TELL ME WHAT'S RIGHT!

Someone said it quite well, Don’t tell me what’s wrong; tell me what’s right. Don’t you just love optimistic thinking? Of course, there are no specifics here. We don’t even know what the person was talking about. But, couldn’t it fit just about any situation?

Family life would be a perfect fit. Now, there’s rarely a single one of us that doesn’t have some situation in our family that’s less than perfect. . .tell me what’s right! What about the good relationships we share, the fun we’ve had and still have? What about the plans we’ve made and the good, wholesome time spent together?

Community life would be another perfect fit. More has been closed down here than is still running—in the tire testing and gas world anyway. 100’s have moved from here looking for a better job or to retire. It’s less than perfect but. . .tell me what’s right! It’s all coming back. We are optimistic. New businesses! New people! But, also. it’s Our Town! Our friends are here. People we serve with are here. People support people and you’ve never seen a town come together better in a crisis situation. And, we’ve had quite a few. This is Our Town--just about the best bunch of folks you’ve ever run across.

Church life would be another perfect fit. We have shrunk, primarily due to what was said above—about Our Town! You don’t have to get here early to get a front seat. Religion has been on the downturn in our area. . .but tell me what’s right! There’s always hope. There are those who still love the Lord and want to make a difference. We would love to have quick fix answers but they are not available. But there are those ready to work to change the situation because God is forever changing people. Movers & Shakers, no, we don’t have that many, but with His help; we will overcome. We would love to have you share all that with us. Won’t you come be with us?

Let me tell you what’s always right: He loves you and we do too. Don’t ever for get that. That’s what’s right! (Jno. 3:16).
