Bible in a Year:
The Lord said to me, Throw it to the potter! Zechariah 11:13
Now an accomplished writer, Caitlin describes the depression she battled after fighting off an assault. The emotional violence cut deeper than her physical struggle, for she felt it proved how undesirable I was. I was not the kind of girl you wanted to get to know. She felt unworthy of love, the kind of person others use and toss aside.
God understands. He lovingly shepherded Israel, but when He asked them what He was worth, they paid me thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12). This was the price of a slave; what masters must be reimbursed should their slave be accidentally killed (Exodus 21:32). God was insulted to be offered the lowest possible valuelook at the handsome price at which they valued me! He said sarcastically (Zechariah 11:13). And He had Zechariah throw the money away.
Jesus understands. He wasnt merely betrayed by His friend; He was betrayed with contempt. The Jewish leaders despised Christ, so they offered Judas thirty pieces of silverthe lowest price you could put on a personand he took it (Matthew 26:1415; 27:9). Judas thought so little of Jesus he sold Him for nearly nothing.
If people undervalued Jesus, dont be surprised when they undervalue you. Your value isnt what others say. Its not even what you say. Its entirely and only what God says. He thinks you are worth dying for.
How would you describe your value? Who can you help to grasp true value?
Im grateful that Im valued by You, God!
Hi Everybody!

The FR Canteen is Free Republic's longest running daily thread
specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
We defeat the enemy then we take care of them. What other country in history has done that; but yet we’re hated.
Thanks for the Berlin Airlift story, Kathy, always one of my favorites and very appropriate for the Christmas Season.
And the only foreign land we inhabit is that for which to bury our war dead.
Here is an interview with Gail Halvorsen, the candy bomber.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
Are you all rested and ready to take on the new day?
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Penny were able to get in at least a small stroll.
Good evening, Mooch...glad you enjoyed.
Getting ready for Hanukkah?
Have you had much snow? Bad weather?
We have had snow, then rain, then snow, and then rain again. Things are not very white right now.
Good evening, Janey ((HUGS))
80 folks...my goodness that’s a big party. Glad you had fun.
