Tuesday April 24, 2012 thought for the day

 

 

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years, they grow old by giving up their ideals-

2-Years may wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul-

3-You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt,

   As young as your self confidence, as old as your fear,

   As young as your hope , as old as your despair-

4-When your heart is covered with  the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then you have grown old indeed-

5-Age is a quality of the mind-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-It is a scientific fact, the people who have the most birthdays live the longest-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Before making judgements about others, make sure your hands are clean-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The Golden Gate Bridge first opened in 1937-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-If God's Spirit lives in us, how then can we not show a "Christ like" spirit?

2-As Christians, do we have all the power we need for all of life's situations we face?

3-Do we need more of God or does God need more of us?

4-When God has more of us do we have more of God?

5-What does "pray without ceasing" mean?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What Israelite city was burned by Pharaoh?

Yesterday's answer-Abimelech   Judges 9:49

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Matthew 9:35-38

   ³⁵ Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News about the kingdom, and healing all kinds of diseases and sicknesses.³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he felt sorry for them because they were hurting and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷ Jesus said to his followers, "There are many people to harvest but only a few workers to help harvest them. ³⁸ Pray to the Lord, who owns the harvest, that he will send more workers to gather his harvest." 

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

  Father, we are so very grateful for the signs of life, color, beauty, shape and functionality that are evident in the plants and vegetation all around us; a result of Your creative handwork on the third day of creation. Though You are Creator, You have made us stewards and caretakers of that which You created. What a joy it is to plant a seed or seedling in the ground and watch as  You also provide the oxygen, rain, and sunshine to aid its health and growth.  We affirm once again in our writings and prayer that You are the divine Creator of the universe and all things are in submission to Your creative power and according to Your will.  In the name of Jesus we pray these things.  Amen.

 

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
