Off Again

God is so good.
I have prayed for many people today as they expressed painful and difficult situations, and as I look back on them, my heart yet cries out "God is so good!"

"You are so very good to us,
my Father and my Friend!
The love and mercy You contain
shall never know an end.
This life, for it is temporary,
You, oh Lord, are not;
and neither are the many blessings
that Your store has got!

You are so very good to us,
no matter what's ahead.
We cling to You, obeying You,
thus, safely, we are led!
Even, Lord, our family,
You lead and You direct
that there be many victories
on which we may reflect!"

Our daughter leaves in the morning for her next assignment.  This time, she won't just be a 12-hr drive from home that she will be able to take monthly.  She is several states away and probably won't return for 4+ months.  God has blessed her with some incredible talents which she will now share with another hospital.  Though we will be without her for a longer period of time, we still declare
GOD IS SO GOOD!
I pray that you can declare the same with all that you are going through.
