missing...nothing

I miss my friends from Greenville (and from Michigan) very much. But I love having our blog community at Bensfriends because I can go and read and see what is going on in their lives and know that they are well and that God is good. But to my shame, sometimes am envious. I think, “Why can’t I be there where all of these good, godly friends are?” And from there it is easy for my wicked heart to say, God is holding out on me. I should have friends here and fireplaces and brownies too.
But God gently reminds me that He is good.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!
