"DADDY'S LITTLE HELPER"
Here are my thoughts for today
1-Habit is like a soft bed, easy to get into and hard to get out of-
2-When your work speaks for itself don't interrupt it-
3-The best antidoted for fear is faith-
4-Keep your ideals high enough to inspire you and low enough to encourage you-
5-Don't depend on the rabbits foot for good luck, it didn't work for him-

Strange thought-you are always doing something marginal when the boss stops by your desk-

I've learned-after you have been your own boss it is hard to work for someone else-

5 things I want to know
1-Are results achieved when we have faith or because we have faith?
2-Can we believe the gospel without living the gospel?
3-Do we ever embarrass God?
4-Is God selective in who he heals?
5-Should Christians be realists or optimists?

Scripture for today-"Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thought-let him turn to the Lord and he will have mercy on him and to our God, for he will freely pardon" Isaiah 55:7

I wish you a day filled with love, laughter, forgiveness and thanksgiving-from jasper

"ISN'T LOVE SWEET"
(Sorry I couldn't get this picture to enlarge-can anyone tell me how to do it)

Here are my thoughts for today-
1Diet-the penalty we pay for exceeding the food limit-
2-When you are good to others you are good to yourself-
3-If you care enough you will do your best-
4-You never get a busy signal on the prayer line to heaven-
5-Only a mediocre person is always at their best-

Strange thought-if you are good you will complete all your assigned word, but if you are really good you'll get someone to do it for you-

I've learned-a person's greatest need is to feel appreciated

5 things I want to know
1-Can we tell a Christian by how they dress?
2-Does the presence of Jesus ever make the Christian uncomfortable?
3-Does a holy life mean a sinless life?
4-Does becoming a Christian mean we try harder and have more discipline?
5-If the sin principle is removed how can we ever sin again?

Scripture for today-Then Jesus said, “Let’s get away from the crowds for a while and rest.” There were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 (NLT)

I wish you a day filled with love, laughter, forgiveness and thanksgiving-jasper

ISN'T THIS AN INTERESTING PICTURE?
Here are my thoughts for today-
1-When a person is down an ounce of help is better than a pound of preaching-
2-Nothing is work unless you're wanting to do something else-
3-Just because you are on a well beaten path does not mean you are on the right road-
4-You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus-
5-When you are having a conversation, give time to listen-

Strange thought-anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work they are supposed to be doing-

I've learned-if there are things about your sweetheart you don't admire, you will like them even less after you marry them-

5 things I want to know
1-Can a person be a Christian and live an undisciplined life?
2-Is the church guilty of promoting feelings of inferiority?
3-Are we guilty of wanting what God does and gives rather than wanting God?
4-How do we accept what Jesus has done for us?
5-What is the primary goal of the Christian?

Scripture for today-"I tell you the truth,whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life" John 5:24
