2 Corinthians 5:17

Have you ever seen the “Duck pond” game at carnivals or fairs? It’s fun, easy, and everyone gets a prize. You just pick a duck and match the ducks number to the prize on the shelf. Wouldn’t it be great if life was like that? Be a winner every day, no wants or needs all day every day? Let’s think about that further. If we had all we ever wanted, would we need Jesus? I’m thinking not. God allows us to go through trials, rough patches and some pretty bad times, so we may come to Him, surrender to Him and cry out to Him. Sure, life can really take a toll on us and make us feel like we will never stand upright again. But God makes all things new; we can stand firm with courage knowing His strength and faithfulness will carry us through all situations. So, I’m choosing God’s way and putting my ducks back in the pond! Have a blessed day, πŸ™‚ – Lori Moore
