1-A diamond is a chunk of coal under pressure-

2-We honor what we cherish-

3-God can never makes a wrong decision, has the wrong attitude, takes the wrong path, says the wrong thing, gives the wrong advice, provides an incomplete salvation, forgives the unconfessed sin-

4-What may be your right may not necessarily be the right thing to do-

5-If our happiness is in the when and ifs we miss out on the joys of blessings of the here and now-

STRANGE THOUGHT-If God only gives us what we can handle, I sometimes wish He didn't trust us so much-

I'VE LEARNED-Learning only begins when we accept the role of student-

DID YOU KINOW-When the "F-word" became considered vulgar is unclear. It was acceptable speech in England until as recently as the seventeenth century-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 12:49-53 "THIS IS A STRANGE SCRIPTURE", HARD TO UNDERSTAND

Jesus Causes Division

⁴⁹ "I came to set fire to the world, and I wish it were already burning! ⁵⁰ I have a baptism to suffer through, and I feel very troubled until it is over.⁵¹ Do you think I came to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, I came to divide it.⁵² From now on, a family with five people will be divided, three against two, and two against three. ⁵³ They will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

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