FRIENDS

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Happiness and growth come not by clinging to the past but by looking to the future-

2-Jesus doesn't come to visit, he comes to abide-

3-Forgetting that God is the source of all I have throws my life completely out of balance-

4-The antidote for loving money too much is to love God more-

5-Godliness is not meant to be a means to financial gain but Godliness with contentment is great gain-

STRANGE THOUGHT-He who questions opinion is wise: he who quarrels with facts is a fool-

I'VE LEARNED-People rarely excel at tasks they don't feel passionate about-

DID YOU KNOW-A penny whistle has six finger holes

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How many people were healed by Jesus during his ministry?

2-Why are we so critical of Peter being afraid when trying to walk on the water to Jesus?

3-How do you blaspheme the Holy Spirit?

4-Why did Jesus say that any blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would not be forgiven?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY MARK 8:14-21

14 His followers had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat; they had forgotten to bring more.

15 Jesus warned them, "Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."

16 His followers discussed the meaning of this, saying "He said this because we have no bread."

17 Knowing what they were talking about, Jesus asked them, "Why are you talking about not having bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your minds closed?

18 You have eyes, but you don't really see. You have ears, but you don't really listen.

19 Remember when I divided five loaves of bread for the five thousand? How many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces of food?" They answered, "Twelve."

20 "And when I divided seven loaves of bread for the four thousand, how many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces of food?" they answered, "Seven."

21 Then Jesus said to them, "Don't you understand yet?"

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