Hi! Have you ever wondered what the purpose of nose hair is? I haven't much wondered, either. Until now. Don said the other night that I didn't have any nose hair. So I looked. He's right (not that I doubted him...he just got new glasses and perhaps he wasn't seeing everything). That got me to thinking exactly what do nose hairs do. They do plenty. They purify the air that you breathe - assuming you breathe through your nose. If you breathe through your mouth, your teeth may yellow quicker. Interesting. They also catch bacteria that shouldn't be in your body and do away with it (blowing your nose!). Well, now...such a tiny little part of our bodies...nose hair. But have you ever tried to pull one out? Nearly makes your eyeballs turn inside out!! Something so small, yet God has a purpose for them. Not to be gross, but think of all the "stuff" that could get into our bodies through our noses without the protection of nose hair there (never mind the "stuff" that sometimes ends up in somebody's nose even with nose hair...a remote control button and a seashell are just two of the things I've heard of!!)
Thank you, God, that You have designed our bodies to live on this earth, down to the smallest of details. You have given purpose & meaning and function to things that we don't give a thought to - most of the time. We give You praise for the ways in which You care for us and protect us by Your design and creation. We thank You so much!!
Have a great day, enjoying the clean air that you breathe thanks to your nose hairs!!
Love,
Deb

ReplyDeleteYou are so funny Deb!!! Of all the hair I lost and REALIZED I had lost during my chemo, I NEVER thought of my nose hairs but, I am sure you are right! You continue to inspire others to be "better" people through God's great love of us...underseving as we are. Thanks for your insight, humor and especially for your COMPLETE devotion to the Lord...THAT is THEE BIGGEST INSPIRATION OF ALL! Luv ya!
