THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Paths clear before those who know where they are going and are determined to get there.
~ Leonard Roy Frank
These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, BUT having seen them and greeted them from afair....
for people who speak thus make it clear they are seeking a homeland. BUT as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one.
Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared for them a city.
~ Hebrews 11:13, 14, 16
Thought for the Week - Jacquie Peal.
15 January 2026
In the days when there was usually only one telephone per household, and that one hanging in the hallway for all to hear any conversation, my grandmother was living with us at a time when my mother had a very nasty dose of 'Gastric 'flu'.
The telephone rang and my grandmother answered it. It was one of her friends and in the course of the conversation, much to the hilarity of her grandchildren [us], she was heard to say, "Well, I'm very busy. I've got Peggy (my mum) in bed with the doctor, you know." !!!
How easy it is to say something the wrong way, or even to hear something the wrong way!
I'm sure my grandmother's friend knew exactly what she meant - I certainly hope so: at least, my mother's reputation did not seem to be tarnished afterwards.
Moral? Think before you speak and again, think twice before you respond!
With love,
Jacquie
