Perspective

After reading a blog of a physician that I work with God has given me some perspective. Hearing about how there is 1 hospital for hundreds of thousands of people and of the poor medical care that sometimes they receive......it hit me. I live in a medium size community (less than 250,000 people) and we have 3 hospitals, 3 emergency rooms, and an abundance of good physicians, nurses, and excellent medical care.....all of which could easily be taken advantage of if you lose your perspective. How thankful I am that when my children were sick this week I could drive them to their pediatrician, be treated, then drive to the pharmacy and get their antibiotics filled. All with such ease and convenience. There are some parts of the world for convenience is null and void. So, today I say Thank you God for blessing us here and I will pray for the other parts of the world that so desperately need good medical care (and lots of other things I am sure.....)
