Thursday March 3, 2011 thought for the day-from jasper

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Your attitude can turn your problems into blessings-

2-We need to talk to each other, not about each other-

3-The church is the only army that moves forward on it's knees-

4-People tend to live their lives at their level of motivation-

5-In a confrontation, always speak in the 1st person (I) and not the 2nd person (you)-

STRANGE THOUGHT-A diet is not about will power, it is about won't power-

I'VE LEARNED-Treat people as if they are what they ought to be-

DID YOU KNOW-The correct response to the Irish greeting "Top of the morning to you" is, "And the rest of the day to yourself"-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Are the Beatitudes paradoxical?

2-How do you "Die to yourself'?

3-Can the Beatitudes be imitated?

4-How is the mind and heart related?

5-How does God create in me a "clean" heart?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What prophet is quoted in the New Testament more than any others

Yesterday's answer-Ezekiel

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY HEBREWS 4:12-13

¹² God's word is alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined, to the center of our joints and bones. And it judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.¹³ Nothing in all the world can be hidden from God. Everything is clear and lies open before him, and to him we must explain the way we have lived.

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