Why I'm Thankful for Having Horrible Canker Sores

Who has ever appreciated canker sores, especially if they pop out three at the same time lumping near each other that you could draw connect-the-dot lines? I've never, until today. 

During the start of the 2-week long yearend holidays of 2014, I bit the inside wall of my mouth. One thing I always do when I uncarefully bite either my tongue or inner walls of my mouth (I don't know what's it called) is to say a short prayer of "Lord, please don't let it cause another canker sore." Such is a really small thing that cause horrible pain and affects your appetite for food. My prayer got answered though, the bite didn't cause the sores right away. It would have ruined my food appetite for the holiday feasts if they did. It was January 2 when it showed up, and the pain is excruciating. I already tried to treat it as my traditional mother would suggest... The Alum treatment which multiplied the pain exponentially. 

But the point of this making it to my blogsite is that I came to my amazement as I was feeling the pain keeping me from sleeping. I know that after the holiday feasting comes the fasting but I totally didnt't plan to prepare myself dietwise. So why am I thankful for the painful cancer sores? It forced me to prepare physically for the Annual Prayer and Fasting of my local church by not letting me eat much as I have been doing for the past month. :) #EverythingHasAPurpose #EvenYourPain
