Regard your sickness as a blessing in disguise – a good and not an evil – a friend and not an enemy. (Author Unknown)

That’s not easy to do, is it? When we’re sick, weak, and hurting, it’s hard to think positively about our condition. But when we’re out of commission, it’s a good time to contemplate what’s really important in life, our eternal and spiritual well-being, for example.

Keep them [the words of wisdom] within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man’s whole body. (Psalm 4:22-23)
