Things God does for us. Psalm 103. Check it out!

1. He pardons all your iniquities
2. He heals all your diseases.
3. He redeems your life from the pit.
4. He crowns you with loving kindness and compassion.
5. He satisfies your years with good things.
6. He performs righteous deeds and judgments.
7. He makes known His ways to you.
8. He is compassionate and gracious; slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness.
9. He will not always strive with us or keep his anger forever.
10. He does not deal with us according to our sins, or reward us according to our iniquities.
11. He removes our transgressions from us.
12. He has compassion on us like a father, on those who fear him.
13. His loving-kindness is from everlasting to everlasting (that’s a long time)
14. His righteousness is to the children’s children who keep His covenant.

Funny for the week: "Census Taker"

An old man was sitting on his porch, when a young man walked up with a pad and pencil in his hand.

"What are you selling, young man?" he asked.

"I'm not selling anything, sir," the young man replied. "I'm the census taker."

"A what?" the man asked.

"A census taker. We are trying to find out how many people are in the United States."

"Well," the man answered, "you're wasting your time with me; I have no idea."
