All Things Working for Good

The sun is shining brightly in Central Kentucky. It looks like Spring is here to stay, finally. We had a wonderful March Madness run, the Big Blue Nation is so very appreciative of our team of Wildcats for taking us back to the Final Four. We really missed going for twelve years. You just can't imagine all the things being said on the many UK basketball blogs out there. It is crazy to think that we are back to where we like to be and the Louisville followers, even with our former coach, still are unable to get things together at tourney time.

Spring means getting dogs ready for flea season. Having five dogs means a real financial commitment. Between flea treatment and heartworm meds, it can actually cost around a hundred dollars a month to protect these five furry little yappers. And speaking of such, the largest yapper is still out in the yard doing just that. We must have had a whole herd of deer grazing in the yard last night for Pudge to still be investigating all the wonderful smells out there.

Tonight I will finally get to see my world travelling daughter. The kids often make it over for supper once a week, it'll be my first chance to see Christina since her trip to Vietnam. It'll be good to get caught up on how things are going with her new house as well, it's a fixer upper for sure. Dustin is also moving into his new home.....my babies are definitely growing up.

Bible study last night again took us to Romans. Paul sure did pack the letter to the church in Rome with all a Christian needs to live a Christ led life. Romans 8:28 is often targeted as a perfect mantra for us to live our lives as those who truly believe. It is so positive, encouraging and uplifting yet hinges on that one crucial component of being a Christian......making the choice to love God and believe in Him. It states: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Yes, as long as we love God and accept his call of living our lives for Him, all things in our lives will be used for good. I can deal with that. Even though bad will happen, God will use it for good eventually.

Well, I've got a busy day planned and Pudge is still out there making a racket, so I best be getting started. Have a blessed day, luv, Susan
