Great truths adults learned: 1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree. 2) Wrinkles don’t hurt. 3) Families are like fudge…. mostly sweet, with a few nuts. 4) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground. 5) Laughing is a good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside. 6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the joy. Meditation: “Even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.” – Isaiah 46:4 Also Read: Expecting the Unexpected The Benefits of Wisdom: Triple Advantage Entities in the Bible: The First Surrogate Parent Lessons From the Geese Jesus, the Living Word You can now partner with the Daily Dew Ministry by clicking here.

11 Reasons you will not hear a fan give for not attending a game: 1. Every time I went, they asked me for money. 2. The people with whom I had to sit didn’t seem very friendly. 3. The seats were too hard and not at all comfortable. 4. I went to many games, but the coach never came to call on me. 5. The referee made a decision with which I could not agree. 6. I suspected that I was sitting with some hypocrites — they came to see their friends, and what others were wearing, rather than to see the game. 7. Some games went into overtime, and I was late getting home. 8. The band played some numbers that I had never heard before. 9. It seems that the games are scheduled when I want to do other things. 10. I was taken to too many games by my parents when I was growing up. 11. I don’t want to take my children to any games, because I want them to choose for themselves what sport they like best. So why use them to stay away from church? Meditation: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited-until you try to sit in their pews. Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers. It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one. When you get to your wits’ end, you’ll find God lives there. People are funny, they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church. Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever. Don’t complain about your church; if it were perfect, you couldn’t belong. One phrase that is guaranteed to wake up an audience: “And in conclusion.” If the church wants a better preacher, it only needs to pray for the one it has. God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you? To make a long story short, don’t tell it. Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set. Peace starts with a smile. I don’t know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from? Why sing “Standing on the Promises” while only sitting on the premises? Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous. Don’t put a question mark where God put a period. Don’t wait for 6 strong

One day, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was walking in the woods. As he thought about his life, he knew many things were not right. He thought about those who had lied about him when he had a job. His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him. He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to the illness he had that no one could cure. His very soul was filled with anger, resentment and frustration. Standing there this day, searching for answers he could not find, knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at the base of an old oak tree to seek the One he knew would always be there. And with tears in his eyes, he prayed: “Lord, You have done wonderful things for me in this life. You have told me to do many things for you, and I happily obeyed. Today, you have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I cannot. I don’t know how. It is not fair, Lord. I didn’t deserve these wrongs that were done against me, and I shouldn’t have to forgive. As perfect as your way is, Lord, this one thing I cannot do, for I don’t know how to forgive. My anger is so deep, Lord, I

What if… God couldn’t take the time to bless us today because we could not take the time to thank Him yesterday. What if… God decided to stop leading us tomorrow because we didn’t follow Him today. What if… God didn’t walk with us today because we failed to recognise it as His day. What if… We never saw another flower bloom because we grumbled when God sent the rain. What if… God stopped loving and caring for us because we failed to love and care for others. What if… God took away the Bible tomorrow, because we would not read it today. What If… God took away his message because we failed to listen to His messenger. What if… God didn’t send His only begotten Son because He wanted us to pay the price of our own sin. What if… The door to the church was closed because we did not open the door of our hearts. What if… God would not hear us today because we would not listen to Him yesterday. What if… God answered our prayers the way we answer His call to service. What if… God met our needs the way we give Him our lives. Praise God that He did send His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, so we could be restored to Him.
