Just over a month ago some fresh new sod was laid in our front yard. At the end of a hard day’s work we were tired and sore and our greatest concern was rather or not we would be able to make the sod live. Fortunately, we had Bermuda sod. I don’t think we could kill it if we wanted and it’s a good thing too because life sure changed fast!
But thinking back over the events of last month I just have to proclaim that God IS good…ALL the time!
Dad’s accident was bad. Maybe he shouldn’t have lived. Many people don’t. We have seen it many times being in ICU for the month. Families coming in with sobs, weeping as they say good-bye to the one they love. Their time was over. I’m selfishly grateful that Dad’s was not. And now we are even able to hear him again. Tell him that we love him and for him to say it back! God IS good…ALL the Time!
Baby Ella has life! And even though it is going to be a hard, long road there is hope. There are procedures and survival rates and there is God. God IS good…All the time! We don’t know Ella’s future. But that sweet life that lives within my sister has purpose and she will have breath until her time is through. Such a little child, already touching lives. God is good…all the time!
There are lives being changed at the children’s conferences. I am so grateful the Lord is using us! God IS good…ALL the time!
The storms hit hard yesterday. Our house had some hail damage. Some people will be completely rebuilding. Some people lost life. We lost a window and had roof damage but I slept in my house last night with electricity. God IS good…ALL the time!
“Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of Christ Jesus concerning you.”
A friend of mine was reminding me the other day about the story of the ten lepers. Jesus healed all of them but only one came back to say thank you. I want to be that one. Will you be that one? As we get good reports about dad, as you continue to pray for healing, would you just take a minute to just show gratefulness for all God has done?
God is still on the throne! None of these things have taken Him by surprise! We have seen his hand guiding, directing, comforting, proctecting and healing,
So instead of this last month being full of good-byes, sorrow, and loss, we have had life, hope, and a place to stay. Friends to hold up our arms and a God that is bigger than this all! And guess what? The sod is still alive!!! Yes, GOD IS GOOD…ALL THE TIME!!!
