GET TO

In Regina Brett’s Book ‘God Never Blinks’ from the first chapter, ‘Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good,’ she tells the story of Frank. She wrote:

“The hat always came back, more faded yet stronger than ever.
 
Frank started it. 

I had undergone my first chemotherapy and couldn’t imagine being bald. Then I saw a guy wearing a baseball cap bearing these words: Life is good. 

Life didn’t feel good and it was about to feel worse, so I asked the guy where he got the hat. Two days later, Frank drove across town and stopped by my house and gave me one. Frank is a magical kind of guy. A house painter by trade, he lives by two simple words:
Get to. 

They remind him to be grateful for everything. Instead of saying, “I have to go to work today,” Frank tells himself, “I get to go to work.” Instead of saying, “I have to get groceries,” he gets to. Instead of saying, “I have to take the kids to baseball practice,” he gets to. It works for everything. 

The hat on anyone but Frank might not have carried the same power. It was navy blue with an oval patch that announced its message in white letters. Life Is Good.”

(The story continues with many people being given The Hat who were going through chemotherapy and it became a movement. Life Is Good. Get to.)

“And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you?” Jesus
