We read the Bible and sometimes we may be tempted to question if it really relates to today. In a recent e-mail I received the following words. They are a Psalm for today. They come from the heart of a person who is living in a difficult circumstance. I couldn’t help but share it. (Some details have been omitted or changed).

God is so good!
God's blessings have amazed me:
Family and friends that are there to pray for us.
Family that has helped care.
Meeting [one doctor] who was at that hospital as a patient and who said he would make house calls.
Our primary physician didn't have an opening for my loved one. But amazingly someone cancelled there appointment that was right before my semi annual check up.
A wonderful church and pastors.
My friend and neighbor.
A job that is both challenging and enjoyable.
Great co-workers.
A good medical insurance plan.
Great visiting nurses and therapists.
Good reports on my general health.
Anonymous neighbors who sanded our driveway after the last storm.
Regaining power after the last "great" ice storm after only 6 hours.
[My loved one] & his surgeon "bonding" after finding out they came from adjoining towns.
A comfortable home.
Many other blessing, but most of all a God that loves us beyond all understanding.

The way the Psamist put it in Psalm 121 was, “I lift my eyes to the hills – where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” I thanks our God for the perspective of this precious one. I thank Him for a psalm for today.
