Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Lord, it is good that we are here.” Matthew 17:4a

It is good to be here in this beautiful world of God’s creation.

It is good to be here with people who love me and people I love.

It is good to be here to help myself and others transform indifference, resentment, trauma, grief, and fear into welcome, forgiveness, healing, acceptance, and love.

It is good to be here knowing I am always in the presence of the Lord.

Today I will let God’s love transfigure me. I will look for the good in each moment, in myself, and in all people everywhere.
