 Good Morning with God

Ezekiel 35:1–15
Guarding My Heart

This morning, Ezekiel 35 quietly invited me to examine my own heart.

Edom rejoiced when God’s people suffered. Instead of grieving, they looked for gain. Instead of compassion, they chose resentment and hostility.

As I read, I realized this passage is not only about Edom.

It also asks me an honest question.

Have I ever envied someone else’s blessings?

Have I quietly felt satisfied when someone I struggled to love experienced failure?

Have I been too quick to explain another person’s hardships while forgetting how much grace I myself have received?

Lord, forgive me.

I confess that compassion does not naturally grow in my heart.

Without Your Spirit, I can easily become proud, judgmental, and unkind.

Forgive me for the moments when I have looked at others with criticism instead of mercy.

Apart from Your grace, I too could fall.

Teach me not to be troubled by the success of evil, nor to take pleasure when another person stumbles.

Remind me that I also stand each day only because of Your mercy.

Father,

Grant me wisdom and favor today.

As I begin this day with Your Word, help me understand it more deeply than simply reading the words on the page.

Let Your Word search my heart before I ever examine someone else’s.

Shape my heart to become more like Yours—

slow to judge,

quick to show mercy,

and always grateful for the grace You have poured out on me.

Amen.


Today’s Reflection

As I finished today’s meditation, one thought quietly remained with me.

The opposite of Edom’s heart is the heart of Christ.

Instead of rejoicing when people fell, Jesus met them with mercy and gently called them back to God.

That reminds me that the purpose of God’s Word is not simply to help me recognize sin in others, but to allow Him to transform my own heart first.

Lord, let my heart become more like Yours today.

— HappyKay

Resort 2027: When Fashion Becomes Wearable Art Runway Inspiration,  Mary Katrantzou Resort 2027 When I studied fashion many years ago, one designer immediately came to mind as I looked through the Resort 2027 collections— Etro . The rich ornamental prints, painterly landscapes, and cultural influences reminded me of the kind of storytelling that fashion can carry beyond clothing itself. This season doesn’t feel like it’s chasing minimalism. Instead, it celebrates artistry. Not loud for the sake of being loud, but expressive in a thoughtful way. Deep sapphire blues, warm earthy browns, touches of gold, and prints that resemble marble, landscapes, and even Oriental paintings all come together like wearable canvases. What I find especially interesting is that these pieces aren’t simply floral dresses. Many of them feel almost like walking paintings. Fashion is borrowing from art again. My Interpretation Looking at these collections, I don’t believe the message is: “Everyo...

  HappyKay Learning | AI, Education & Future Careers If AI Does the Beginner’s Work, How Will Our Children Ever Become Experts? I recently came across a story about a new kind of law firm called Crosby. At first, what caught my attention was simple: AI is reviewing legal contracts. Crosby describes itself not simply as a software company selling AI to lawyers, but as an AI-native law firm. Its AI agents process contract work while experienced lawyers remain involved for legal judgment and accuracy. The firm says it stands behind its work and carries malpractice insurance. Crosby says that when it launched in 2025, its median contract review time was 58 minutes. By 2026, it was experimenting with things such as simulated responses to contract redlines and voice agents for negotiations.

  MOTHER & DAUGHTER · LEARNING Can Middle and High School Students Take Real College Classes? What I Learned as a Mom Recently, I heard something that made me curious: Can students take real college classes before they are actually in college? I wasn’t looking for another way to push my daughter ahead. She is still young, and I don’t want childhood to become one long college application. But I wondered whether there might eventually be a class that could genuinely expand something she already loves—writing, history, STEM, government, or another subject she becomes curious about. So I started looking. And I discovered that there are several very different ways students can experience college-level learning before college. First: AP and College Courses Are Not the Same Thing I used to put all of these programs into roughly the same category, but they work differently. With AP (Advanced Placement) , students generally take a college-level course while in high school and ...
