[It's winter. Sometimes in winter, one needs to re-instate the series of Here is Good,
in order to remind oneself: Here, [thank you] is Good.]
When your friend feels strongly Led to make a batch of scones,
specifically because she thinks you'll need one
and she's coming to your house that afternoon,
you nibble because: Delicious.
But when the last child is out the door just 10 minutes before you yourself need to get out the door to go host a talk for that other job you have, and you realize that you have no time to eat dinner?
You eat the scone.
And when the night is over and you're not even craving food?
You reflect on: Your Heavenly Father knows what you need,
before you even need it.
And when you text her to thank her and to tell her,
and she tells you about the song she's been listening to all day,
you listen to it.
And you revel in the Truth He's been showing you
and showing you and helping you see,
and which you are not surprised the song to sing:
"When I taste Your Goodness,
I shall not want."
I shall not want, indeed.
And listen, He's already spoken so many things into your life and into your day, so why did He see the need for this sweetly extra thing?
It's because He's Good.
And listen:
Here, thank you, is Good.
And when you text her to thank her and to tell her,
and she tells you about the song she's been listening to all day,
you listen to it.
And you revel in the Truth He's been showing you
and showing you and helping you see,
and which you are not surprised the song to sing:
"When I taste Your Goodness,
I shall not want."
I shall not want, indeed.
And listen, He's already spoken so many things into your life and into your day, so why did He see the need for this sweetly extra thing?
It's because He's Good.
And listen:
Here, thank you, is Good.
