A small boy stated that when he got older he wanted to wear glasses just like Granny’s. When asked why, he said it was because she could see things others could not see.  She can see good in a person when everyone else can only see the bad. Smart boy.  How different our world would be if we all saw good in others instead of accentuating that which is negative.  We are in the midst of an election year.  Candidates point out for us all the negatives of their opponent.  Can you imagine how different it would be if we heard one candidate extolling the virtues of another?

       When God looked down from His heaven after Adam and Eve sinned, He saw good in His creation.  Since that time, God has been attempting to bring man back into a relationship with him.  That was the reason Jesus came, lived among us, died on a cross, was buried and rose on the third day.  He did all of this because God saw good in you and me. Since God was able to see good in you, don’t you think it would be appropriate that you look for good in others?  Go put on a pair of Granny’s glasses and begin seeing the good in your wife, husband, children, job, employer, government, and even your worst enemy.  You will be glad you did. 

Please come and worship with us on Sunday, and remember: EVERYONE is welcome here!
