Gifts & Thorns

I've been sneezing alot.
Incessant would probably be more apt.
5-8 in a row, 4 times or more a day.

Is it just me or is my nose getting more sensitive?
(ok body might be scientifically more accurate)

God reminds me of 2 Cor 12:7
"To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me."

My sensitivity is a gift, but as with every gift, comes a thorn.
Spiritual and emotional sensitivity? Very good.
Physical sensitivity? Not so good.

Just to keep me in check.
God knows how susceptible I am to pride and conceit.
