    I want to share something amazing that happened this week.  Amber received a package from her mother.   Our first response was how can this be?  Then immediately we both wanted to know what was inside.  In order to experience the significance I have to explain to you the circumstances surrounding the delivery.  This past weekend Amber made a visit to her dad’s house.  While she was there she and other family members cut squares out of Amber’s mom’s clothes for a memory quilt.  While they were cutting out squares they pulled out pictures of her mom wearing those clothes and they decided how neat a quilt would be with pictures on it.  So they picked a few but were having trouble narrowing down which ones to use.

    The package from Amber’s mother contained a letter and a picture.  The picture was one of Amber when she was little that her mother had restored and blown up.  The letter said “I love this one.  I sure hope you like it too.  I love you, mom.”

    The postmark on the package was April 2^nd.  Her mother died a few weeks later.  Apparently the package has been sitting at the post office since then.  We received a note from the post office Monday asking us to pick up mail.  So the timing was incredible.  God’s timing is always right!  “For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.”  (Rom. 5:6 NAS)

 Have a blessed week, Michael & Amber

    How often do things turn out differently than we had hoped?

    How often do we find ourselves in a situation that we don’t like, and we are disappointed that it turned out the way that it did?

    Sometimes we are supposed to rise up in prayer and fight until we get the victory. Other times we are supposed to “make the best of it.” We should pray and ask for wisdom to know which of these is best.

    Paul mentions in Philippians how being in jail had actually worked to further the spread of the gospel.

    The Lord exalted him to a high position and helped many people!

    Paul’s attitude of “making the best of it,” not only allowed him to minister and witness, but it also was an encouraging example for others. Wouldn’t it be great, if we could be like that? We can!

    Joseph also “made the best” of a bad situation and saw God’s hand in it. Even though he had been deserted, sold in to slavery, falsely accused and put in jail, Joseph “made the best of it,” and kept on trusting God.

    The Lord exalted him to a high position and helped many people, including his own family. Speaking to his brothers, Joseph says, “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive” (Genesis 50:20).

    The next time you find yourself in a difficult situation resist having a “pity party” and feeling sorry for yourself. Like Paul and Joseph, “make the best of it.” Maybe God is doing something that you don’t see at the time. Perhaps the way you handle it could be an encouragement to those who observe you. Who knows, God may be using your time of trial to prepare the way to be a blessing to many more people than you could ever know. “Make the best of it” and watch God work. -  M. Barres

God bless you all and have a great week,

Michael
