Our human body of flesh, blood, muscles and bones are fed by our blood. The heart keeps pumping in rhythm, nourishing and healing one little cell at a time. It can jolt your senses, and disturb your sensibilities to a place beyond constant to become better. Knitting pieces together to create a whole. It amazes me what our bodies can withstand. God has made us so that our humanness will make us stronger. It will remind us of who our maker is. Test us beyond our own abilities so that we will learn to call on him to make us whole again. And, only through him can we be whole again.
My human body has been through a lot more than most but not as much as some. It resilience amazes me. It's fragility terrifies me. It's constant fight astounds me, All the mechanisms simultaneously moving to heal, pushing and thriving to push forward. It never does what is expected of it, for good or ill. It does what it wants! Always pulling through in the end. Even if the fight is long and difficult. Pushing the endurance of not only myself, but of the people I love best, it keeps on fighting through the muck.
I wonder often of why the human spirit does not crash and burn in us and others as they continue on in the battles they are meant to fight. I am reminded of how strong we must have been and still are. That we won't give in easily. That change is the only constant in life, other than our loving Father in Heaven. He never leaves us, He know how we feel, what is happening and how we will survive it. If we lose a piece of any of us along the way we will be stronger and MORE whole on the other side of the battle field.
