God Works for the Good of Those Who Love Him

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. — Romans 8:28 

In all things, God works for our good.

And for the good of all those who love Him.

For those of us who have been called according to His purpose.

For years, Kirk shared with his students some of his characteristics that are uncannily similar to those of Abraham Lincoln.

Kirk was born on February 12, 1959; Abe was born on Feburary 12, 1809 - 150 years apart.

They have a very similar facial profile, with almost the same nose.

Their shoe size and heights are the same.

They both have gray eyes.

Abraham Lincoln’s first adult job was as a store clerk. Kirk's first adult job was as a store clerk for Vons Grocery Company.

Abraham Lincoln died on April 15, 1865. Kirk’ s grandfather died on April 15, 1975. Exactly 110 years apart.

This week, our niece Maggie found this geneology chart that shows that Abe is Kirk's 4th cousin four times removed!

God's plan is amazing.

In all things, He works for our good.
