July 8


James 5:11 - NLT
We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy.

Gretchen wanted the job so badly. The doctor had told her she had to lose twenty pounds in order to pass the physical. Tina and Ann also had to lose weight to join the company. After a couple of weeks, Tina gave up. One week later, Ann folded, too. They both told Gretchen she was wasting her time. Gretchen didn't care. She held on, got her position, and never once regretted all she had to do to get it. She thanked the Lord that she had the strength to hold on when her friends had given up. Without His help, she never would have made it.

Today's Thought:  Job lost everything, and God blessed him greatly for what he suffered. If Job can endure, so can I!

Today's Tip:  Are You Nuts for "Diet" Peanut Butter?
Well, the truth is, the reduced-fat variety is really not all that
different nutritionally from the regular kind. According to Jif, a
two-tablespoon serving of their regular creamy peanut butter is
comprised of 16 grams of fat and 190 calories. The reduced-fat version of creamy Jif: You're getting four less grams of fat for the same size serving -- 12 grams of fat for those two tablespoons -- but guess what? It has the same amountof calories as the regular kind, 190!
