Think and Pray

Here are a couple of thoughts I read recently that caused me to pause, think and pray. I hope they do the same for you.

If spouses were as polite to each other as they are to strangers....

If we were as good to each other as our own dogs are to each other...

If we were as good to each other as we are to our dogs...

If we were as careful for our souls as we are for our bodies...

If we were as careful for our bodies as we are for our money...

...why then we would be almost sane.

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said “the sun is new every day”.

He was astronomically wrong but spiritually right. Each day is a new gift from God. It doesn’t come from yesterday. It comes from God. Time can’t make more time. Only God can make more time. Thank Him for it every morning. We think mornings happen automatically only because of habit, like children getting allowances. But, one morning, there won’t be another morning.
