Saturday December 20, 2008 thought for the day

A PRETTY NATIVITY SCENE
Here are my thoughts for today-
1-Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident-it is not a matter of circumstances but of choice, so choose a life that matters-
2-If you're not thankful for little things you won't be thankful for much-
3-Whether we are on the mountain top or down in the valley, God is still God-
4-Richness is a state of mind, not how much money you have-
5-People who are least concerned about making an impression are usually free from depression-

Strange thought-there are millions of excuses for failure but not a single reason-

I've learned-having a lot of money makes you wealthy, not rich-having no money makes you broke, not poor-

5 things I want to know
1-Why did the star lead the Magi to Jerusalem and not directly to Bethlehem?
2-Why didn't King Herod send his own people to find the new "King of the Jews"?
3-Why weren't the Jews looking for the messiah in Bethlehem?
4-If the shepherds came to the manger, who watched the sheep?
5-How many shepherds actually came to the manger?

Scripture for today-Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea during the time when Herod was king. When Jesus was born, some wise men from the east came to Jerusalem. They asked, "Where is the baby who was born to be the King of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him". When Herod heard this, he was troubled, as well as all the people of Jerusalem. Herod called a meeting of all the leading priests and teachers of the law and asked them where the Christ would be born. Matthew 2:1-4

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