Reminder for Pentecost, June 8, 2025

Acts 2:   Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.

1 Corinthians 12:To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.

John 14:  The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you."

 


John 1

    How simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roasted chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea . . . . All that is required to feel that here and now happiness is a simple, frugal heart.

    True?     Inner Peace:

     If you can start the day without caffeine,

     If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

     If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

     If you can eat plain food every day and be grateful for it,

     If you can understand when you’re loved ones are too busy to give you any time,

     If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,

     If you can conquer tension without medical help,

     If you can relax without liquor,

     If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,

    Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!

    Ezekial 18:  Hear now, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair?
    Philippians 2:  Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,  each looking out not for his own interests, but also for those of others.
    Matthew 21:  Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

     


    Don’t be afraid of the unknown. It is, in fact, the doorway to the future. “The illiterate of the 21st century,” Alvin Toffler said, “will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”
