Health Is Wealth

One of God's greatest gifts to us is Health. Which most of us take for granted, like it is something all should have. Says who? I was on medical leave for two days, something very uncommon for me, because I was stricken with diarrhoea, vomiting and fever. I was extremely weak I could hardly stand or eat! I slept just so that I could get over the time, which seemed pretty long then, and wake up healthy again. And it was during this time that I felt worthless and realised how so very blessed by Him all this while I was. He gives me health so that I can play with my children, spend meaningful moments with my family, keep doing the work I have been doing in school, make friendships, be there for others and of course, to enjoy life's simple things like eating, talking endlessly (complaning more like it), do leisure stuffs and the like. And of course, instead of being thankful for all these, I groused about how slow I was at making money, how painful it was at times to work, how annoying my children could be at times and plenty more grouses than you can imagine. And then, He woke me up by giving me a two day 'break'. Then I realised, what used to be important (like making money, seeking perfection and blah, blah, blah) is actually not at all. What is important is to be thankful for what I have and making full use of my time counting my blessings. A simple lesson taught and learnt. So, today, I will not forget to give thanks to God for all that He has given to me. And one of the most important gift I have taken from Him today is my good Health. Alhamdulillah. All praises to Allah, God Almighty.
