Day 22
Thanks to those of you who posted good news in response to yesterday’s entry. It truly is a refreshing thing.
Milwaukee’s news these days is filled with stories of a corrupt alderman, murder rates, and the Juneteenth violence. You can get discouraged really quickly hearing about that kind of stuff.
So even little bits of good news, like “Hooray – I don’t ever have to take math in college” or “school’s almost done” or “I found my ID card after I lost it and thought I’d have to pay $15 dollars to replace it” are welcome. Bigger news, like “only 22 days left until Philly airport” and “the mission team had a great trip to El Salvador and got back safely” is even better.
And the news that is best and most refreshing on this hot hazy humid afternoon is that I am truly loved with an everlasting love. Yes, I knew that already. But I always need the reminding.
Made for Eternity
