Tuesday May 7, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Time is your most precious gift because you only have so much of it-

2-The gift of time is a gift of love-

3-The greatest gift you can give someone is your time-

4-The best way to spell love is t-i-m-e-

5-The essence of love is how much we give of ourselves-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Bonding-what chewing gum does between your shoe and the pavement-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Gorillas often sleep for up to fourteen hours a day-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Who is the "Man of Lawlessness" Paul refers to?

2-How does Paul know the sequence of Jesus' return?

3-Jesus said "the good news about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world so that all nations will hear it, and then the end will come."  Has this happened yet?

4-If Jesus' return is near, why keep on working?

5-If you can work but don't want to, yet want welfare, should you be able to get it?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Acts 3:21-23

¹ But Jesus must stay in heaven until the time comes when all things will be made right again. God told about this time long ago when he spoke through his holy prophets. ²² Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will give you a prophet like me, who is one of your own people. You must listen to everything he tells you. ²³ Anyone who does not listen to that prophet will die, cut off from God’s people.’^[a]

PRAYER FOR TODAY

 

Daily prayer: Father, You speak to us through the prophet Isaiah, “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.“ Though this passage is somewhat general we know that You deal with the specifics in our lives as we encounter personal difficulties and quandaries. How comforting it is to know that You are alive forevermore and not only go before us, but You walk alongside us in our times of pain, confusion, loss, and when we’re uncertain what direction You want us to take. Ever-faithful and ever-loving God, we praise You for Your presence in our lives. It is through Jesus that we come to You in prayer. Amen     .Isaiah 41:10

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