A story is told that at a school carnival, two kids won four free goldfish, so the father went out Saturday morning to find an aquarium. The first few he saw were priced from $40 to $70. Then, he spotted it--right in the aisle: a discarded 10-gallon display tank, complete with gravel and filter--for a mere five bucks. He was sold! Of course, it was nasty and dirty, but the savings made the two hours of clean-up a breeze.

Today's thought comes from Luke 6:38 (TLB) which says, For if you give, you will get! Your gift will return to you in full and overflowing measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over.

In Eastern California, there is a place called Death Valley. It is the hottest, driest, and the lowest in the world. National Park and a land of extremes. It has steady drought and extreme summer heat, yet there the towering peaks are frosted with winter snow and rare rainstorms bring vast fields of wildflowers.

Today's thought comes from Psalms 23:4 which says, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

There was once a university in England, partially enclosed by a stone wall. An ivy bush was planted beside the wall with the hopes that the vines would grow and cover the wall. But, after many years, the ivy bush appeared dormant. Tired of waiting, the groundskeeper decided to give it one more year to grow.

Today's thought comes from Galatians 6:9-10 (TLB) which says, 9 And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up..

On January 12, 2007, a man just outside a subway station in Washington D.C. started to play the violin. Over the course of 45 minutes, he played six pieces, including pieces by Bach and Schubert. Because it was rush hour, exactly 1,097 people poured through the station, most of them on their way to work. After playing for almost an hour, he had received just under $33 in tips and no applause.

Today's thought comes from John 1:11-12 (TLB) which says, Even in his own land and among his own people, the Jews, Jesus was not accepted. Only a few would welcome and receive him. But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.
