SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY MARK 5:35-43

35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of the synagogue leader. They said, "Your daughter is dead. There is no need to bother the teacher any more."

36 But Jesus paid no attention to what they said. He told the synagogue leader, "Don't be afraid; just believe."

37 Jesus let only Peter, James, and John the brother of James go with him.

38 When they came to the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus found many people there making lots of noise and crying loudly.

39 Jesus entered the house and said to them. "Why are you crying and making so much noise? The child is not dead, only asleep"

40 But they laughed at him. So, after throwing them out of the house, Jesus took the child's father and mother and his three followers into the room where the child was.

41 Taking hold of the girl's hand, he said to her, "Talitha, koum!" (This means, "Young girl, I tell you to stand up!")

42 At once the girl stood right up and began walking. (She was twelve years old.) everyone was completely amazed.

43 Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell people about this. Then he told them to give the girl something to eat.

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