Today is reunion day.  It is nice to have a reunion when the purpose is simply to enjoy family.  The last two times my own family got together like this have been for funerals.  We need to celebrate family for more joyful reasons.

Yesterday I received two calls from ones I do accountability with.  One call was very troubling and the other was celebratory.  The second one, even though the man was reporting good things in his life, has gone through several months of tormenting trials.  It reminded me how good God is.  He is faithful when we are in the midst of trials as in the first caller or when we have a season of trials having subsided.  Our faithfulness to God must not slacken when the season of “free from trials” come.  Satan is never not watching for an inroad to beat us down.

There is a song I love to sing during worship in Celebrate Recovery and it’s called “Good, Good Father”.  The words speak to the immense love God has for us and none of it is because we have done something spectacular for Him.  He simply loves us because He created us.  I want to remember this throughout each day.  To God be all Glory.
