Be Grateful It's Not Worse

I decided to go to urgent care early this morning to assess some pain that I had been experiencing over the last couple of days. While waiting for the single parking spot reserved for patients to be vacated, I realized that a patient was being dropped off instead of leaving. She was surrounded by a group of concerned women who discussed her issue with the facility's registrar. It turned out that she had somehow managed to bust her head open. I'm not sure of how severe her injuries were, but the blood on the compress that she held on her head signified that she was in a more critical condition than I was.

I immediately realized that while what I'm experiencing isn't comfortable or convenient, it could definitely be worse. Likewise, whatever you're going through, while it may not be comfortable or convenient, it could definitely be worse. Therefore, we must always be mindful to be grateful.

Be blessed and stay encouraged. I love you.
