GOD IS GOOD!

Yeah!  We have heat.  And just in time since outside it is quite cold and snowy.  Thank you Lord!  We actually got a full night of sleep without having to check on the fire, and the temperature inside the house, and getting up to cover cold kids with more blankets...it was such a wonderful blessing.
Funny thing-we woke up today and the garage door wouldn't open. Apparently, one of the gears broke.  But, thanks be to God.  We still had money leftover from the gift given to us for the furnace, and within an hour we had a fixed door!  Part of me was sitting here thinking, "O.k. What's going to break next?"  Yet, I felt God speaking to my heart this morning telling me that if I live in the moment of trepidation over what will happen next then I miss out on the joy of the blessings laying out before me. I can't control what will happen next.  But I can make sure to completely enjoy the day before me.  God is so good whether we have a broken furnace or a fixed furnace.  He is good.  And I am happy tell people that often.

Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; 
Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely (Psalm 135:3).

“Thou art good and doest good” (Psalm 119:68).
