Good Instead of Bad

Isaiah 61:3

". . . and provide for those who grieve in Zion
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."

No matter what, God desires to resurrect
and bring new life, abundant life.

As a wise man noted in the restaurant today:
"Just goes to show you how God brings good from the bad."

He does and He is and I am so thankful.

Day Eleven - Gifts from God:
1.  a skyful of soft, cottony clouds
2.  a 3-generation ladies' lunch
3.  holding precious 6-month old Allie while her sweet mother ate lunch
4.  Victor's hamburgers and french fries, especially those french fries
5.  serving Sarah and Speck
6.  two elegant ladies - a daughter treating her mother to a birthday lunch
7.  walking and talking with Vic
8.  a spectacular sunset with a cloud like a tree
9.  several of Victor's fall decorations selling today
10.  teamwork in action - and Ben scored three goals!

With gratitude,
Sally
