy of God in disguise. 🙂

Trust me, I know they are mercies in disguise. It’s a gift from God. It might be wrapped with newspaper and not shiny gift wrap, but the inside is what matters.
