Sunday May 20, 2012 thought for the day-from jasper

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Love is more than a feeling, it is a verb describing our behavior-

2-Love is a choice we make that results in action-

3-Love is patient, it focuses on people not circumstances-

4-Love is kind, we give ourselves to others-

5-Love does not envy, we rejoice over who others are and what they have-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Passing the buck-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Your perspective on money is determined by your perspective of God-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The main library at Indiana University sinks more than an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Who would have examined Jesus body and verified that he was dead?

2-Just what does the "foreknowledge of God" include?

3-Is there anyone beyond God's grace?

4-Why is it that most of the world's leaders have been evil men?

5-If God knew that man would reject him, why didn't he start off creation with a savior  instead of 4000 years later?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What blind king died in exile in Babylon?

Yesterday's answer-one (Judah)  2 Kings 17:18

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Matthew 13:16-17

¹⁶ But you are blessed, because you see with your eyes and hear with your ears. ¹⁷ I tell you the truth, many prophets and good people wanted to see the things that you now see, but they did not see them. And they wanted to hear the things that you now hear, but they did not hear them.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, the day to day living can be so challenging and easily drain us of the pleasures in life if we’re not careful. We thank you for our family and friends who pull us away from that Mindset and add laughter to our lives, as well as the unexpected events that make us laugh at ourselves. Would you bring heartfelt laughter to the hearts of our readers today as they go about their daily duties. May they hear laughter and may they make laughter, verbally, and in their hearts. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.

 

 

 

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