TOO GOOD

The yogurt cup lids are teaching us a lesson ... and more than one at that. Just consider this. 

The yogurt cups are picked out of the box at the store. They are dropped on the checkout belt, placed in the cart, and then packed in the bag. At home, they are removed from the bag, put on the counter, and then stacked in the refrigerator. Twice a week,  the front two cups are taken out of the refrigerator for breakfast. 

There is so much random handling of these yogurt cups. From packaging to distribution to purchasing to consumption, every step along the supply chain can be considered a random process. Yet, every single time, without fail, the messages on the inside of the two yogurt cup lids chosen on a given day are different. They may repeat from day to day, or week to week, but the two selected for a particular day are always different. 

What are the odds? How can this happen? The messages themselves give you a "feel good" lesson for the day, but the amazing hand of the Lord to ensure that two unique messages are received every day, is bewildering. 

O Lord, thank you abundantly for your amazing grace. May we make every day good as we surround ourselves with Your goodness. Amen.
