“I venture to say that the greatest earthly blessing that God can give to any of us is health, with the exception of sickness.  Sickness has frequently been of more use to the saints of God than health has.”
–C. H. Spurgeon

Interestingly this came at me a different way this morning. Lori and I have been dealing with one our greyhounds who has been sick. Having that going on, and then reading Spurgeon’s words this morning made me think that not only does my own sickness draw me closer to Him, but also the sickness of others. When others are physically ill, I feel compelled to pray for them, hence drawing me closer to God. Could it be that when I am sick, others are drawn closer to God in their prayers for me? It really isn’t about me, is it?

In His service,
