counting my blessings

Today I went to Children’s hospital in St. Louis.  I visited with a young man from our congregation who is very sick.  I stood by his bed listening to him voice some of his fears.  Tears came easily for him as he expressed the thought that he might not ever get any better.  I thanked him for sharing with me and had prayer.  On my way to the parking lot I rode the elevator with parents whose child was very ill and they were in tears.  Walking across the parking lot I thanked God for my two healthy sons and their families.  God has been good to me in so many ways.  Yet, I feel ashamed that it took a trip to Children’s hospital to get me to see some obvious blessings that I just live with and don’t thank God enough for giving them to me.  Today I praise God for being able to walk, talk, and just breathe.
