ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
NOVEMBER 22nd, 2008
TODAY'S THOUGHT
When we attach value to things that aren't love – the money, the car, the house,
the prestige – we are loving things that can't love us back.
Marianne Williamson
TODAY’S ACTION
Rely on your faith during challenging times; be strong and courageous
TODAY’S QUOTE
Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It is already tomorrow in Australia
Charles M. Schulz
HAPPY SATURDAY !!
I’m at my computer once more and sipping the good hot coffee and slowly getting started here today. Right now I’m just enjoying the slow pace of Saturday morning and I don’t even want to think about doing anything. It is just so great not having to rush and not going out in the cold to work.
I think if anything makes me retire, it will probably be the northern Ohio winters. It isn’t even officially winter yet but I guess it doesn’t matter because it is weather wise
Lots to do here at home this weekend and I’m sure I will do it after I finish a couple more cups of coffee. I may just drink the whole pot.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

and for the ways that I will serve others in Your name
TO REMEMBER…
I am in the hands of God,

TODAY IS…THANKSGIVING DINNER 101 DAY
It's down to the wire - did you forget anything?
Thanksgiving can be painless
with our Turkey Tips
Make an aluminum foil cap that covers the top of the bird and lay it over the top - press the foil lightly at the ends of the drum sticks and the neck.
Place in over at 325 degrees - baste occasionally. Foil will be removed before the last 30 minutes of roasting to brown the bird. When foil is removed for browning also remove the skewers or cut band holding legs.
Roast the turkey until the meat thermometer registers 180 to185 degrees in the thigh.
This will show you approximate cooking times, but in all cases the thermometer is your best indicator.
Weight Cooking Time
6 to 8 pounds 3 to 3 1/2 hours
8 to 12 pounds 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours
12 to 16 pounds 4 to 5 hours
16 to 20 pounds 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours
20 to 24 pounds 5 to 6 1/2 hours
Check the drumstick which should twist easily in the socket and the thickest part of the turkey should be be soft. Remove from oven and cover loosely with new foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

TODAY’S SMILE
One day, as he was opening his shop, a very kind and generous barber was feeling all the more kind and generous- perhaps because it was nearing the Thanksgiving holiday, and he had much for which to be grateful.
The first customer to enter the shop for a hair cut was a local baker. The barber, wanting to express his gratefulness, decided to give the baker a free haircut. The next morning, when the barber came to work, he found a dozen freshly baked doughnuts on his doorstep, with a note of gratitude to the barber.
This really encouraged the barber, and made him even more grateful for life than he was the day before. In fact, he was so grateful that he decided to give the first customer of the day a free hair cut and a free donut also. Soon his first customer did arrive: a local florist. The florist was delighted with the free service and immensely enjoyed the doughnut.
The next morning, when the barber came to work, he found a dozen fresh roses on his doorstep, with a note of gratitude from the florist. This really encouraged the barber, and made him even more grateful about life than he was the previous day, or even the day prior to the previous day. In fact, he was so grateful and overjoyed about his good fortune, that he decided to give another free haircut to whoever might be the first customer of the day.
Soon a local pastor came in, and since this was the first customer, the barber gave him a free hair cut, as well as a rose to take home for his wife. The pastor was delighted with the service, and thanked the barber profusely. That night, as the barber closed his shop, he wondered what good fortune might befall upon him the next day.
The next morning, when the barber came to work,
he found a dozen preachers on his doorstep

TODAY’S REFLECTION
I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill His purpose for me
Psalm 57:2
Dreams can be illusive but we all have them. We make plans too, yet our plans are fragile, no matter how realistic and careful we are. We live in a fallen, broken world, where anything can happen and where we drink deeply of our own brokenness. Plans collapse. Dreams slip from our grasp when disappointment, catastrophe, bad choices, and roadblocks of all sorts put them out of reach. But God has a vital purpose for his children
God will not allow anything to interfere with His good purposes for His children, nor does He accomplish His purposes for one child at the expense of another. Because He is God, He is big enough to do this. There is great mystery to the way God works, but we can draw strength and courage from the fact that our lives are in God's hands and that He is accomplishing His purposes for them.
From a Bible Study by Women of Faith
