A noah's ark quote came today.....

Noah's Ark :

I’m not afraid of tomorrow for I’ve seen yesterday and I love today.
I learned this from Noah's Ark.


ONE: Don't miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat!

THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do
something really big.

FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage. Snails were on board with the
cheetahs.

NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by
professionals.

ELEVEN: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a
rainbow waiting.

Most people walk in and out of your life, but FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart.

Quotations: when I say I am a Christian....

This came in an email today....

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ  that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that 'I am clean living. I'm whispering 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible,

but God believes I am worth it.

When I say 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches,

so I call upon His name.

When I say 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace!

A friend emailed these John Owen Quotes to me today!

 
I do not understand how a man can be a true believer, in whom sin is
not the greatest burden, sorrow and trouble
John Owen

Unless we are thoroughly convinced that without Christ we are under
the eternal curse of God, as the worst of His enemies, we shall never
flee to Him for refuge.
John Owen

God sometimes marvelously raiseth the souls of his saints with some
close and near approaches unto them -- gives them a sense of His
eternal love, a taste of the embraces of His Son and the inhabitation
of the Spirit, without the least intervening disturbance; and then this
is their assurance. But this life is not a season to be always taking
wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this
mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again,
complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its
assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and
exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears,
and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true,
when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried
up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.
John Owen

Adventure: a quotation

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered.

Quotations from my cousin in law

Man's way leads to a hopeless end -- God's way leads to an endless hope.
The value of life does not depend on the length of time on this Earth but rather on the amount of love given and shared to the people we care about.
