Find the Good.

Anyone over the age of 2 years old knows that we don’t always get what we want, things don’t always go our way, and life is not always a bowl of cherries. As adults we can look back over our lives and reflect on some real hardships and disappointments through our journey thus far. We recognize that in the grand scheme of things we are all creations that create and have the power to change and redirect with the power of our perception(s).
But what about those times when you’re smack-dead in the middle of crap? Yep, crap! The good bishop always says that each of us need a friend that we can just vent too… you all are that friend to me. :0) But really what do you do?

You find the good. LOL that whole paragraph and that’s all I have to say… I crack myself up. But that’s really it, you must find the good. If we believe in a all-powerful God who created us in His image, our lives and that journey within always has good in it somewhere… because the Creator is only good… Am I right? Yes I am. :0)

FIND THE GOOD in whatever it is – capitalize on it, transform it, learn from it, and KNOW it.

BOOM! Have a awesome day… you’re looking for the good right? MUAH

  4. Our Bible study "Lies Women Believe" was focusing on the fact that GOD is GOOD. He is the essance of everything good, even when we don't understand and it looks and feels bad. It is important not to vent to people that cannot do anything to help your situation and will jump in the "crap" with you!! Sometimes a reality check and an attitude adjustment are what we need. When complaining to a dear mentor and friend the other day, I was reminded of all that deserves gratitude and thanks in my life. After all, God is enough and He IS good, I have found Him and therefore I have found "The Good"!

  5. I agree with you Megan..I have to find the "good" in people everyday! Working as a Secretary in the main office of a middle school, I see so much "bad"..or "sad"..but then when, for example, I see our wonderful teacher aides in our handicap room with those beautiful kids that were not dealt a great hand, then I say.."Yes, there is the "good"..I have watched one boy, Tomas', go from a young teen that wore a helmet because he would hit his head on objects, or people and even kick, or "head-but" you, to a precious gift from God, come into the office with one of the aides, no helmet, and give me his hand to hold, or want me to rub his face and head..I also have a 19 year old with Absence seizures..and has also had several health issues and surgeries, and sometimes, its hard to find any good..but, like you said..FIND IT! Sorry about the long comment here, but like you..I was "venting"! God Bless..
