Thursday June 30, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-You are what you repeatedly do-

2-No matter how sad you are today, happiness and laughter are distinct possibilities for tomorrow and if not then, the day after-

3-Don't let your history determine your destiny-

4-Your human will cannot change God's divine will-

5-Nothing just happens-

STRANGE THOUGHT-If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do we keep score?

I'VE LEARNED-Be yourself, everyone else is taken-

DID YOU KNOW-The only food that does not spoil is honey-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why did Jesus say to some people "Your sins are forgiven" when they had never asked for that?

2-If God and Jesus are one, did God give himself for our sins?

3-How does the death of Jesus mean life for us?

4-Why is our generation so silent about sin?

5-Do Christians have to do more than "believe" for eternal life?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What woman gave up her son to the household of an Egyptian but came to raise him in her own home anyway?

Yesterday's answer-Jochebed Exodus 6:20

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Ephesians 4:17-24

The Way You Should Live

¹⁷ In the Lord's name, I tell you this. Do not continue living like those who do not believe. Their thoughts are worth nothing.¹⁸ They do not understand, and they know nothing, because they refuse to listen. So they cannot have the life that God gives.¹⁹ They have lost all feeling of shame, and they use their lives for doing evil. They continually want to do all kinds of evil.²⁰ But what you learned in Christ was not like this.²¹ I know that you heard about him, and you are in him, so you were taught the truth that is in Jesus.²² You were taught to leave your old self—to stop living the evil way you lived before. That old self becomes worse, because people are fooled by the evil things they want to do.²³ But you were taught to be made new in your hearts,²⁴ to become a new person. That new person is made to be like God—made to be truly good and holy.

PRAYER FOR TODAY (For those who need God's healing touch today)

Lord Jesus, you came into the world to heal our infirmities and to endure our sufferings. You went about healing all and bringing comfort to those in pain and need. We come before you now in this time of illness asking that you may be the source of our strength in body, courage in spirit and patience in pain. May we join ourselves more closely to you on the cross and in your suffering that through them we may draw our patience and hope.

Assist us and restore us to health so that united more closely to your family, the Church, we may give praise and honour to your name.

Amen.

WISHING YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
