Some days just go better than others. There are occasions when we have some control over what is going on in our world. It never ceases to amaze me how often people will make bad decisions which then direct the course of life. Doing the right thing is never out of style. Now there are other times when events surprise you. This can be good or it can be bad. Here is the moment when only you can choose how you respond. Let me come back to the idea of this being a very good day. It was busy but the results are in the plus category.

My youngest had a meeting at school concerning a possible class outing to San Antonio. Someone built a theme park specifically suited for people with special needs. So today I made my way to learn more about this excursion. We all decided to attempt this trip toward the end of May. He is quite the excited young man now. Tonight he spent time looking at the website of this park. His calendar now has his hand written reminder about when we are going. Yes, I will be going unless something falls through. You could not keep me from it after watching his enthusiasm about going. The one drawback will be his constant reminders between now and then. It is still more than worth it to share his joy.

My daughter goes to college next year. She and her future roommate applied for housing at a residence college there on campus. Exclusive is the term that comes to mind when thinking about the arrangement. We refer to the place as "Hogwarts" after the Harry Potter movies. The students eat together, study together and build relationships over their college years. Our mailbox included a letter from this residence today. It took all of my effort not to open it before she saw it. We learned that she is a finalist for a room there. Emotions ran amok yet again at home upon receiving this news. Very little is better in life than sharing good news with your children.

Here comes the application. Being a part of good things with others is a highlight of human experience. Believers can do this often in relating God's goodness to people. You do not have to be a bible scholar to just let others know how you believe. All that is required is to be real about your relationship with God. No one can argue your journey of faith. When you talk about the good news in your life then it builds a bridge for others to cross. Maybe you have that fear of rejection if someone hears your story in a negative light. Just remember you already live with divine acceptance. Faith is part of your life so you can feel natural talking about it. You may find that your good news will enable others to discover it for themselves.
