Thought of the Day–2/10/18

Thought of the Day—A kind word is a delectable morsel to the palate of the heart and a smile can lift the spirit of the soul.  Neither effort costs anything but can mean everything to the recipient…

Thought of the Day–1/30/18

Thought of the Day—Hold on to hope—hope for another tomorrow, hope that we please God, hope that one day we will indeed see God but hope that day won’t come too soon; for where there’s life, there’s hope. And as a result, hope can bring about peace…and isn’t that what we need more of right about now…peace?

Thought of the Day–1/10/18

Thought of the Day— One year ago today, I started doing a “Thought of the Day” for my sister Jennifer, who was coping with stage 4 Melanoma of the brain.  As God directed my thoughts and after I scribed the thought in my Word document, I would call and leave the “Thought of the Day” on her answering machine every morning to provide some comfort, thoughts to consider or even perhaps a little chuckle for her day.

  Beginning on May 23rd, which is Jennifer’s birthday, I started to also post the “Thought of the Day’ on Facebook and my blog site on WordPress, LifeSimplySpoken.com so these thoughts could be shared with others. 

My sister passed on October 25th of 2017 and thus, I feel it is very fitting that I discontinue writing new “Thought of the Day” posts one year from when it all began.  However, beginning today, I am going to begin sharing daily the “thoughts” that only Jennifer heard, through May 22nd.   I hope that you, in the past months and in some small way, have found these words to be helpful.  They were just small gifts, presented with love, from a brother to a sister…

1/10/17 Thought of the Day—you are loved more than you could ever imagine…

Ornament

Thought of the Day—As we enter the eve before Christmas, let us remember that it matters not what lies beneath the tree as much as what lies in our hearts.  A heart full of thankfulness for our one perfect gift–Jesus, a heart full of love for our family and friends and a heart full of joy in anticipation of being with those you love…that is what the Spirit of Christmas is all about…

Christmas Cross

Thought of the Day—Jesus isn’t the reason for the season…we are…For if sin had not entered into this world and if we were not in such a desperate state of need, there would be no need for a Savior to save us from our sins…but here we are, with that very need.  So we, the receivers of God’s most perfect gift, celebrate the gift of Jesus this season and we worship God the Father for His perfect love for us!  John 3:16-17 (NIV) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
