It just feels good – It just feels good when things turn out for the best.  It is during those times that I can truly rest.

“As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.  Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”  Luke 1:44-45

It Just Feels Good

It just feels good when good news comes;

it can make me so excited, I just want to scream!

There is so much around that can make me sad,

so I fully rejoice when good things outweigh the bad.

It just feels good when things turn out for the best,

it seems like a weight is removed from my shoulders.

It is during those times that I can truly rest.

It just feels good, when my night turns into day;

the light makes everything bright and new.

No more stumbling, or falling for me…

for my path is illuminated; I can clearly find my way.

There is something about good news that just feels good.  Life is full of good things to celebrate…getting accepted into the college of your choice, being offered that new job you’ve been longing for, finding out that the first grandchild in the family is soon to be born…I could go on and on.  My inspiration for this poem came from the scripture verses above, where the baby in Elizabeth’s womb, who would grow up to be John the Baptist, leaped for joy when Mary, pregnant with Jesus Christ, arrived.  Unlike the joy that we have because of the wonderful things that we get to experience and celebrate here on earth, the infant John’s joy was based on something far better.  His joy was based on the promise of the coming of our Lord and Savior being fulfilled.  That is not news that just feels good…it is good…it is the Good News!

May your day be filled with the good things in life…and may your good news be the Good News that truly counts.

Peace and love,

Felecia

On Rejoicing

On Rejoicing

rejoicingA Quote to Carry You

December 22, 2014

“And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies The Lord and my spirit rejoices in God.'” Luke 1:46-47

There is a time for everything…and this is a time for rejoicing!  Soon Christians throughout the world will gather to celebrate the birth of the child who was to be called “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6).  Perhaps in these current times, it is hard to believe that one such as that exists at all.  But on that night so long ago, God reached down in perfect love to mankind, and gave to us a gift that only He could give…one that He promises to continue to fulfill in us still today.

May you, like Mary, open up your heart and soul and believe what our creator has promised…and be filled with a spirit of rejoicing.

Peace and love,

Felecia
