A cheerful word
June 28, 2017
Yesterday I complimented a woman at the next gas pump on her cute grey short cropped hair cut. She beamed. ‘It’s the result of 3 battles with cancer,’ she replied. In the following conversation she shared that she had been out for work for four months and was struggling. Her final words to me, ‘You made my day.’
Today I’m needing that positive word. I’m struggling with a disruption in the life of someone I love with permanent negative consequences. It came from God reading Psalm 149: 4 He takes pleasure in me even when my spirits are sagging. Psalm150. Praise the Lord just because I’m breathing. Its still early and I might yet hear more cheerful words. But, if not, God is enough.
