Lovely

A friend and I were talking a couple of weeks ago and we began to talk about staying hopeful and optimistic. She told me that she keeps a journal and wrote down something good that happened to her everyday. Later I was reminded about a class we had taken together and the class started out each time with something called "New and Good". It always positively shifted the atmosphere because no matter what you had been through that day or that week there was always good. My friend had implemented that lesson learned in her life and it was inspiring. As we talked further I thought on a  play we had gone to see together earlier that day and I told her about how while getting ready I needed a purse that matched my outfit...I had a purse that would match but I had not seen it in months and the start of the play was drawing near. Suddenly, where I should look came to mind and when I looked there it was; I exclaimed "Jesus, you are so good to me" and when I did, it quickened something in me. The same day of our conversation I began to journal the good that had happened each day. I start each entry out with "Jesus, you are so good to me". The saying has become cliche but it is yet true..."God is good all the time and all the time God is good". We only have to take a moment to think about it...the good is always there and I am not talking about "I woke up this morning, clothed in my right mind" although those things are very good because some didn't; but there is always more if we but look and acknowlege. I love you with the love of Christ Jesus.




Phillipians 4:8
 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
