This Day's Smile

A man fell off a cliff but managed to grab hold of a branch on his way down. He hung there and shouted up to the top,
“Is anybody up there?”
“Yes,” came the reply, “God is up here!”
“Can you help me, God?”
“Yes.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Let go of the branch.”
There was a pause.
“Is there anybody else up there?”

We see different persons exercised with different kinds of crosses.

This Day's Thought

Let’s take Jesus at His word. When He says we’re forgiven, let’s unload the guilt. When He says we’re valuable, let’s believe Him. When He says we’re eternal, let’s bury our fear. When He says we’re provided for, let’s stop worrying.

C. H. Spurgeon

This Day's Verse

Lamentations 3:40
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Our five-year-old Jeanie took to rising at 5:30 each morning and puttering around just long enough to wake the rest of us before climbing back into bed. Her reason was always the same—she had to see if there was a surprise. Finally we told her firmly that she must stop and that there wouldn’t be any surprises until Christmas, which was months away. “I wasn’t talking about living-room surprises,” she said through her tears. “I was talking about like yesterday morning it was raining, and this morning real summer’s here, and tomorrow morning I’ll probably find some pink in the rosebuds.” Jeanie still gets up each morning at 5:30.
