As I see two of my friends struggle with health issues and as I read about the disaster in the Philippines, I count my blessings.
My aches and pains and my occasional cold are nothing compared to what these wonderful children of our Heavenly Father are going through.
I am also grateful for my parents' health. I live in fear that something may happen to them and, with me being so far away, I worry that I cannot help. Heavenly Father has blessed us as He is keeping them healthy.
I know that, when we are in pain, it is hard to focus on what others are suffering through; but, perhaps, we could try to make a conscious decision to think of others and lose ourselves in the service of those less fortunate that our pains may grow dim and our gratitude for our blessings might increase.
