Spiritual Thoughts

  Friday Tale - I'm a Pumpkin A  lady had recently been baptized. One of her co-workers asked her what it was like to be a follower of Christ. She was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer, but when she looked around she saw a jack-o'-lantern on the desk and answered: It's like being a pumpkin. The worker asked her to explain that one.   "Well, God picks you from the patch and brings you in and washes off all the dirt on the outside that you got from being around all the other pumpkins.   Then He cuts off the top and takes all the yucky stuff out from inside.   He removes all those seeds of doubt, hate, greed, pride, etc.   Then He carves on you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all to see."   I'll never look at a pumpkin the same way again. ~ unknown T herefore if any one be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17

  S weep before your own door  before you look after your neighbor's. ~ Author Unknown   H ow can you say to your brother,   'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in  your own eye? First take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. ~ Luke 6:42

         "You have to ask yourself, 'Does this item or thought or response move me closer to my vision for my best life?'    If it does, great.            If it doesn't, what is it doing in your life?" - Peter Walsh No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.             God is faithful, and he will not let you                  be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape,                that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
