2-People always fight what they don't understand-

3-It is not important what others say about you, what really matters is what you believe about yourself-

4-You cannot influence everyone but you can influence someone-

5-Money is not what satisfies-

STRANGE THOUGHT-I've never been lost but have been confused for several weeks-

I'VE LEARNED-Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Should all Christians have the gift of generosity?

2-How much responsibility should Christians have for meeting the needs of fellow believers?

3-Are Christians who do not tithe greedy?

4-Is the "tithe" supposed to go to the local place of worship or other ministries as well?

SCRIPURE FOR TODAY HEBREWS 11:17-23

¹⁷ It was by faith that Abraham, when God tested him, offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice. God made the promises to Abraham, but Abraham was ready to offer his own son as a sacrifice.¹⁸ God had said, "The descendants I promised you will be from Isaac."¹⁹ Abraham believed that God could raise the dead, and really, it was as if Abraham got Isaac back from death.

²⁰ It was by faith that Isaac blessed the future of Jacob and Esau.²¹ It was by faith that Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each one of Joseph's sons. Then he worshiped as he leaned on the top of his walking stick.

²² It was by faith that Joseph, while he was dying, spoke about the Israelites leaving Egypt and gave instructions about what to do with his body.

²³ It was by faith that Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born. They saw that Moses was a beautiful baby, and they were not afraid to disobey the king's order.

GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD!!!
