This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Tuesday

Forgiveness is God’s invention for coming to terms with a world in which, despite their best intentions, people are unfair to each other and hurt each other deeply.  He began by forgiving us.  And he invites us all to forgive each other.
Lewis B. Smedes

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.  For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free- and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:12-13
The English Standard Version

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Monday

When we are powerless to do a thing, it is a great joy that we can come and step inside the ability of Jesus.
Corrie ten Boom

For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized.  And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.
Colossians 2:12
The New Living Translation

Love the sinner, hate the sin?  How about: Love the sinner, hate your own sin!  I don’t have time to hate your sin.  There are too many of you!  Hating my sin is a full-time job.  How about you hate your sin, I’ll hate my sin and let’s just love each other!
Mark Lowry

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Friday

Holiness involves friendship with God.  There has to be a moment in our relationship with God when he ceases to be just a Sunday acquaintance and becomes a weekday friend.
Basil Hume

Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,
Proverbs 2:11-12
The New King James Version

God sent children for another purpose than merely to keep up the race- to enlarge our hearts; and to make us unselfish and full of kindly sympathies and affections; to give our souls higher aims; to call out all our faculties to extended enterprise and exertion; and to bring round our firesides bright faces, happy smiles, and loving, tender hearts.
Mary Botham Howitt

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Thursday

If you are in a difficult situation, a low mood, if you are afraid of other people and of yourself, if you are tormented, then tell yourself: “I will love everyone whom I meet in this life.”  Try to follow this rule; and you will see that everything will find its way, and everything will seem simple, and you will no longer have doubts or fears.
Leo Tolstoy

I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Wednesday

Do little things as though they were great, because of the majesty of Jesus Christ who does them in us, and who lives our life.  Likewise, do the greatest things as though they were little and easy, because of His omnipotence.
Blaise Pascal

“And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God, but the one who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.”
Luke 12:8-9
The English Standard Version

If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you.

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Tuesday

No man ever sunk under the burden of the day.  It is when tomorrow’s burden is added to the burden of day that the weight is more than a man can bear.  Never load yourself so.  If you find yourself so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God’s.  He begs you to leave the future to Him and mind the present.
George MacDonald

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Want To Help?

Dear Ministry Members,
Can you help us reach more people with our daily Christian messages?
During this month of thanksgiving, we wish to share our annual fundraising efforts as we fiscally plan for our next year of ministry.
Simply put, This Day’s Thought from the Ranch needs your financial support so that we can perform the Lord’s work as He continues to lead us.  The resources we require are modest by most standards of measurement, but are so very necessary none-the-less.  Over the years we have “framed” our requirements in this way…
“We need so little, but we need that little so very much!”
We have been blessed by such a special ministry partnership (between The Ranch ministry and This Day’s Thought)…and have been blessed by such wonderful and significant ministry volunteers…and have been so blessed by you, our readers and ministry participants.  And thus, we feel so led to want to share these many blessings and reach that many more people, from all over the world, with our daily Christian “seeds” and sermons and numerous other resources.
Can you help us continue forward into this next new year, with the blessing of your one-time donations and monthly pledges?  And may God bless you with His wisdom and direction as you consider such aid and support.
We have just completed some wonderful new quote books to express our appreciation of all of you, our ministry members.  The first is our largest collection yet of the Christian quotations that we have shared daily over the last fifteen years, called simply “15 Years of This Day’s Thought.”  This 8”x10” coffee-table sized paperback book contains over 1,700 of our best thoughts for inspiration and encouragement, all categorized into 40 topics for easy reference, meditation and enjoyment.

The second set of books are in the form of 5.5”x8.5” personal journals in paperback, containing 201 lined pages with an abundance of space for your own thoughts and writings of contemplation, plus 101 inspirational quotes at the bottom of every other page.  We are offering 3 books at this time, one featuring quotes on “Prayer,” another with quotes on “Love,” and the third with quotes on “Faith.”
As you visit our “Donations” page on our web site, you may select any one of these new offerings (or any of our other wonderful books or CD’s), as our expression of thanks for your financial gift and support, and we will send that publication right off to you.
Thank you all so much for your participation in this ministry.  Thank you for your prayers over The Ranch, and Eric and me and the volunteers.  And thank you most sincerely, for your considerations of financial support to all these efforts, as your help makes all the difference!

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Monday

Nothing but the name of Jesus can restrain the impulse of anger, repress the swelling of pride, cure the world of envy, bridle the onslaught of luxury, extinguish the flame of carnal desire- can temper avarice, and put to flight impure and ignoble thoughts.
Bernard of Clairvaux

Let all that I am praise the LORD; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.  Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me.
Psalm 103:1-2
The New Living Translation

Heroes are not the ones that never fail, but the ones who never give up.

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Friday

The safest road to hell is a gradual one.  This safe road has a gentle slope, without turns, without milestones, without signposts, without warnings.
C. S. Lewis

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
Proverbs 28:19
The King James Version

Hence we must support one another, console one another, mutually help, counsel, and advise.
Thomas a Kempis

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Thursday

True love hurts.  It always has to hurt.  It must be painful to love someone, painful to leave them, you might have to die for them.  When people marry they have to give up everything to love each other.  The mother who gives birth to her child suffers much.  It is the same for us in the religious life.  To belong fully to God we have to give up everything .  Only then can we truly love.  The word “love” is so misunderstood and so misused.
Mother Teresa

How can a young man keep his way pure?  By guarding it according to your word.
