God's Goodness

"For I know the plans I have for you, "says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

This new day within God's plan reveals itself by the pitter patter of two of the most beautiful feet created by our Heavenly Father. With a bounce and a giggle Savannah Faith finds her way to Nana. She finds her favorite book and crawls into Nana's lap.

As I cradle my precious Savannah and share the "Martha, Martha" story I am reminded of days past. A little more than two years ago I did not know I would be "Nana" and now my heart skips a beat every time I hear her giggle, laugh, and call my name.

Although Doug and I did not know we would be grandparents, God knew. When I read the words in Jeremiah, "they are plans for good" I realize the true meaning of "good." In the past, "good" meant okay, fine, or simply something I could live with.

"My" new definition for God's "good" is: beautiful, magnificent, wonderful, exceeding anything one could imagine....the grandest grand!!

In years past I strolled through this passage and kept going. Now, when I read the words "the plans for good and not disaster," I get it. God's "good" is so far above anything we can comprehend. I pray you will join me in recognizing God's goodness in each day.

By His mercy and in the grip of HIS grace,
