Thursday March 5, 2009 thought for today

PRETTY SCENE
Here are my thoughts for today
1-God did not write solo parts for very many of us for he expects us to be participants in the great symphony of life-
2-"Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously"-
3-For many wealthy people, giving a tenth is a way of robbing God, their tithe becomes a tip-
4-From a biblical perspective, the amount or percentage we give to God is nod the real issue, it is the givers attitude-
5-Our faith becomes practical when it is expressed in two books-the date book and the check book-

Strange thought-No one ever says "oh, it's just a game!" when they are winning-

I've learned-It is good to remember that the tea kettle, although it is up to it's neck in hot water, continues to sing-

5 things I want to know
1-Why are Christians not afraid to commit the sin of worry?
2-Is it ever too late to do what is right?
3-When was Jesus's actual birthday?
4-Can evil exist without the cooperation of good people?
5-Is there anything that cannot be forgiven?

Scripture for today Proverbs 17:22-28
22 A happy heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit drains your strength.
23 When the wicked accept money to do wrong there can be no justice.
24 The person with understanding is always looking for wisdom, bud the mind of a fool wanders everywhere.
25 A foolish son makes his father sad and causes his mother great sorrow.
26 It is not good to punish the innocent or to beat leaders for being honest.
27 The smart person says very little, and one with understanding stays calm.
28 Even fools seem to be wise if they keep quiet, if they don't speak, they appear to understand.

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