Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

If you don't like the way life looks, change the way

you look at life. (Reminisce Magazine)

SCRIPTURE:

The word of God penetrates even dividing soul and

spirit, joint and marrows. It judges the thoughts and

attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

Today, can be whatever your attitude dictates!

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Niagara Falls. The Grand Canyon. Whether you're near

the edge of the falls, enveloped each minute by spray of

six million cubic feet of cascading water or standing on 

the rim of the canyon overcome with dizzying awe, as

you peer into a seemingly bottomless gorge...both are

akin to the, "The fear of the Lord." A.W.Tozer called it,

"Astonished Reverence." The development of wisdom

and knowledge starts with a loving reverence for the

Lord. (Adam Colwell)

SCRIPTURE:

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and

knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 

Proverbs 9:10

In every story in the Bible, where men and women have

come into the awesome presences of God, they have fallen

on their knees in reverence. Perhaps, we need to be reminded

now and again of the awesome presence of God!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

All that is asked of us by our creator is that we love him and 

each other. Where love doesn't flow easy, perhaps we can 

just decide not to hurt someone. If we each avoid hurting

all people for just one day, lives would be transformed. 

we'd each see the world with a fresh perspective.

(Hazelden Meditations)

SCRIPTURE:

Anyone who does not love his brother whom he has seen,

cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 1 John 4:20

I like the idea of just not hurting another. Love is a gradual

thing. You must get to know others to love them. You must

get to know God to love him as well!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

You may wonder sometimes if your life is no longer a

bright promise. You may lie awake in the hours of the 

night reliving your regrets. God is the great promise

keeper. He is already aware of every poor choice, every

lost opportunity, and every wasted moment, he knows

and your mistakes grieve him. He takes you as you are

and restores hope to your life.

(Moments of Peace in the Presence of God)

SCRIPTURE:

Your promise revives me; it comforts me in my troubles.

Psalm 119:50 (NLT)

We may brake our promises from time to time, but God

never brakes his promises!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As sun melts

ice, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and

hostility to evaporate. (Albert Schweitzer)

SCRIPTURE:

An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word

cheers him up. Proverbs 12:25

Kindness is contagious...pass it on!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Acceptance of conditions that at times plague us changes

not only the conditions, but in the process, ourselves. We

change into  more accepting people, life's struggles ease.

We accept all circumstances we can't control, we are more

peaceful, smile more, It almost seems life's eternal lesson

is acceptance. (Hazelden Meditations)

SCRIPTURE:

I have learned the secret of being content in any and all

circumstances.  Philippians 4:12

Life continually changes, if we fight those changes every step

of the way, we wear ourselves out, physically, emotionally,

and spiritually!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

God loves all children and wants you to be united with him.

As a believer you have a responsibility to be a blessing, not only

to those who are living Godly lives, but also to those who are not.

You are a mirror of God's love in the world! You reflect and pass

along the goodness and mercy shown you. You practice this 

commandment most notably when you reach out to people

who do not know that God loves them.

(Moments of Peace in the Presence of God)

SCRIPTURE:

Good and upright is the Lord. Therefore He teaches  

sinners the way, Psalm 25:8 (NKJV)

It is very hard for us to hate the sin and not the sinner, but

God can help us do it!
