A Great Gift

This morning I was studying the first part of John 5 where Jesus heals the man who had been lame for 38 years. As I was reading through the passage, I unconsciously moved my hand across my face. At that moment, the thought occurred to me that every movement I make is a gift from God - the thousands (perhaps millions?) of movements, processes, and functions that go on about my body all through the day. Each one - every blink, every nod, every bend, every laugh, every bite, every turn, every tear, every step - is a gift from God. Our bodies are an incredible example of His generous grace and of great cause to praise our amazing Creator.
