Perspective

I broke a tooth.  Probably during sleep on Sunday night.  I woke up with my jaw aching, and when I water flossed my teeth, a piece of tooth came out.  I went to the dentist this morning.

Breaking a tooth is not a good thing.   But luckily for me, visiting my dentist is a good thing.  He is a kind and wonderful faith-filled person, and I actually love seeing him.

Today was a really good visit.  He filed the sharp edge off my broken tooth, and we made a repair plan.  And we talked.  And shared joy with each other.

I know I left his office in a better mood (which I expected) but I think I brightened his day too.

You know I believe God is active in my life every day.  Today, it felt like he sent me to tell my dentist the story I told him, and to share the video with him I shared with him.

God is ever present!  He will work through you - all you have to do is notice.

Lead with love, seek the joy, cling to hope.  

Every day is another opportunity to find perspective on our lives, and to discover the good we can do.

Never be afraid to tell stories that share and spread joy.  Our love of God and His love of us is a joyful love.  The best ministry of all is sharing that joyful love as much as we can.
