Saturday August 18, 2012 thought for the day




HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-Peace is not made at conference tables or by treaties but in the hearts of men-
2-Peace of the soul consists of an absolute resignation to the will of God-
3-Peace is not real peace until it has been tested in the storm-
4-You will never find peace and happiness until you are ready to commit yourself to something worth dying for-
5-To know inner calm in spite of everything is serenity-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT-If tomatoes are a fruit, does that make ketchup a smoothie?
 
I'VE LEARNED-Silence is not the same as peace.  Silence is the absence of noise and peace is the presence of God.
 
DID YOU KNOW-The United States Golf Association was founded in 1894 as the governing body of golf in the United States-
 
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-How is the eye the light of the body?
2-If you are generous to others, will others be generous to you.
3-Why are we judged the way we judge others?
4-The Bible says "judge not that you be not judged".  Is that to say that there is no appropriate judgement?
5-Does "doing to others the way you want others to do to you" always work?
 
BIBLE TRIVIA-Who killed Hamor and Shechem for offending their sister Dinah?
Yesterday's answer-   David  2 Samuel 12:9
 
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Matthew  26:1-5
1 After Jesus finished saying all these things, he told his followers, 2 "You know that the day after tomorrow is the day of the Passover Feast. On that day the Son of Man will be given to his enemies to be crucified."
 3 Then the leading priests and the elders had a meeting at the palace of the high priest, named Caiaphas. 4 At the meeting, they planned to set a trap to arrest Jesus and kill him.5 But they said, "We must not do it during the feast, because the people might cause a riot."

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Praying manGod You have made Your wonders to be acknowledged, appreciated and acclaimed throughout the earth. Your presence is seen and felt in that which is visible and that which is hidden from the human eye. All of creation is a result of Your design and handiwork. I acknowledge You as the Creator of the universe and the Light of my life. My strength lies in You and therefore I pledge my allegiance to You, my Lord and Master. Amen.


TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE. TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND.
