Today’s Thought
Faithful ones, we will be remembered for the things we say and do. Our conduct in this life is important. God is taking note.
We only have so much time on earth. God has surrounded us with His benevolence. He has given us food, family, friends, shelter, a place to worship, and wonderful people to worship with. We are blessed. We should see each new day as an opportunity to show our thankfulness with our lives. We must love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and our neighbours as ourselves. Bless the Lord!

Inspirational Quote
“Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.” – John Piper
