I would like to praise God for all the people He's put
into my life. I have my family to love and be loved. I have friends
to share love. I have a hospital to go to when I am sick. I have the
care of qualified, compassionate doctors curing me of diseases invading my
body. I have the care of nurses, cna'a's, respiratory therapists helping
me to breathe better. I have delicious food on a tray made by the food
service in the hospital. I have spiritual support from the Pastoral Care
Dept at the hospital. I have all these people helping me to be as comfortable as
I can be.. I have all this and more. God is so good to me. Praise
God.
