Heard any good news lately?
If you watch the evening news, or the morning news for that matter, trying to find a story that includes "good news" is about as easy as finding your lost staff training week name tag after shooting the all kamp staff photo over at K2. You may never find it to get back into the Chuck Wagon at Kwest.
Proverbs 15:30 says, "Good news puts fat on the bones!" and we sure had some today in Kuk land.
Our lead mechanic Loren Butrick found out that he had a clean bill of health today. We had been praying about some suspicious spots on his lungs and had been battling fears of pending bad news. What a relief to hear good news about his health.
This morning a couple of the directors took him and the mechanics staff a box of donuts (with the Proverb written on top). As he was telling the story about the doctor sharing the good news with him, his face lit up like a 6 year old boy on Christmas morning opening his dream gift! Small tears found their way into the corner of his eyes as he spoke of the love, concern, and prayers of the Kanakuk family, and how much they had meant to him. He also gave credit to God's grace and handywork in it all.
Good news. We don't hear enough of it any more today. When we do, it literally puts "fat" on the bones. It's a pick me up feeling that strengthens all of us.
If you read this and have some good news to share, please leave a comment. I would love to rejoice with you the Christmas season and get a little extra fat on this skinny frame.
