Friday, February 12th. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

On this date (February 12, 1809) there were two tired Kentucky pioneers with their skinny dogs. They meet on a bleak February morning. One asked, “What is new out here, neighbor?” The other replied, “Nuthin at all … nuthin’ at all, ’cept for a new baby boy down to Tom Lincoln’s. Nuthin’ ever happens out here.”

In the light of history we know that God was causing great things to happen on that cold February morning—things of which the despondent pioneers were not aware.

Many may not remember this as Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and even fewer may remember your birthday and mine, but God knows not only your birthday, but also everything else about you. In spite of everything He still loves you, in fact He is quite fond of you. The writer of John 3:16 tells us that,

“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Just think, no telling what He is up to on our behalf today.

"God, Thank you for loving me.
Amen."

Love one another.
