HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow-

2-Today is a most unusual day because we have never lived it before and will never live it again-

3-It is I, not events, that have the power to make me happy or unhappy today and I can choose which it will be-

4-Yesterday is gone and tomorrow hasn't arrived yet so I have just one day---today-

5-Never let yesterday use up too much of today-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-The batteries were given out free of charge-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Something has to be the first thing on your list-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The first atomic bomb exploded at Trinity Site, New Mexico-

2-Do we "fall into sin" or chose to sin?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   John 1:24-28

²⁴ Some Pharisees who had been sent asked John:²⁵ "If you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet, why do you baptize people?"

 ²⁶ John answered, "I baptize with water, but there is one here with you that you don't know about.²⁷ He is the One who comes after me. I am not good enough to untie the strings of his sandals."

 ²⁸ This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan River, where John was baptizing people.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, it is because of Your wise and loving character that You teach us about the wiles of our adversary, the devil, and his cunning ways. We are not caught unaware but recognize his strategy as we regularly read Your Word and store it up in our hearts. Your precepts are right and because of that we hate every wrong path. Direct our footsteps according to Your Word so that we stay in pace with You, observing the yellow lights of caution, stopping at the red lights of danger, and staying within the confines of Your guardrails. As we do so we will not allow sin to dominate our lives or lead us astray. We pray for Your guidance in Jesus’ name. Amen.

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
