2-When the going gets easier, check to make sure you are not going downhill-

3-You can let your own light shine without blowing out the other person's light-

4-We learn from our own mistakes and most of us never lack for study materials-

5-Happiness is living each day as if it were the first day of a marriage and the last day of a vacation-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Education replaces stubborn ignorance with thoughtful uncertainty-

I'VE LEARNED-Open yourself to change but don't lose your values-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY MARK 4:10-12

10 Later, when Jesus was alone, the twelve apostles and others around him asked him about the stories.

11 Jesus said, "You can know the secret about the kingdom of God. But to other people I tell everything by using stories

12 so that: They will look and look, but they will not learn. They will listen and listen, but they will not understand. If they did learn and understand, they would come back to me and be forgiven."

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