It's A Great Day To Have A Great Day 12/5/2024

 Good Morning, 

A hot cup of Door County Naughty Or Nice Grog is keeping me company this morning.   Our dogs are sleeping on the floor behind me. It is time to write.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Yesterday I was able to use some of my plumbing skills to help  dear friends replace a water heater in their home. I left for home right after the the work was declared leak free. Later I received a text message that they had "Hot Water"! Amen.

This morning I have some desk work to finish and then tonight I will be watching a football game while trimming the Christmas tree with my wife. 

It sounds like a mundane kind of day. But I have set it in my heart that despite what can happen in any day, today  is a great day to have a great day. In my heart there is a melody, my coffee is hot, our home smells great from bread rolls in the oven. I have prayed for a few people this morning and there is a fire in the hearth. I am upright and pretty much pain free. I have so much to be thankful for and I just thanked God for this day that He has given to me. 

It takes very little effort to to look at the small things and appreciate them with gusto ( I haven't used that word in a long time) and make an ordinary day a great day!

Looking closely at your blessings and being thankful for them makes any day a great day.

God bless,

Marty
