I’ve said this before…and I will proclaim it until the day I receive my reward…God is good! This has been one of those days that blesses the soul. Earlier today I had a committal service for a woman who came back ‘home’ to be buried beside her husband and parents after she had lived all of her adult life out of state. This evening we had a wedding rehearsal for a young couple whose wedding I have the privilege of performing tomorrow. Then on Sunday morning the church will receive two new adult members on profession of faith…it’s back out to the pond! God is so good that I am not sure I can fully comprehend how good God really is. I say that because we, okay, I all too often sell God short. I can conceive of good things and they routinely fall way short of the good that God has in store for me. For instance, for God to allow me to experience the ‘cycle of life’ is such a privilege and the fact that God allows me to play a small part in the celebrations…whether celebrating a faithful life, consecrating a marriage, or performing a baptism…it is just awesome. Rich Mullins was right; our God IS an awesome God! Praise his holy name!

All the time!
I'm seeing that 'cycle of life' here as well. I've just welcomed a new little grandbaby; yet a dear friend of ours (Meindy) has lost a close uncle. Please keep her (and her family) in your prayers.
