T H I N K A B O U T . . .

1) God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

2) Growing old is inevitable . . . Growing up is optional.

3) There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.

4) Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.

5) Do the math . . .count your blessings.

6) Faith is the ability to not panic.

7) Laugh every day, it’s like inner jogging.

8) If you worry, you didn’t pray . . . If you pray, don’t worry.

9) As a child of God, prayer is like calling home every day.

10) Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of

shape.

11) When we get tangled up in our problems, be still.

God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.

12) A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.

Sunday sermons: Practical Suggestions

for Loving Others

p.m. No Christ-No Peace

Sunday morning Adult Bible Class is studying a series entitled “One Another”

Relationships in our Church Family. To-

day’s subject continues on Lesson 19:

“Encourage One Another.”

A Word To The Wise

Some people stretch the truth; others mu-

tilate it; when truth stands in your way, it’s

time to change directions.

No matter which screw in the head is

loose, it is the tongue that rattles.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Live in harmony with one another; do

not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, ex-

clusive), but readily adjust yourself to

[people, things] and give yourselves to hum-

ble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be

wise in your own conceits.

- - Romans 12:16 - - Amplified
