Proverbs day 4

 Study Proverbs 19:11 and 2 Corinthians 6:3-10

Q. Have I kept my anger under control?
Q. How have I seen/felt God's love?

We are God's servants. We should never "place a stumbling block" in our anger. Rather, as servants of God, we need to serve him with a happy heart so that our wisdom will reflect who we serve and affect our choices we make. (As does Mr. Rogers.)



For tomorrow study Proverbs 17:19 and 2 Corinthians 3:18, 4:7-12

Thoughtful Thursday: Mr. Rogers' Words of Wisdom

I love Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. It is an awesome kids show.



It ranks no. 1 on my list of kids programs (Barney comes second, Sesame street needs a magnify glass to see it on my list).

I recently read a couple books of his quotes, and a biography about him. Very interesting man. I didn't know he was a Christian!

This quote I copied and place it on my email signature...



When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong along with the fearful, the true mixed in with the facade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way. 
~ Fred Rogers

It is SO true. 

To love someone we need to be happy the way they were created, we are not to set out and find faults, but we are to set out and find the good in them. 

Kind of on the same topic, I recently read something that said only 2% of women think they are beautiful. They don't accept that they were created unique and with a purpose. They don't accept the way that God created them.


Psalm 50:2
From Zion, perfect in beauty,
    God shines forth.


We are perfect in beauty in God's eyes. 

NO ONE CAN CHANGE HIS MIND!

REJOICE!!!!

My Homage to Mr. Rogers of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

    "For Fred, perhaps the earliest prototype of a true .neighbor. took the form of an elderly woman who lived in his hometown of Latrobe, Pennsylvania. She was his grandmother.s age, and everyone called her Mama Bell. Many times five-year-old Freddy (as he was called) would amble up her back-porch steps looking for a snack. He would arrive strategically on her back doorstep because it led straight to her kitchen, where she often made him his favorite treat.toast sticks. .Come for toast sticks, Freddy?. she would ask. One day Mama Bell asked Freddy if he would like to make the toast sticks on his own. Imagine his delight at being able to master what seemed like a grown-up task, as well as his pride at being entrusted with Mama Bell.s specialty. He was prompted to put the bread in the toaster, allowed to slowly butter the toasted slice, and then top it off with a dollop of jam. Mama Bell even let him carefully cut the toast into four long sticks.
    Very soon after that encounter, Mama Bell got sick and died. Many decades later, Fred wondered if somehow Mama Bell had known she was reaching toward heaven and wanted Freddy to have this experience as a comfort to him, as a reminder of their unique friendship. Even though she was gone, he could now make toast sticks on his own, and he would always think of Mama Bell as he made them. Toast sticks may seem like a simple legacy, but they had a profound effect upon a young boy."
