By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves...- Charles Dickens...........Psa119:118,119 "But you have rejected all who stray from your decrees. They are only fooling themselves. You skim off the wicked of the earth like scum; no wonder I love to obey your laws!"

"Don't you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth(Job20:4), the triumph of the wicked has been shortlived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary(v5)? Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens and their heads touch the clouds(v6), yet they will vanish forever, thrown away like their own dung. Those who knew them will ask, 'Where are they(v7)?' They will fade like a dream and not be found. They will vanish like a vision in the night(v8). Those who once saw them will see them no more. Their families will never see them again(v9). Their children will beg from the poor, for they must give back their stolen riches(v10). Though they are young, their bones will lie in the dust(v11)."

Look at the world in relationship to the faithfulness of the Father. The connection between us and Him is what faith is about. Trusting His heart when you cannot see His hand is the key to resting in Him...-Harold Sala, Refuge And Strength...............Isaiah32:2 "Each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert, and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land."

Giving and receiving are fundamental categories. The first thing anthropologists study in a new culture is kinship relationships and secondly ways of giving and receiving. The world is divided into people who give freely and people who do not give freely. Our life is like breathing: Breathing out and breathing in, giving and receiving. Asthma is a respiratory disease that prevents you from breathing freely. Well, spiritual asthma is far more common!..- Claretian Comm Foundation.........Mat10:7,8 "Jesus said to His disciples, 'Go and proclaim this message: The kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, bring the dead back to life, cleanse the lepers, and drive out demons. You received this as a gift, so give it as a gift'."

Anger is never without a reason but seldom a good one... - Benjamin Franklin.....Eph2:3-6 "All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else. But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. For He raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms because we are united in Christ Jesus."

Do not put all your eggs in one basket...- Warren Buffett On Investing, Quotes.........Luke16:10-12 "If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? And if you are not faithful with other people's things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?"

"As Christ forgave you, so also do ye(Col3:13).- There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both(Luke7:41,42).- I forgave thee all that debt; shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee(Mat18:32,33)?- When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses(Mark11:25,26).- Since God chose you to be the holy people He loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

"Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation(Col1:15), for through Him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see--such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through Him and for Him(v16). He existed before anything else, and He holds all creation together(v17). Christ is also the Head of the Church, which is His body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So He is first in everything(v18). For God in all His fullness was pleased to live in Christ(v19), and through Him God reconciled everything to Himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ's blood on the cross(v20)."
