We all feel like giving up at times:

It seems I have referred to these passages a lot this past week.

 

James 1:19

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

 

Proverbs 21:23

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

Deuteronomy 14:21

 

"Do not eat anything you find already dead. You may give it to the foreigner residing in any of your towns, and they may eat it, or you may sell it to any other foreigner."

[doomer]

Hebrews 11:1

King James Version (KJV)

 

11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 

I always remind myself of this one.

[nkypete]

Proverbs 31:6

 

Give strong drink to anyone who is perishing, and wine to the embittered.

[kygirl]

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (NIV)

[kygirl]

Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord." Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head." Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Rom 12:19-21)

Happy Mother's Day!

"She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates."

Proverbs 31:26-31

Sometimes a little levity is in order. Hopefully I won't be struck down by a stray lightning bold anytime soon.

Bibles are those things they have in hotels if you were wondering.

[Getslow]

Was looking through today's bible readings and the gospel was from Matthew 13. But I kept reading after and stumbled onto this:

 

"And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? [55] Is not this the carpenter' s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:

 

[56] And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things? [57] And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. [58] And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief."

 

It's that last verse that really caught me. God does not work miracles so that we might believe; He works miracles because we believe.

Actually that is tomorrow's Gospel, but no worries. But I really wanted to ask you if you were believing in the miracle that a certain little boy would disappear?:bunny:
