Tuesday September 11, 2007 thought for the day


9-11-01 A DAY WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!-OR HAVE WE?-HAVE WE GONE BACK TO THE DAYS PRIOR TO THE ATTACK OF FEELING COMFORTABLE AND SMUG?-FOLLOWING THE ATTACK WE AS A NATION FELL TO OUR KNEES ASKING GOD TO HELP US AND TO SAVE US FROM EVIL-HOW SOON WAS THAT COLLECTIVE FEELING OVER AND ARE WE NOW BACK TO OUR OLD WAYS OF SINFUL LIVING?-WAS IT AN ATTACK ALLOWED BY GOD CALLING US TO REPENTANCE?-IF SO, WILL HE HAVE TO SEND A REMINDER CALL, AND IF SO, WILL WE LISTEN THEN?
Here are my thoughts for today-
1-Forgiveness does not require you to face the offender-often you can't and sometime you
shouldn't-
2-Forgiveness does not okay the offense or endorse the offender-
3-Forgiveness is not an invitation to continue the wrong behavior-
4-Forgiving is not forgetting-(in spite of what you have been taught)-
5-Even when you have forgiven, complete or partial restoration is often impossible and unwise-

Strange thought-Did Noah keep his bees in an archive?

I've learned-it is a lot easier to react than to think!!!

Today's Scripture
“And Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.’ He said, ‘Come!’ So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus” (Matthew 14:28-29 AMP
I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!-jasper
