Comparisons

a Jesus thought...
And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. (Luke 8:39)

a Godly thought... from Lucas out Loud by Jeff Lucas
It's been said that the devil is in the detail. I'm not sure if that's true, but it's good to know that God is. (p3 Lucas)

a leading thought...
Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are. (p35 Finzel)
a Dave thought...
Yesterday it was great to make the drive down to Jan Juc to hang out with my brother John and his family. About 6 months ago Johns wife Denise gave birth to Riley (pictured in the background) and a few weeks later my wife Kylie gave birth to Josiah (foreground). They have both been through their fair share of doctors appointments with Riley still described as "a miracle baby'' by Denise after a very traumatic birth.
When you sit around and have baby talk we are always so proud of what our own child is up to and the stages of progress they are going through. There is always comparisons going on as we discuss language and body movements and make sure our babies are growing at a normal rate. Well yesterday I realised what was more important was the fact that these two children both happy and playing together, (baby-style) have come into the world and made all of our lives better for it. It will be fascinating to watch their developments and journey through life together but most of all I thank God that they are both with us today.

Just a thought.

Hey Dave - I agree! Good to know you're a big "softy" deep down.
