“That’s because Grandpa Joshua and I bother to do the math.”
“What math?”
“For every big, bad, attention-getting thing that happens, there are thousands of small good ones, acts that might even seem ordinary but really aren’t, so many that we can forget to notice them or to count them up. But it’s what has always amazed me: not how terrible people can be to each other, but how good, in spite of everything.”

A week ago I would have smiled at this and thought, “How lovely.”
Today I needed desperately to read it. Workings of the Spirit…
Thank you! And now I really need to go find that book.
Love to you, dear Faith.
Like Faith, I now want to read this. 🙂
