Sometimes when you are sick you can become so self-absorbed and not realize that there is a whole world out there that is suffering. I try not to dwell on my illness, but when I do I remind myself that I am not as bad as others and not as sick as most.
Today I went to church.  As I have said before, this is a place that brings me joy and happiness.  I feel so comfortable and welcome there.  If you really knew me, that is saying a lot.  I am shy and takes a lot for me to feel comfortable.  I am good at faking comfort, when inside I feel a huge amount of anxiety.  Church reminds me that there are people with bigger problems than I. I am lucky to be loved, loved by my family, friends and mostly importantly by God.  He loves me no matter what I look like, how I walk, how grumpy I may be, and when I fall short of expectations.
"Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up".     Proverbs 12:25 (NLT)
