Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Realize that life is a school and your are here to learn,

pass all your tests. Problems are simply part of the

curriculum that appear and fade away life algebra class.

But the lessons you learn will last a life time.

(From Dot Barr)

SCRIPTURE:

Let the wise listen and add to their learning.

Proverbs 1:5

We all learn more from listening than talking and more

from doing than saying!

September 6

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

At Washington, DC Metro Station, world famous violinist,

Joshua Bell, incognito, conducted an experiment for the

Washington Post. He played his violin for an hour. In that 

time only 6 people stopped to listen. Some threw a dollar 

his way and continued on. Several children stopped, only to

have a parent tug them away. One of the greatest musicians

in the world, played one of the most intricate pieces ever

written, on a violin worth 3.5 million. Two days after he had

played to a sold out house in a Boston theater, at an average

of 100 dollars a seat. One of the conclusions reached of the

experiment: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to

some of the finest music ever written, played by one of the best

musicians of the world, on one of the most beautiful instruments

ever made...How many other things are we missing?

(From Phyllis Leonard)

SCRIPTURE:

He was in the world and though the world was made through him,

the world did not recognize him. John 1:10

Are you missing the best things in life?

O Lord, you alone are my hope, I've trusted you, O Lord, from

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Have you ever felt like nothing more could possibly go 

wrong in your life? Naomi, a woman who lost her husband

and both sons, was definitely feeling that way. Her story, in

the book of Ruth, started out as one of hopelessness. She

felt that the hand of the Lord was against her. Ruth her

daughter-in-law would not give up on her. Ruth vowed,

"Your people will be my people and your God my God."

Naomi discovered that the Lord had not left her at all. Do

you know any Naomi's that need to know God is still there

for them? (Adam Colwell) 

SCRIPTURE:

May those who fear you rejoice when they see me, for I have put

my trust in your word. Psalm 119:74

If everything is going wrong for you today...hang in there, tomorrow's 

another day and God will be there, waiting, to handle anything you're

willing to trust to his care!

September 2

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Even when you achieve the goals you've set, you sometimes

arrive at the finish line only to feel your victory is empty and

meaningless. Too late you realize that the furious run was in

the wrong direction. God measures success in terms of faith,

hope and love. It is never too late to begin following his lead.

Your consequent victory will bring lasting satisfaction and a

sense of true success. 

(Moments of Peace in the Presence of God)

SCRIPTURE:

Lead me in the path of your commands, because that makes me 

happy. Make me want to keep your rules instead of wishing for

riches. Keep me from looking at worthless things. Let me live

by your word. Psalm 119:35-37 (NCV)

True success is not measured in how we look, what kind of car

we drive or the house we live in!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

There was a story about a man bitten by a dog who had

rabies. The man begin to make a list and the doctor said,

"You don't have to make out your will, rabies can be cured"

He replied, "Oh, I'm not making out my will. I'm making

a list of the people I want to bite." Couldn't we all make a

list. Friends, who are not always friendly. Neighbors, who

are not always neighborly. Workers, who never work. We

sometimes keep a list, snarl and snap at people. God wants

your list. He wants you to leave the list at the cross.

(Max Lucado-From Elva Smithson)

SCRIPTURE:

Love does not keep record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13:5

 If you must be a list keeper, this month keep a list of everything 

your loved ones do that's good!
