STRANGE THOUGHT-Clothes line-solar powered laundry dryer-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Just because it pops into my head does not mean it should come out of my mouth-

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Mark 9:38-41

³⁸ Then John said, “Teacher, we saw someone using your name to force demons out of a person. We told him to stop, because he does not belong to our group.”

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him, because anyone who uses my name to do powerful things will not easily say evil things about me. ⁴⁰ Whoever is not against us is with us. ⁴¹ I tell you the truth, whoever gives you a drink of water because you belong to the Christ will truly get his reward.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, there are many troubling situations that weigh our heart down when that is our sole focus.  But You want us to bring these troubles to You in prayer, entrust them to Your care, and be joyful on our journey. Nehemiah reminds us, “The joy of the Lord is my strength.” We want to have a joyful disposition so that we can bring cheer to those around us. In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen

 

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