Thought of the day
August 25th, 2005 by RespiteMatch.comMark 14:66-72
“And as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came, and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him, and said, “You, too, were with Jesus the Nazarene.” But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are talking about.”
“And he (Peter) went out onto the porch. And the maid saw him, and began once more to say to the bystanders, “This is one of them!” But again he was denying it.”
“And after a little while the bystanders were again saying to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean too.” But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man you are talking about!”
“And immediately a cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before a cock crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he began to weep.” Mark 14:66-72 (NAS) Forward to a friend
John 10:11-16
“I (Jesus) am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
“He who is a hireling, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, beholds the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees, and the wolf snatches them, and scatters them. He flees because he is a hireling, and is not concerned about the sheep.”
“I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and My own know Me, even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.”
“And I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they shall hear My voice; and they shall become one flock with one shepherd.” John 10:11-16 (NAS)

Today matters
+++++++++++++++++++
Live today like it matters. Because it does.
There are people you’ll never even know who will be influenced by what you do today. So give this day your attention, your love, your very best.
There are ways that you cannot now imagine in which your own life will be influenced by the way you live this day. So live it with integrity, enthusiasm and an eye for the positive possibilities.
The world in which you live will be affected by the way you make use of this day. So fill your moments with thankfulness, imagination and joy.
Today matters, and right now you have the chance to make it matter in a most positive and fulfilling way. Today is the day when your life is lived, and many things in your life will be determined by what you do with today.
If you take this whole day for granted, it will leave you with nothing but regret. Yet it does not have to be that way. Live today like it matters, for now is when you truly can.
