Thursday November 24, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Our children are our only possession we can take to heaven-

2-Wrong is still wrong even if you get away with it-

3-As a man thinketh so is he-

4-A happy Christian is an active Christian-

5-Being sanctified is not getting more of God, it is God getting more of us-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Some people pin ribbons on their dogs and hogs and let their children go to hell-

I'VE LEARNED-Live as if what you do makes a difference for it does-

DID YOU KNOW-The side of a hammer is called a cheek-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How did the gospel writers know what happened to Jesus during his desert testing?

2-Why is there a difference in Matthew and Mark's version of Jesus' desert testing? Matthew said he fasted 40 days and then was tested while Mark said he was tempted during the 40 days.

3-Why did Jesus first take his disciples to a wedding?

4-Was Jesus born into a perfect sinless family?

5-Did Jesus' siblings think he was the messiah or a lunatic?

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who slept through a haircut?

Yesterday's answer-King Darius Daniel 6:18

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 Corinthians 12:21-26

²¹ The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the foot, "I don't need you!"²² No! Those parts of the body that seem to be the weaker are really necessary.²³ And the parts of the body we think are less deserving are the parts to which we give the most honor. We give special respect to the parts we want to hide.²⁴ The more respectable parts of our body need no special care. But God put the body together and gave more honor to the parts that need it²⁵ so our body would not be divided. God wanted the different parts to care the same for each other.²⁶ If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part of our body is honored, all the other parts share its honor.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we count among our rich blessings the bounty of Your handiwork – whether it’s that which we can observe only at a distance or that which we can examine closely, touch with our hands, smell or taste. You are a benevolent Father, giving us so much to enjoy. Creation declares Your glory causing us to delight in Your creativity, in all its bountiful and varied displays. We give You thanks for it all. Amen.

LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!
