[Faith-talk] Quotes for Sunday, August 21, 2016

[Paul Smith]

Hello and greetings to you all on this Lord's Day.  I hope that your 
day is going well, whether it's at its beginning, middle or end as this 
message is being written.

Here are today's quotes for your consideration, pondering and reflection.

You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because 
reality is finally better than your dreams.  Dr. Seuss, a.k.a. Theodore Geisel

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today.  James 
Joyce, 1882-1941

And there you have today's quotes.  Hope you enjoyed reading them.

Later on this morning three of us from the Baltimore Lutheran Outreach 
Center of the Blind are going to another LCMS congregation, not our 
host one, for a fundraiser for our organization.  The undersigned is 
going to bring some Braille alphabet cards with a Bible verse on each 
of them, and as to what Charles, Carol and Mary bring I don't know.  
Please pray that the fundraiser goes well, as God leads the 
congregation to give willingly.  We're also having an ice cream social 
with hot dogs for something for all of us to consume.

And that will do for today.  Before I close, however, I'd like to pray 
for us who have yet to go to our respective houses of worship.  I pray 
that we and our fellow congregants will get a good word from the Lord 
as imparted to us by our pastors and/or Sunday School teachers, and 
with that word firmly implanted in our hearts, minds and souls, I pray 
that we will apply the same to our individual lives as the gracious 
Holy Spirit enables.

Until tomorrow when, Lord willing more quotes will be posted or until 
later today when the weekly Bible trivia game will be sent, I am your 
obedient servant of the One who lived an earthly existence, died to pay 
for your sins and mine, and now lives forever to bring us His salvation 
and peace, Oil of Gladness.
