I’m a Yankee; my husband Norm is a rebel. Our accents and slang have often revealed the difference; at times I’ve been clueless. If asked how he was doing, he’d said fair to middling. I had no idea what he meant. What in the world?

World travelers might have heard the expression but I had not. Learning that a good definition is so-so, I understand. He wasn’t feeling really bad; yet, he wasn’t 100% either. My answer to the same question often requires no verbal response; I simply hold up my right hand and rock it side to side. That’s how I say so-so!

How’re you doin’ today?

God’s grace is sufficient. The Lord is with us on our fair to middling days; He'll strengthen us when we’re weary and weak.

“And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NASB).”

Accept His grace today.

I sincerely hope you’re having much better than a fair to middling day. I’m in agreement with Apostle John.

“Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health physically just as you are spiritually (3 John 1:2 HCSB).”
