[Faith-talk] Wisdom Gems and Pearls for Sunday, May 8, 2016

[Paul Smith]

Hello and greetings to you all on this Lord's Day, at least that's what 
it is as this message is being written.  I hope that your day is a good 
one, by God's matchless grace and His providential care.

Before I give you today's quotes, I'd like to add my greetings to all 
you mothers out there, and that your children and church members show 
appreciation to you, not only today with cards, flowers, phone calls or 
even paying for you to have a nice restaurant meal today, but also 
during the rest of the year.

And now for today's quotes for your consideration, pondering and reflection.

When we forgive someone, we look more like Jesus than at any other 
moment in our life.

We need never be ashamed of our tears.  Charles Dickens

And that will do it for today, but don't forget that, later on in this 
space will be the weekly Bible trivia game poem for you, then based on 
a book and chapter of the Old Testament.  Until then or until tomorrow 
when, Lord willing more quotes and hopefully some news tidbits will be 
posted, 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.
