HERE ARE MY COLD WINTRY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Submission to God's will may mean waiting for his timing-

2-There is healing in love-

3-Life's greatest question--How much does God have of me?

4-Don't seek the blessing, seek the blesser-

5-You can have just enough of Jesus to make you miserable-

STRANGE THOUGHT-A young mother was overheard to say, "I'd like to be the perfect mother but I'm just too busy raising my kids!"

I'VE LEARNED-One of the nice things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young-

DID YOU KNOW-The words racecar and kayak are palindromes; they're the same whether they are read left to right or right to left-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How are we to understand that Jesus was both man and God as a human?

2-When did Jesus know he was more than human?

3-Could Jesus have died another kind of death as a sin offering other than crucifixion?

4-Did the death of Jesus on the cross pay the full penalty of our sin even if we don't acknowledge or accept it?

5-After the resurrection, why didn't Jesus appear to the Roman authorities or the Jewish leaders?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What saintly king of Judah was crippled with a foot disease in his old age?

Yesterday's answer-David

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 John 2:7-11

The Command to Love Others

⁷ My dear friends, I am not writing a new command to you but an old command you have had from the beginning. It is the teaching you have already heard.⁸ But also I am writing a new command to you, and you can see its truth in Jesus and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

⁹ Anyone who says, "I am in the light," but hates a brother or sister, is still in the darkness. ¹⁰ Whoever loves a brother or sister lives in the light and will not cause anyone to stumble in his faith.¹¹ But whoever hates a brother or sister is in darkness, lives in darkness, and does not know where to go, because the darkness has made that person blind.

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