Thought For Today!

I am Third There was a boy who was very popular among others his age. He was an excellent leader in his school groups. One of his friends visited him and saw a homemade plaque in his room with the words "I Am Third" on it. His friend asked him what it meant and he replied, "It is the motto I try to use in my life. It means "God is first, Others are second, and I am Third.'" The driving force in our lives should be trying to please God. Secondly, we should take into consideration the needs and pleasures of others. With our own pleasures subordinated, we will truly be the humble servants of God.

Hi Annette. Wow! We should all strive to be third! Thanks, dear sister. Love, Peg

Hello Annette!! Wow! What a powerful message! I always tell my son he's my second. He already knows who's first in my life and very glad to be my second! In his "second place" he told me to add my boyfriend, my family, but we've never really thought of who could be third.....mmm from now on it is me and before me everyone else!!!! God Bless you, Letty

That reminds me of a Sunday School chorus I learned as a child...the words are to the tune "Jingle Bells" J-O-Y, J-O-Y (spell it out) That must surely mean Jesus first, Yourself last, And others inbetween. luvitsunnyv
