When my daughter was 7, she made me a sign, that says, “Today is a gonna be a good day.” She made me this sign a year after I lost my son, Sean James.
I have that sign propped up on the table beside my bed.
“ TODAY is gonna be a GOOD DAY!!”
What a thought to open my eyes to, when some days I don’t want to open my eyes.
During the winter months, when the dark, gray days permeate my spirit, I see this sign:
“Today is gonna be a good day.”
I find it a little easier to hang on through the winter.
This week, the sun has been shining, and snow has been melting, and I am thinking about that sign:
“TODAY is gonna be a GOOD DAY!!”
I can smell spring in the air—the birds are coming back. The weather is warmer—not warm—but not freezing.
My spirits are rising. Hope is in the air. New Life is in the air.
“TODAY is gonna be a GOOD DAY!!”
I have the same problems. My trials have not gone away. But somehow, my burdens seem a little lighter. It is easier to put those things I have no control over, in the Father’s Hands. It is easier to put the things I think I have control over in the Father’s Hands.
Spring is coming!! New life will overcome death and decay!!
“TODAY is a GONNA BE a GOOD DAY!!”
“TODAY IS GONNA BE A GOOD DAY!!”
SO LET US BE ENCOURAGED!!

Encouragement for you!!
