ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
OCTOBER 8TH, 2008


TODAY'S THOUGHT

Happiness is when what you think, what you say,
and what you do are in harmony

Mahatma Gandhi



TODAY’S ACTION

Renew yourself with quiet time


A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much,
and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.

Georges Bernanos


TODAY’S QUOTE

In times of change, the learner will inherit the earth while the learned are beautifully equipped for a world that no longer exists.

Eric Hoffer


HAPPY WEDNESDAY !!

OVER THE HUMP DAY!

It is supposed to be a little rainy today so it’ll be up to us to make our own sunshine here in northern Ohio. The good news is that our temps are supposed to be in the 70’s all the way through the weekend.

This weekend they are having a Fall Festival at the campground. On Saturday we’ll have a Chili Cook Off and some trick or treating too. I’m making mild chili just like I always make and DSIL is making the ‘hot’ chili…which warms you up for sure. DS#6 and his wife are supposed to come and spend the weekend with us and will be bringing their 2 dogs. Yes, they now have 2. I’ve not met my newest grand dog, but he sounds like a lover. I hope to have pictures to show you all on Sunday evening.

This work week is a long one for sure as I have to do payroll again on Friday. This coming Monday is Columbus Day which means the banks are closed so I’m doing Monday’s work on Friday. I do not like these Monday holidays at all.

Next week will be a short one as I’ll have Friday the 17th off for a vacation day. This will be the last long weekend for me of this camping season. I still have a couple days of vacation left for Thanksgiving and Christmas…but this will be the last one for camping. I’m going to miss my little place in the woods.

Excuse me if I’ve said that before.

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !


TODAY’S PRAYERS

Lord, give me a spirit that unabashedly
celebrates You and the joy of living


Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.

Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.


25 WORDS

God, I thank You for today, for the ways You will bless me,
and for the ways that I will serve others in Your name


TO REMEMBER…

I am in the hands of God,
and in God’s time all things will be made well.


TODAY IS…WALL PAPER DAY

Since the Chinese invented papermaking, people think they also invented wallpaper. Wrong! Wallpaper was invented in France during the late 15th century. It was intended to be a cheap substitute for fancy woven tapestries, but it soon became very popular. When the paper mills started running across Europe, wallpaper could have stenciled, hand-painted or printed designs

TODAY’S SMILE


I'd rather be over the hill than under it.


Wisdom from Grandpa

Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar.

Too many couples marry for better or for worse, but not for good.

When a man marries a woman, they become one, but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

If a man has enough "horse sense" to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never be an old nag.

On anniversaries the wise husband always forgets the past... but never the present.

The bonds of matrimony are a good investment only when the interest is kept up.


Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand


TODAY’S WORD

implacable \im-PLAK-uh-bull\, adjective:
Not placable; not to be appeased; incapable of being pacified;

inexorable; as, an implacable foe

Implacable ultimately comes from Latin implacabilis, from in-, not + placabilis, placable, from placo, placare, to soothe, calm, appease



TODAY’S REFLECTION

The Kingdom of heaven is like someone looking for fine pearls and when they find one that is unusually fine, they go and sell everything they have and buy that pearl.

Matthew 13:45-46

Someone asked Ignace Paderewski a famous concert pianist why he made time to practice on his piano each day. He answered, “If I skip one day, I notice it. If I skip two days, critics notice it. If I skip three days, audiences notice it.”

For all of us there are special people and important things to do in our lives that need time and attention. It may be our family, a friend, a relationship, an interest or hobby. It may be time for prayer or rest. It may be looking after our health.

We may have let what’s important slip us by, through a lack of time or a lack of effort on our behalf to make it important. When we choose not to make it important there is always a loss. But today I can choose to make someone or something a priority in my life again
