Tuesday August 13, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

 

1-You will make mistakes but you are not a failure until you start blaming someone else-

2-Trust God's promises -he will do what he has always done-

3-Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you are looking past the imperfections-

4-Being careful of small things.  A small leak will sink a great ship-

5-Time is free but it is priceless-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-The American cattlemen's association has recently said that you can ask any chicken and they will tell you to eat beef-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Dear God, I have a problem-it's me-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Male cockatoos can be taught to speak, but females can only chirp and sing-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Does forgiveness do anything for the perpetrator?

2-Was Mary still considered a virgin after Jesus' birth?

3-When and where would Joseph and Mary have been buried?

4-Was Judas not a true disciple or did satan use a weakness for money in Judas to get him to betray Jesus?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY  Acts 13:44-47

⁴⁴ On the next Sabbath day, almost everyone in the city came to hear the word of the Lord. ⁴⁵ Seeing the crowd, the Jewish people became very jealous and said insulting things and argued against what Paul said. ⁴⁶ But Paul and Barnabas spoke very boldly, saying, “We must speak the message of God to you first. But you refuse to listen. You are judging yourselves not worthy of having eternal life! So we will now go to the people of other nations. ⁴⁷ This is what the Lord told us to do, saying:

‘I have made you a light for the nations;
    You will show people all over the world the way to be saved.’” Isaiah 49:6

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, thank You for speaking to us through Your Word, other believers, and through serious events in our lives. You beamed Your searchlight from the portals of heaven to show us how lost we were. We’re tremendously blessed to know that celestial beings held a celebration in heaven when we  chose to be Your followers. Though misplacing material things leads to time lost and great frustration, misplacing our faith leads to error and eternal damnation. Father, You’ve shown us the way and instructed us, “This is the way; walk in it.” Help us to seek out others who’ve yet to find the way so that they too will follow You and cause rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
