An apple a day

~When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one
as well as the other.~
Ecclesiastes 7:14

If any of us live long enough, we will experience bad days,
but rejoice, for God has a purpose for the bad days, just
as he does the good.  Remember:  Your "bad" day will
pass and sunshine is just around the corner!

An apple a day

VERSE OF THE DAY (NLT) - Romans 5:6-8

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us
sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though
someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God
showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still
sinners.
