Why is it that good news and bad news often come so close together?
This morning I heard that my daughter had been successful in a job interview and will be starting her dream job in London next week. After five years of higher education she is now ready to earn some money and start her career. So many emotions together - elation, fear, apprehension, but mainly excitement!
Then, this afternoon, the sort of bad news about a friend that makes you stop in your tracks and feel awful because you can do nothing to make the situation better, except pray. Thank God that in all situations we can go to him in prayer.
