Saturday June 27, 2009 thought for the day

FREEDOM

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-He who wants to keep his garden tidy doesn't reserve a plot for the weeds-

2-When resisting temptation you must not be confused by the immediate results-

3-One thing about having the right attitude is that with it every day has some sunshine-

4-A positive attitude gets you beyond hurdles into opportunities-

5-God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience but shouts in our pain-

STRANGE THOUGHT-There are three kinds of people--the ones who learn by reading, the ones who learn by observation, and the ones who have to touch the fire themselves to learn if it is really hot-

I'VE LEARNED-There is no sin in the bait, the sin is in the bite-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Can you have trust without commitment?

2-Can you trust without loving?

3-Are we blind to the workings of God?

4-Do all things really work for the good of them who love God?

5-When does love confront?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 30

1 I will praise you, Lord, because you rescued me. You did not let my enemies laugh at me.

2 Lord, my God, I prayed to you, and you healed me.

3-You lifted me out of the grave; you spared me from going down to the place of the dead.

4 Sing praises to the Lord, you who belong to him; praise his holy name.

5 His anger lasts only a moment, but his kindness lasts for a lifetime. Crying may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 When I felt safe, I said, "I will never fear."

7 Lord, in your kindness you made my mountain safe. But when you turned away, I was frightened.

8 I called to you, Lord, and asked you to have mercy on me.

9 I said, "What good will it do if I die or if I go down to the grave? Dust cannot praise you; it cannot speak about your truth.

10 Lord, hear me and have mercy on me. Lord, help me."

11 You changed my sorrow into dancing. You took away my clothes of sadness, and clothed me in happiness.

12 I will sing to you and not be silent. Lord, my God, I will praise you forever.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
