Friend 
Hope you are having a very productive week and that you are looking forward to the weekend.

As Thanksgiving is getting closer I am reflecting almost all the time about the things that I am grateful for. And I give God thanks for loving me and loving all his creation. Men and women in the Bible, most of them were poster child. Some were simple people like you and me. They struggled, just like you and me. They worship God and they are the example for you and me. Thank you God for giving me the role model of all times, Jesus Christ. Thank you for your Love!
The Man who Fell but Rose Again

Peter is another of those outstanding characters in the Bible gallery of men, requiring a book all his own to fully expound his life and labors. From the many references to this reed transformed into a rock, we gather these facts and features of "The Big Fisherman."

 

He received a triple call as friend, disciple and apostle. Through daily contact with Jesus, seeing and hearing His words and works, Peter's character was deepened and strengthened.

He was a man with many facets of character. His life can be approached from many angles. He was naturally impulsive (Matt. 14:28; 17:4; John 21:7); tenderhearted and affectionate (Matt. 26:75; John 13:9; 21:15-17); gifted with spiritual insight (John 6:68), yet sometimes slow to apprehend deeper truths (Matt. 15:15, 16); courageous in his confession of faith in Christ, yet

guilty of a most cowardly denial (Matt. 16:16; John 6:69; Mark 14:67-71); self-sacrificing yet inclined towards self-seeking (Matt. 19:27), and presumption (Matt. 16:22; John 13:8; 18:10); immovable in his convictions (Acts 4:19, 20; 5:28, 29, 40, 42).
