Good News!!!!
Wait right there! Don't read ahead! How do you feel right now after reading that title? The thought of good news cheers us up - lightens our step - brightens our day! :)
I talk to my mom on the phone every night. We tell lots of current event stories and reminisce over days gone by. Regardless of where our times together takes us, we always end our phone calls with good news. We try to end our conversations finding something good to share. Sometimes it is a stretch. We get creative, but we can always find a good angle in our messy lives.
Jay and I were talking the other night. Believe it or not, we were praising God for how/when Trey died. We found good news in a heart wrenching situation. Trust me - the tears still flow - but God's love and mercy remain my plumb line in trying to understand that which is understandable.
What do you have on your plate today? Can you find something - anything - that you can consider good news? Where do you see God's love and power shining through your situation? The lens of gratitude gives thanks to God!
"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." I Thessalonians 5:18
