7/30/2022 Today I am meditating once again on what does it mean to have a “good day” or to have a “bad day”. Sometimes what seems good is bad for us while what seems bad is good for us. (I will not further confuse the issue by sharing the other side of this.) God promises He can and will makes all things work together for good so is everyday a “good day”? What is a “good day”? What is a “bad day”? What part does hope play in whether we have a “good day” or a “bad day”?

The antidote is grace. It is that profound, simple and difficult at the same time.

From my Grace Journal to remind me of our need not for agreement but grace in our relationsh
