SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY MARK 5:21-34

21 When Jesus went in the boat back to the other side of the lake, a large crowd gathered around him there.

22 A leader of the synagogue, named Jairus, came there, saw Jesus, and fell at his feet.

23 He begged Jesus, saying again and again, "My daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so she will be healed and will live."

24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed Jesus and pushed very close around him.

25 Among them was a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years.

26 She had suffered very much from many doctors and had spent all the money she had, but instead of improving, she was getting worse.

27 When the woman heard about Jesus, she come up behind him in the crowd and touched his coat.

28 She thought, "If I can just touch his clothes, I will be healed."

29 Instantly her bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed from her disease.

30 At once Jesus felt power go out from him. So he turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

31 His followers said, "Look at how many people are pushing against you! And you ask, "Who touched me?"

32 But Jesus continued looking around to see who had touched him.

33 The woman, knowing that she was healed, came and fell at Jesus' feet. Shaking with fear, she told him the whole truth.

34 Jesus said to her, "Dear woman, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace; be healed of your disease."

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