Nov 17, 2025 – Good Things

I bought a mug, that makes me smile each time I see/use it, at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in DC when I was helping Carrie after her ankle surgery in August. It’s made by “People I’ve Loved” and on the bottom of the mug are the words,

                   “Focusing on the good stuff + Time = You might feel better.”

On the mug in thick bolded uppercase letters are the words, “ONLY GOOD THINGS”. All around the rest of the mug are whimsical little drawings with words/short statements below them that bring me joy and calmness. Here are a few of them (still want to figure out how to add photos to the blog): “LAZY DAYS, FEELING THE EARTH UNDER YOU, PIZZA, LONG HOT SHOWERS, CHOCOLATE, REMEMBERING SOMETHING YOU HAD FORGOTTEN….” 

JC – “Be content to be a simple sheep, listening for My voice and following Me. I will lead you into restful green pastures and guide you along paths of righteousness.”

Prevail #321 – Philemon 1:6 – “[I pray] that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgement of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” (emphasis mine)

Utmost – “The promises of God are of no value to us until by obedience we understand the nature of God. We read some things in the Bible 365 times and they mean nothing to us; then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up.”
