Speak life for tomorrow Today…
I say, I am still confident that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! I love that scripture, it is one that provides hope for tomorrow. It does not bog me down with the circumstances of today. I can smile not because the situation I find myself in is pleasant, but because I trust there will be a better moment or day coming! It is not denial… it is seeing what is before me with a future hope. A head held down may not witness the sun rising, may not witness a hand reaching out to help. I look forward that I may see and be open for the goodness that is on its way. Sickness and death is here, but so is healing and overcoming. Tomorrow begins with the effort put in today, give hope your attention and a little energy!

A beautiful and powerful voice of truth you bring, adds to the brightness of the day. I agree with you on the choice of our perspectives, there is energy of healing along with all the suffering. I love how you make it clear with these words – A head held down may not witness the sun rising, may not witness a hand reaching out to help.
