Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phillippians 4:4-8

1. A woman said to a taxi driver, “Cabbie, how much do I owe you?” He said, “Nothing ma’am. You did all the driving.”

2. Mommy, we had a fire in school today! Oh, that’s dreadful.

No, we’ve been rehearsing for it all year.

3. Why did the mother call her son Haley’s Comet? He came around every 76 years.

4. Why was the little shoe crying? His mother was a sneak and his daddy was a loafer.

5. A man in the Oval Office saw a gold phone. He was told he could talk to God on that phone. He called God and talked for 3 minutes, then he asked how much he owed. He was told, $300. A month later this man was transferred to Israel. He saw another gold phone and was told he could talk to God on that phone. He talked to God for 3 minutes, then asked how much he owed. He was told $3.00. He said, “What? In the Oval Office it cost me $300!” He was told, “Over here it’s a local call.”
