He teaches honesty—by keeping his promises to his family even when it costs.
He teaches courage—by living unafraid, with faith, in all circumstances.
He teaches justice—by being fair and dealing equally with everyone.
Every father can teach Christian principles.
He teaches kindness—by being thoughtful and gracious even at home.

After you have suffered a little while, our God, who is full of kindness through Christ, will give you his eternal glory.  He personally will come and pick you up, and set you firmly in place, and make you stronger than ever.  To him be all power over all things, forever and ever.  Amen.

In the cross is health, in the cross is life, in the cross is protection from enemies, in the cross is heavenly sweetness, in the cross strength of mind, in the cross joy of the Spirit, in the cross the height of virtue, in the cross perfection of holiness.  There is no health of the soul, no hope of eternal life, save in the cross.

Thomas a Kempis

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.  He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah.  God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

Psalm 57:2-3

Christ is the Head of this house,
The unseen Guest at every meal,
The silent Listener to every conversation.

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts 20:24
The Revised Standard Version

These are the things I prize
And hold of dearest worth:
Light of the sapphire skies,
Peace of the silent hills,
Shelter of the forest, comfort of the grass,
Music of birds, murmur of little rills,
Shadows of clouds that swiftly pass,
And, after showers,
The smell of flowers
And of the good brown earth—
And best of all, along the way, friendship and mirth.

Henry van Dyke

I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God.

Helen Keller

My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.  Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Proverbs 24:13-14
The English Standard Version

The multitude of books is a great evil.  There is no limit to this fever for writing.

God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers he uses to crush us with.  If God would only use his own fingers and make us broken bread and poured out wine in a special way!  But when he uses someone whom we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we said we would never submit, and makes those the crushers, we object.

Oswald Chambers

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.  O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

Contemplation is like sleep in the arms of God.

Bernard of Clairvaux

“And he said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

Job 28:28

The sun will set without thy assistance.

Dear Subscriber to This Day’s Thought, 

We continue through this month of November, our chosen month of fundraising, and we want to thank you for all your support, past, present and future.  This ministry is for you, the members, but it is also as a result of the Lord’s blessing through you that we have been able to share a Christian message with so many for so long.

Your prayers and your financial aid make all of this possible and, as we now budget for this upcoming year (our 23rd as a ministry) we ask that you might consider a donation towards these efforts, either a one-time gift or a monthly commitment.  We so appreciate your support…it makes all the difference!

Thank you once again…and if you wish to donate at this time, just click on this link:

In His Love, Greg for This Day’s Thought

We can do little things for God: I turn the cake that is frying in the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him who has given me Grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king.

Brother Lawrence

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Everything in this life is going to be taken away from us, except one thing: God’s love, which can go into death with us and take us through it and into his arms.

Timothy J. Keller

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Luke 19:10
The New International Version

I  hope I will always keep my eyes on the King of kings, and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ.  I pray that whether in singing or speaking or whatever I am doing I will desire only to please Him, that I may bask in His smile.

Sometimes a man imagines that he will lose himself if he gives himself, and keep himself if he hides himself.  But the contrary takes place with terrible exactitude.

Ernest Hello

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

2 Peter 3:8-9
The English Standard Version

An apology
Is a friendship preserver,
Is often a debt of honor,
Is never a sign of weakness,
Is an antidote for hatred,
Costs nothing but one’s pride,
Always saves more than it costs,
Is a device needed in every home.
