POSSIBLE<\/u><\/em><\/strong>
\nJesus said….”with men this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\n<\/u><\/strong>Nothing is impossible with God.\u00a0 Jesus made this pretty amazing statement while talking with His disciples and they were astonished. It was hard for their and our earthly minds to comprehend, but Jesus said it, so it is truth and we can rely on it! ” …with God, all things are possible.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Action:<\/u><\/strong>
\nExchange your impossibilities for God’s possibilities today!
\nStanding in a long exchange line today? Shopping for “day after bargains”?
\nFocus on this: God gave the perfect gift. No exchanges are necessary
\nHis gift was free. No need to wait for the “day after” sale.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the peace only He can give every day.<\/p>\n
