we have long been encouraged to “look for the good”…
…but what exactly does that mean? How do you do that? When your world is falling apart is there some huge ray of light that makes itself so apparent that you can’t help but say - “there it is! There is the good!”
Or would it then be more understood to believe that the good can be sometimes hidden in small moments of reprieve? Or peaceful moments in utter chaos?
What about the situations that could have only come about from the unraveling of other hopes and dreams?
Whatever the good is that can be found, we are on the hunt for it! Because it is promised to us in Romans 8:28 - and God is not a liar. We hope you will join the search party and join us on our quest for looking for the good in every situation!
What is up with the giant ice cream? I am glad you asked…
In trying to find the perfect picture to illustrate what it is to find the good in the real-life heart-wrenching situations, this is the picture that came to mind.
The one where we gathered for a funeral wearing our black dresses.
The one where we decided, instead, on focusing on the gift of being together, with one giant bowl of ice cream (can you even call it that?!)
This is the good in the awful. All of this.
