TODAY'S SMILE

I purchased a telephone-answering machine with a prerecorded message that used a male voice. When Mother returned from vacation, I forgot to mention it to her.

TODAY'S REFLECTION

We often suffer, but we are never crushed. Even when we don't know what to do, we never give up. In times of trouble, God is with us, and when we are knocked down, we get up again. I Corinthians 4:8-9

What a courageous statement! And Paul was honest, for he had survived being beaten, shipwrecked, stoned, and other perils.And each time, Paul did get up again and go on with his mission for the Lord.

Although knocked down, with God's help, you'll be able to get up again.
