Brighten Your Day

When we moved back to Michigan, I looked up a friend from high school I had lost touch with online. I was surprised that Vicki only lived a few miles from me. I found her phone number and called. It wasn't long, and we were back together.

From that day on, we stayed in contact. I spent a lot of time at the lake with her and her husband, Gary. Almost every day, we sent each other text messages. We shared a lot of ups and downs over these years.

This past year, Vicki died. I was so sad and thought about her every day. Vicki's birthday was coming up this month, and I wondered how God would bring something good out of this day.

Well, God kept His promise and did bring something good out of this day. Our new grandson, Gustave Jozef (Baby G), was born on Vicki's birthday.

This Bible verse is a favorite of mine. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them." Romans 8:28

I know God can and will bring something good out of every situation in our lives. Now when I think of Vicki, I will remember how God surprised me by having our precious grandson be born on her birthday.
