Personal Story Of The Day
A Letter Of Love And A Knock On The Door A Welshman had fallen in love with one of his neighbours and wanted to marry her. But they had quarrelled, and she refused to forgive him. Shy and reluctant to face the offended woman, the persistent suitor slipped a love letter under her door every week.
At last, after 42 years, he summoned up courage, knocked on her door, and asked her to become his wife. To his delight, she consented having taken years before she finally said yes. So they were married at the age of 74! (true story).
God is also a persistent lover. Century after century He sent prophets, seeking the stubborn people of Israel. Then God sent His Son. In Luke 19, we read that Jesus looked out over the city of Jerusalem and wept because of their hardness of heart (v41-44). Yet Jesus persisted in His loving pursuit. He opened the way for reconciliation by His redeeming sacrifice at Calvary.
Today, He is still asking sinners to come to Him, repent, be baptised and receive the Holy Spirit (Matthew 11:28). If you have been born again, rejoice that you are His. Walk in his Spirit every day... If you don't, you must realise that time may run out.
Experience has shown me that God never gives up. It took 18 years of witnessing to get my mother to the church. She lasted a couple of years then gave up. I spent another 14 years or so to get her back to fellowship... she came and later died in the Lord. Don't remain forever alienated from the Lover of your soul and offer the same love to all others. Obey Him today.
Jokes Of The Day
Having been married ten years and still living in an apartment, the wife would often complain about anything, as she was tired of saving every penny to buy a "dream home."Trying to placate her, the husband found a new apartment, within their budget. However, after the first week, she began complaining again.
"Joel," she said, "I don't like this place at all. There are no curtains in the bathroom. The neighbors can see me every time I take a bath."
"Don't worry." replied her husband. "If the neighbors do see you, they'll buy curtains."

A boy, frustrated with all the rules he had to follow, asked his father, "Dad, how soon will I be old enough to do as I please?"
The father answered, "I don't know. Nobody has lived that long yet."
************************************
A blonde grabbed a large thermos and hurried to a nearby coffee shop. She held up the thermos and the coffee shop worker quickly came over to take her order.
"Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?" the blonde asked.
The coffee shop worker looked at the thermos, hesitated a few seconds, then finally replied, "Yeah. It looks like about six cups to me."
"Oh good!" the blonde sighed in relief. "Then give me two regular, two black, and two decaf."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making Your free time work.
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? Matthew 9:4, References from Philippians 4:8.
Sam Snead was one of the greatest golfers of all time. He won 135 tournaments worldwide, including a record 81 PGA tour victories and three Masters championships. His career spanned nearly 50 years... he won his first tournament in 1936 and his last in 1982. His smooth swing was envied by all.
As one peer said, He had a swing so sweet, you could pour it out of a syrup bottle. Another said, Watching Sam Snead practice hitting golf balls is like watching a fish practice swimming. Sam Sneads lifelong pursuit of golfing excellence made him a success and eventually a sports legend.
The pursuit of excellence should be our passion as well! Biblically, the idea of thinking, does not refer to passing thoughts, but to reflecting or pondering deeply on God's principles. When Paul said to 'think about such things', he meant he wanted his readers to consider or take into account these factors while making decisions. What a person allows to occupy his mind will sooner or later determine their speech and their action.
So, what should we think about? Things that are noble or honourable are worthy of respect. Right, or righteous things can be brought into the light and God will add to them through the gift of Knowledge or Wisdom.
We should think of things that are pure, holy, and lovely. And our thoughts should dwell on things that are admirable or of good reputation. In summary, we should meditate on things that are morally excellent or praiseworthy. In this context, our redeemed minds can discern, and our redeemed hearts can enjoy, genuine pleasures.
Heart Disease?
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. Psalms 19:8.
One of the greatest health problems in the world today is heart disease. The doctors say that heart/cardiovascular disease is the number one killer. Heart disease can be reversed or stopped in most cases, but we need to watch the food we eat and make sure we are getting plenty of exercise.
Too many people don't watch their blood pressure, nor do they keep it under control. In other words, we don't look after our health in the way we should, most of the time.
Worry and stress play a role in heart problems and are killing many of our people as well. Worry and stress can be relieved when you get into God's Word. Having knowledge of the Words of life, and being enlightened by the Holy Spirit and power... we can get help in every aspect of our life, especially the heart.
Spiritual heart disease would be non-existent, if Christians were as diligent in studying the Word as they are in their eating habits. That might get a laugh out of some, but it's the truth.
It's sad that we sometimes think of food more than we think of God moving in our midst. We need to hold on to God and His Truths and Promises, and then we will see the heart problems, both bodily and spiritually, begin to vanish.
