Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you. Yesterday’s positives: Bible Study in the morning Beautiful day … sun shining, temp not terrible Construction cleared up on the way to the doctor New automatic loan payment happened w/o issue Tried new restaurant Two extensive talks with good friends Quality time with my husband Seven, off the top of my head. Notice that none of them were ‘profoundly’ huge, as in a financial windfall or long-lost relative/friend arriving. There was no epiphany for a miracle cure. Where those things are wonderful, they are not required to see the positives. What are your positives today? Be blessed. ** Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.—Romans 5:1-5
