Feeling blessed

Well the economy tragedy has hit me personally now. I knew it was a matter of time before I started seeing these types of patients. I admitted a man this morning who had diabetes. He lost his job a couple of months ago, his wife left him when he lost his job, and he became homeless. While living in his car or off of his friends generosity one of his feet became infected. It looks like the infection is in the bone so they will be removing his foot today. My heart just breaks for him. I couldn't help feeling so blessed that in spite of the bad economy we still have a home to go to, and health insurance in the event we get sick. Yes, we are struggling right now, but God has blessed us and taken care of us. I know He is with us and helping us with our difficulties. So today I am truly thankful and feeling blessed that my family is with me, and we are all healthy.
