Monday October 25, 2010 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-God forgives sin, but the consequences remain-

2-Despair is giving up on God-

3-Victory is praising God during the struggle-

4-We should not praise God because we feel like it but because He is worthy of our praise-

5-Nothing equals the presence of God-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Maybe we were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that , when we finally meet the right person, we would know how to be grateful for that gift-

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

DID YOU KNOW-The word toast came from the old French word toste , which has the Latin root meaning "to scorch or burn"-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Where exactly did the Holy Family stay in Bethlehem?

2-Did the inn keeper not know that Mary was about to give birth?

3-Would it have been normal for people to stay in animal shelters as as the Holy Family did?

4-Why was Jesus placed in a manger?

5-Where did the cloth come from in which Mary wrapped baby Jesus?

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who set up golden bulls at Dan and Bethel so that his people would not go to Jerusalem to worship?

Yesterday's answer-Jeroboam

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 13:1-5

Change Your Hearts

¹ At that time some people were there who told Jesus that Pilate had killed some people from Galilee while they were worshiping. He mixed their blood with the blood of the animals they were sacrificing to God. ² Jesus answered, "Do you think this happened to them because they were more sinful than all others from Galilee? ³ No, I tell you. But unless you change your hearts and lives, you will be destroyed as they were!⁴ What about those eighteen people who died when the tower of Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were more sinful than all the others who live in Jerusalem? ⁵ No, I tell you. But unless you change your hearts and lives, you will all be destroyed too!"

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