Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy

Psalms 23:6 NKJV

Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Debbie Macomber wrote a series of Christmas books with the angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy. These angels are put in charge of following around a needy soul to help them out at Christmas time. After hearing of these books, and I believe a couple of Hallmark movies, I have never been able to read this verse the same. Is it really that stretch of the imagination to see three angels following us around trying to help us if we will only let them?

Here is the real scene. You always have access to goodness and mercy. You are dripping with it. It is your choice to use them. It is your choice to follow them. You decide whom you shall extend this goodness and mercy. You won’t run out of it, so why not give everyone around a little bit of it? Is it really too much to ask to exude goodness and mercy everywhere you go? Maybe you can help Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy and spread a little Christmas cheer all year long!

Lord, You have shown me goodness and mercy all of my days and now it is time for me to pass that on to others. ~amen
