God is Great, God is Good

"Whenever we look to the right or to the left and compare ourselves with others, 
we'll perceive things through a skewed lens. 
That's why Jesus wants us to spend most of our time looking up. 
He is writing a beautiful story with our lives. 
His will for us is our best-case scenario. 
He doesn't want us to want someone else's story. . . because ours fits us perfectly. 
What a shame to throw the book across the room because 
we don't like the chapter we're living at the moment! 
To be content is to trust that God is great and that He is always up to something good."
  Growing Grateful kids- by Susie Larson
Today, I am reminding myself that God is GREAT. . . 
and He is up to something GOOD!

"There are many who say, 'Who will show us some good?
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O LORD!'
You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound."
Psalm 4:6,7

  1. God is good! ...and we continue to trust HIM in our lives. Sometimes it is hard but we continue to trust. We PRAISE HIM that HE is in control and that daily HE meets our needs. Praying for all of you and love you dearly. NW/mom
