God Is Good All The Time

"God is so good. God is so good. God is so good, He's so good to me, AMEN"
Through the help of his older sister, my 2 year old is learning about saying the blessing before eating a meal. I love watching my 5 year old explain the importance of thanking God for our food. Sometimes it is with real love, and wanting to teach him something she's learned. Sometimes, she is bossy, and too informative when he forgets. (I can't imagine where she gets that!) But all the while, my boy loves to sing "God is so good" for his blessing. And it is really very sweet. This morning, he came to the kitchen to ask for something to eat. (he doesn't talk well, so you basically understand only one word out of his sentence, and that is "EAT!"). I said, "OK, you want to eat?" and he imediately became excited, he started jumping up and down, and began singing "God is so good". His enthusiasm for giving thanks is exactly what we should all have. I should look for more opportunities to proclaim how good my God is. I should praise Him with the excitement of a 2 year old. I know my God is good. He gets me through each day. He helps me through my failures. He loves me despite my lack of faith. He forgives me despite the magnitude of my sins. I have much to sing about! "God is so good. God is so good. God is so good, He's so good to me, AMEN!"
