God is good

I was talking to our pastor the other day. I was letting him know that I and the kids were sick and wouldn't be at church Sunday.

I also let him know that my SIL's tumor was benign. He was happy to hear that and said to me, "God is good!"

I agreed. I told him, "But Pastor, even if it had been cancerous, God is still good."

I've been thinking about that - that even when things are difficult, or not the way WE would want them to transpire - God is good.

When I get sad about my son's diabetes, and wonder why - He is good.
When I get a good report about my daughter's eyes - He is good.
When I try to make sense of my mother's nonsensical behavior - God is good.

When I think of my dad in Heaven, and just wish he could be here or I could be there - God is good.
