Friday October 29, 2010 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-It is our awareness of what we don't have that creates jealousy-

2-God asks us to come to him and make our requests not make our demands-

3-Many of our disappointment in life began as irritations-

4-Most of our deepest hurts come from other people, not from things-

5-Often what is done is secret is best not done at all-

STRANGE THOUGHT-In two days, tomorrow will be yesterday-

I'VE LEARNED-Only a coward boasts that they have never been afraid-

DID YOU KNOW-The old English word for sneeze is fneosam-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why did Joseph leave for Bethlehem if Mary was so close to giving birth?

2-Why didn't the star lead the wise men directly to baby Jesus in Bethlehem?

3-Were the wise men really astrologers?

4-Why did the wise men feel compelled to follow a star?

5-How do you follow a star when it appears stationery?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What king ran a beauty contest to pick a bride and wound up marrying a Jewish girl?

Yesterday's answer-Amaziah

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 13:22-30

The Narrow Door

²² Jesus was teaching in every town and village as he traveled toward Jerusalem. ²³ Someone said to Jesus, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?"

Jesus said, ²⁴ "Try hard to enter through the narrow door, because many people will try to enter there, but they will not be able.²⁵ When the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you can stand outside and knock on the door and say, 'Sir, open the door for us.' But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'²⁶ Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in the streets of our town.'²⁷ But he will say to you, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Go away from me, all you who do evil!'²⁸ You will cry and grind your teeth with pain when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom, but you yourselves thrown outside.²⁹ People will come from the east, west, north, and south and will sit down at the table in the kingdom of God. ³⁰ There are those who are last now who will be first in the future. And there are those who are first now who will be last in the future."

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