a tooth ache

it has got to be one of the most painful things a person can experience, got one this evening..and I am very uncomfortable because of it..but, while I am thinking about that, I think that even a toothache has its use..for one thing...it is giving me an opening to fast, something which I have been neglecting lately and making up all kinds of excuses of why I did not do it..Lord, please have the Holy Spirit help me that when I fast you will be glorified in it..thank you Jesus.
