news changes

(c) 2016 LTHurd
​I painted this for a Christmas card a few years ago.  On the cover it said "Read any good news lately?"  Inside it had a verse from the Bible in Luke chapter 2: "The angel said, Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people...in the town of David, a savior has been born...."  I like the thought that news changes. There has been terrible news in history, as there is today. We may hear more immediate and more quantity of news, because technology helps it to travel faster. Good news  is around us, too.  And some news seems more like gossip, as it can expose personal stories. I can feel overwhelmed with all of it. I can hang onto my seat while news unfolds. I can pray for peace and courage to face uncertain days. I can also choose to tune out on some of it. The news will continue to come and reflect the changes going on around us.
