Today I had the privilege of officiating at a renewal of wedding vows for a wonderful Christian couple celebrating 60 years of marriage.  It was an absolute joy.

Today I also had the privilege of officiating at the funeral of a wonderful Christian woman who went to heaven after 90 years of life on this earth.  It was an absolute joy.

This got me to thinking.  Believers in Jesus are children of a God who works in all things for their spiritual benefit; who faithfully cares for, blesses, directs and protects them; and who has the best possible future for them in heaven. So in a sense, Christians don't have any "down" days.  We truly can rejoice in the Lord always.
