  • Thought for the Day 7/12/2021
    The best way to knock the chip off
    your neighbor's shoulder
    is to pat him on the back.

    BUT if your enemy is hungry, feed him,
    and if he is thirsty, give him a drink,
    for in so doing, you will
    heap burning coals on his head.
    ~ Romans 12:20

    NOTE! - while burning coals on your head does NOT sound very neighborly, in Bible times, if you gave your neighbor burning coals, he/she would put them on a pot, and carry the pot on their head, to take the coals home to start their own fire. So, heaping burning coals on a neighbor's head was  considered very kind!)
