Counting Blessings.

Yesterday was one of those "what if" days. My wife called from the Doctors office and said "meet me at the office". I met up with my Wife and Son and they were sending him to the hospital for a blood test because his white count was in the 40's. Cristy and I are both fairly versed in medical things and our hearts just sank because a white count that high could be Leukemia. The next two hours were the most tense hours I have ever lived through. We finally got the phone call which showed a much lower white count but indicated that Josh most likely has a bad infection or virus that needs to be treated aggressively. I made a phone call to my mother to let her know the good news and when I ended the call, Hannah, my 3 year old, was singing the old hymn "Count your many Blessings". We have never heard her sing that song before but today we are doing just that. Counting Blessings.

Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant, because you adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethern that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while make you perfect, stablish, strenghten, settle you. 1 Peter 5:7-10
