ON A GOOD DAY

Our worth is tested every day. We are given the choice of being nice to people or uncharitable. We are given the choice of doing our work as well as we can or of goofing off. Some days it seems the tests are harder than on others, but every day brings with it some kind of test. Even the really good days!

To have everything go wonderfully for us, to feel like a million dollars, to have one of those days when nothing and nobody can upset us, they are days when we might think we don't need God. And so we pay Him little attention. MISTAKE! BIG MISTAKE! We must never forget our good days are God's gifts to give us a breather, a taste of heaven.

"Make no mistake about this," writes St. James, "Every genuine benefit comes from above, descending from the Father of the heavenly luminaries." Good days are made in heaven. Be sure to thank God for them.

CDR Gary Simons, CHC, USN

I always remind the Boys on Campouts to Look Up at the night sky and say Thank You before bedding down for the night.

A good thing for us all to remember.

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours, Sand. ((HUGS))

Just finished moving locally and now watching a little baseball.

How's things your way?

I saw that a little earlier. Last I read they didn’t know how many were on the plane that crashed and burned.

Someone was not paying attention. Prayers for all involved.

Happy Lord’s Day to you and yours, Seven.
