Sunday December 21, 2008 thought for the day



THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS
Here are my thoughts for today-
1-When God shows mercy to you, you can't be anything but grateful-
2-Most people in the Bible that God blessed and used were less than "perfect" people-
3-If you want to know God, get to know Jesus-
4-Success is more a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius-
5-Where we start is not as important as where we finish-

Strange thought-You will never have true friends if you are afraid of making enemies-

I've learned-The best thing to put on your face is a smile-

5 things I want to know
1-Did the angelic choir announce Jesus birth only to the shepherds?
2-Why were the shepherds told of the birth of the "lamb of God"?
3-Why didn't God announce to the whole world that the savior and redeemer had come?
4-Why was Jesus's birth held in secrecy from the multitudes?
5-How did the shepherds know where to find the manger that held the baby Jesus?

Scripture for today-After the wise men heard the king, they left. The star they had seen in the east went before them until it stopped above the place where the child was. When the wise men saw the star, they were filled with joy. They came to the house where the child was and saw him with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped him. They opened their gifts and gave him treasures of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But God warned the wise men in a dream not to go back to Herod, so they returned to their own country a different way. Matthew 2:9-12

I wish you a day filled with love, laughter, forgiveness and thanksgiving-jasper
