HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-We make our choices and then our choices make us-

2-Pray for a good harvest but keep on cultivating-

3-A Christian does not own his wealth, he owes it-

A STRANGE THOUGHT-If at first you don't succeed you are just about average-

I'VE LEARNED-If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Galatians 5:7-10

⁷ You were running a good race. Who stopped you from following the true way?⁸ This change did not come from the One who chose you.⁹ Be careful! "Just a little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise."¹⁰ But I trust in the Lord that you will not believe those different ideas. Whoever is confusing you with such ideas will be punished.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, whet our appetite for spiritual food that brings sustenance, growth and experience as we partake of the Bread of Life. May our hearts hunger for the wonderful promises, provisions, and principles revealed throughout Your Holy Scripture. As we regularly feast on these nourishing nuggets we become mature and strengthened so that we can trust You in times of famine. Keep us tasting and keep us trusting. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
