A  THOUSAND  BIRDS 
A  THOUSAND  FLOWERS


Jesus - in his teens or in his twenties -
took a long walk into the hills near
Nazareth - and surprise - he saw 
the sudden of a thousand birds and 
the slow and the silence of a thousand flowers - and all alone, he stood there 
and said to the whole  world, 
“You have to see this to believe
what's behind all this. Do you?"

GREAT  TATTOO


We don’t know this but God
puts a tattoo on every person.

It’s in the shape of a package and
it has 2 words on it, “Care Package.”

And God sends them around the
world every day - for those in need.

You’re kidding?  Nope! What do you
want something longer, like  “I am
my brother and my sister’s keeper.”

Black History Month Thought for Today: 

All of us have moments in our childhood where we come alive for the first time. And we go back to those moments and think, This is when I became myself.”

WHAT DOES IT TAKE
TO GET THE GOLDEN RULE?

What does it take for someone
to learn the Golden Rule?

Do we  have to get burnt or do we
need to see ourselves on video?

Does it take good parents or good
grandparents - to give us good example?

What does it take for someone to learn
or to experience the Golden Rule?
