My family and I just returned from a trip to our hometown in New York. While we were there, we were fortunate enough to visit with many loved ones. 

It had been a few years since our last trip so there was a lot to catch up on! Our conversations went late into the night and involved reminiscing, sharing updates – the highs and lows, and giving thanks to the Lord. 

Needless to say, it was time well spent – laughter, tears, and all. The resounding theme of every conversation was how God has been faithful – in our families, in our careers, and in our friendships. 

The song “Goodness of God” by CeCe Winans encapsulates it well. In fact, it has been on repeat in my playlist for weeks now. 

Dear Friend, as you reflect on your life – where you’ve been and where you are today, I pray that you will be overwhelmed with gratitude. God is good and His love for us endures forever.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV)
