Friday November 7, 2014 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-Hosea was the prophet of unconditional love-

2-The authors of the gospels were not journalists covering Jesus trying to get all the details of his daily life-

3-Everything that happened in the new testament took place in the days of the Roman Empire-

4-What may be considered truth to one person may be considered heresy by another-

5-Wealth is not what you have, it is what you have been given that enables you to give to others-

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, just as we enjoy the nourishment of food at mealtime to grow us physically, so we enjoy the nourishment of Your Word that builds us spiritually. We have tasted and seen that You are good. Fill us to overflowing through the reading and application of Your Holy Word and through the daily fellowship of Your Holy Spirit. We gladly accept Jesus’ invitation to come and dine at His table of forgiveness, compassion, humility, acceptance, and joy beyond measure. It is a table fit for royalty and peasant alike, for we are one and the same in the eyes of our Creator, the King of kings and Lord of lords. Amen.

 

SMILE, LAUGH, FORGIVE, BELIEVE AND LOVE, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
