Let’s Laugh:
•What do you call a cow with a twitch?... beef jerky.
•I hate it when I think I'm buying ORGANIC vegetables, but when I get home, they're REGULAR donuts.
•Grocery store produce sign: “Take lettuce from top of stack, or heads will roll!”

Let’s Ponder:
WYSIWYG, What You See Is What You Get. It is true with how we see people. If we see (look for) the negative, we will see the negative. Conversely, if we see (look for) the positive, we will see the positive. What we see (look for) is how we treat people. See the best in others, and we will bring out the best in others. (John Maxwell principle)

Let’s Pray:
Lord, in this time of such great divide, help us not to see people in negative ways but to look for the positive. Help fill us with your Holy Spirit to accept others who see things differently than we do. Help us to look for the good and not the bad in others, and may we treat them as You would.
“God pays no attention to what others say (or what they think) about you. He makes up his own mind.” Romans 2:11 MSG

As we open, remember that the best is yet to come! See you this Sunday!!!
