Keeping the bad out of our lives is a full time job. Rejecting judgmental censure from others. Rejecting the stuff someone might try to dump on you from their bad day. Rejecting the stress of your child's poor choice and letting them suffer a consequence instead. Theres's a ton of bad out there bumping into us from every side but it's not all that there is.
There's also good. There's something marvelous about letting beauty in. Letting people bless you with a sincere compliment. Letting your husband prop his chin on your head and squeeze you half to death. Letting your child rub your tummy because they love to. Letting your heart explode admiring the moon or the mountains or a sunset. Letting a thrill go through you as you anticipate something new. Letting Gods word rest in your heart each morning. The good needs in but we have to let it. It's something I was reading about in my Boundaries book and it settled into my heart.
