Every day I count my blessings that God has given me.I have a loving wife who spends a lot of her time taking care of me now that I have health problems.
In the past 3 1/2 years my health has changed dramatically ,There are times when I get Gout which is very painful,I also have a neurological problem that causes severe headaches and numbness on my face.I suffer from high blood pressure that at times runs dangerously high even though I am on 3 meds for it.I have severe Asthma and a degenerative disk disease in my back with 2 bulging disks and arthritis in my back and knees.When my health which at times drives me nuttier than I am already,( like Friday when I was on my feet most of the day) and since then my back has been hurting.It hurt all weekend.Today I awoke and my finger tips are numb,bottom of both feet are numb and I have sharp pain in my lower back, now a few years ago this would had made me depressed but I realize that there are people who are suffering worse than I am.It is that numbness in my feet that drives me crazy.Then God reminds me that there are families who are separated from their loved ones due to illness and some who have lost loved ones.
I consider myself blessed with good health even with all my physical problems.I am surrounded by my family and have a God who understands my physical problems.He allows me to suffer so that I can witness to those who also are suffering.He allows me to learn and teach through my own experiences.
I count my blessings every day even during the hard times as well as the good times.
