Saturday April 21, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle-

2-As you grow older you generally rid yourself of your short comings because they no longer serve any useful purpose-

3-The good side of getting older is that you are always younger than you will ever be-

4-The person who thinks they are too old to learn something has probably always been that way-

5-Your attitude can decide the outcome of your life-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Anybody who knows all about nothing knows everything-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Always listen to your heart for even though it is on your left side, it is always right-

 

DID YOU KNOW-One hundred sixty cars can drive side by side on the Monumental Axis in Brazil, the world's widest road-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Does God see the dreadful things that go on in this life and chooses not to interfere?

2-Did Jesus ask God if a cross less life was possible?

3-Did God hear Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane asking him to take the cup of suffering away from him?

4-Is it correct to say that no struggle or tragedy will come our way apart from God's purpose, presence and permission?

5-Is it correct to say that no evil can touch God's children unless he permits it?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Matthew 9:14-17

Jesus' Followers Are Criticized

 ¹⁴ Then the followers of John^[a] came to Jesus and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees often fast^[b] for a certain time, but your followers don't?"  ¹⁵ Jesus answered, "The friends of the bridegroom are not sad while he is with them. But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.
    ¹⁶ "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth over a hole in an old coat. If he does, the patch will shrink and pull away from the coat, making the hole worse. ¹⁷ Also, people never pour new wine into old leather bags. Otherwise, the bags will break, the wine will spill, and the wine bags will be ruined. But people always pour new wine into new wine bags. Then both will continue to be good."
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, we know there is a deeper work within our soul which cannot be accomplished by mere physical exercise. Just as we train our bodies to submit to a rigorous routine of endurance, abstinence, and sacrifice, we must apply the same training tools to bring our spirits into submission to Your will for our lives. We must train ourselves to be godly. Though physical training is of value in this life, godliness has value for all things, and holds promise not only for the present life but also the life to come. Help us to pursue this noble task in Jesus name we pray. Amen.

LAUGHTER IS GOOD EXERCISE, IT IS LIKE JOGGING ON THE INSIDE!
