CATEGORY THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar… and the coffee…

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The National Day of Prayer (NDP) is an annual event for Americans of all faiths to take time to pray for our nation and its leaders. The NDP was established by an act of Congress as a day to call the entire nation to prayer. The NDP Task Force focuses specifically on promoting the need to pray for our nation and those in positions of cultural influence.

National days of prayer have been called as early as 1775, with the First Continental Congress. Abraham Lincoln also called for such a day in 1863. The NDP as an annual event was established by a Joint resolution of Congress in 1952, and signed into law by President Truman. The law was amended in 1988 and signed by President Reagan to be the first Thursday of May each year.

Prayer for the Nation

Our Father and our God, we thank you for the many blessings You have poured out on America and we praise You for your mercy.

You have said: \”Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people\”.

We confess, O Lord, our national and personal sins.

We repent and ask forgiveness for all actions that dishonor you.

O God, bless our President and other leaders.

Provide them with wisdom and move them to honor You.

Deliver this great nation from all our enemies as we recommit ourselves to trust, serve and obey Your commands.

We pray in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Mayor and City Council of the City of Gloucester City NJ would like to thank everyone who participated in our semi-annual Clean-Up Day held on April 17, 2010 in Gloucester City. In addition, we would like to thank those groups (unable to help on Saturday, due to previous commitments) who will be cleaning up in the next few weeks.

On Saturday, almost 300 people from about 30 different groups picked up another 250 bags of trash, from Market Street, Collings Avenue, Broadway, the High School, Martin’s Lake, Miller’s Pond, the railroad tracks, parks, playgrounds, and the ball fields.

These individuals and groups worked hard and should be commended for their volunteerism and community spirit.

The number of groups and individuals are too numerous to mention and their dedication to this community is appreciated. We would also like to thank the various city departments, committees, and employees who participated in this event. Gloucester City continues to move forward and we say \”Thank you for another great job in cleaning up the community!\”
