HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are-

2-You have never really lived until you have done something for someone who can never pay you back-

3-Work for a cause, not applause-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Worship is not about what building you occupy, it is about who occupies you-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Though small, the Shetland pony is strong,  it was once used to haul heavy cars in coal mines-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, You have taught us to be very careful how we live, not as unwise but as wise followers of Jesus, the very essence of Truth. In today’s society of noncommittal attitudes or “whatever rings your bell” way of thinking (or non-thinking) we choose to be committed, sober, and vigilant about the way we live our lives in accordance to what we believe. We walk as sensible, thinking people with a due sense of responsibility, not as those who don’t know or care about the meaning of life here or the life yet to come. We care deeply about the temporal and eternal destiny of our lives and therefore we seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness above all. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.


I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
