GOOD MORNING!!!
A greeting used by the multitudes, every day. Or "Have a blessed day."
But what makes a morning 'good,' or a day 'blessed?' Or, what is the "Lord's Day," that we are supposed to keep?
When we think good, we probably think a morning that is nice, weather good, things running smoothly or NO PROBLEMS! The same with a 'blessed day,' all is well and God is sending 'good' stuff our way. Oh, oh. there is that word 'good' again. Again, what makes a morning 'good,' or the 'Lord's Day, or Blessed?'
If everything must be hunky dory to make it 'good,' is that really how we are blessed? Is the Lord's day only Sunday? Or could it be that good comes from a trial, a tribulation and we are blessed when we see every day as a DAY that the Lord has made for us to rejoice and be glad in NO MATTER WHAT comes ours way.
Look at the reading--"Therefore, I bear with everything for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, together with eternal glory." from 2 Timothy.
When we see any trial or suffering as an opportunity to pray for someone or as a gift to bring us understanding, wisdom, compassion, and discernment ---all gifts from God---then YES THIS IS GOOD and we are BLESSED!. Because we suffer, others can be helped along the way somehow, someway.
Final word is from God Himself--- this one from Thessolonians. "In all circumstances, give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus."
Do this and we will be blessed, we will see good and we will walk with the Lord in His way, His day.
Ya'll have good day now ya hear.

About the Author
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 52 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
