Uppers and Downers

I haven't felt much like writing this week.  So many things have happened.  I am a little down one minute and a little up the next.  We had two boys baptized this week.  This is an upper for sure.  Angels rejoicing along with us.  But then a young man died in a car accident.  That is a downer for his family and friends.  He is so missed.  Another upper is that the senior class of which the young man was a member gave all their Project Graduation money to his family! 

We have downers so to speak to help us grow.  If all we had were uppers we would take them for granted. And most of the time we do.

 We need to grow.  We need to accept and rejoice no matter what comes our way.  Jesus died for us.  That is the biggest upper!

  1. Sorry about the young man that was killed. The name did not sound familiar. God is good and gracious and HE will send amazing people to comfort those in grief. I am praying for everyone. What a great story about the graduation money. Memories! Take care and lean on the King!

  2. Amen! I'm sorry for the downers you have experienced this week. I rejoice in the uppers. God will guide you through both and the unexplained peace through it all is the comforter giving you rest in Him.
