OOPS OF THE DAY ~ MAY 1

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Surprise of the Day

After Peter denied even knowing Jesus during his trial, and after Jesus’ death and resurrection, he interrogated Peter about his love and loyalty to make sure Peter was never going to waver again.

John 21;15-17

Fact of the Day

No!  First, note that Jesus did not order him to repent.  And second, Jesus knew and knows everything, so did not have to find out anything.  He was building Peter up a little at a time. 

The 1st time Peter said he loved Jesus, Jesus replied, “Okay, you can take care of the young-lamb Christians.”

The 2nd time, Jesus replied, “Good.  Then you can keep my sheep rounded up and together.” 

The 3rd time, Jesus replied, “Good.  Now you can take care of all my sheep as a good shepherd.”

Where I can see forever

Pearls Cover-Palms-300dpi-MediumI praise you in the morning when the sun rises with glowing promise. I praise you at noon when everyone stops the bustle of the morning for a moment of respite and taking a deep breath. I praise you in the evening when all becomes quiet again and I rest once more, cozy in my bed knowing you are holding me in your protective arms during the darkness of the night. You are always there. And you make me feel as though I am the only person in the world. You are my dawn, my bright and shining sun, my moonglow.

Yesterday I was talking with some people who said they had met four friends while shopping. I was with them and said, “No, there were five friends.” Why did I do that? What difference did it make? All it did was fluster the person telling about it and confuse the people listening. I got them completely off the subject of chance meetings of friends and into an argument of how many friends we met. Lord, help me not say anything when it doesn’t matter.

Thank you, Lord, for the beauty of my surroundings. Sometimes I am where there are mountains with white snow on top. Sometimes I am in valleys where green trees abound and there is grass to walk on and tickle my toes. Sometimes I am in a wide desert where I can see forever and the sky seems so much larger. How delightful you have made the earth with all its variations teasing and tantalizing me as I travel around your creation like skipping through verses of poetry.
