Alright, how many of us have Jake on a shirt, window sticker, coffee mug or other such paraphernalia? I do and have really enjoyed his companionship over the past few years! I really fell in love with him almost four years ago when our dear friends The Rectors were going through, yet another crisis in their lives. Kim's mother was fighting cancer and they took on the "Life Is Good" theme for their family! We bought a window sticker in honor of Mrs. Mason then and have kept one on our vehicles since!
You know honestly, there have been several days recently that I would choose a different saying! And then I remember Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
I look at the path that God has given our family and I am gently reminded that Life Is Good!! Our Heavenly Father knows where we have been and He, alone, knows what is in store for our future!

AMEN!!! life is good and GOD is great! thanks for continuing to point us to HIM!
Wow...what a great and powerful God we serve that causes us to be able to say that life is good when we're at the deepest point in our lives. Part of what makes life good during those times is that we have friends like you all to carry us through (the Sheltering Tree). I hope you enjoyed your Monday. Let's take a raincheck!
I love you all...

Angela,
That verse has a very, very special place in my heart. I've known it all my life but during the lowest of lows while David was away, that was the scripture I really clung to. I wrote it on index cards and put them everywhere. On my mirror in the bathroom so I could see it first thing in the morning. On the visor in my car so I could think about it riding down the road. On my desk at work so I could look at it when I'd get frustrated and felt like giving up. And as a bookmark in my Bible so I could read it again before I went to sleep at night. I had others, too, but this one gave me special hope and a promise that I could hold on to during the storm. I'm glad it is doing the same for you.
It is so good to keep reading your blog. Please know we love you all very much and we are praying for you!
Keep looking up,
Teresa
