ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
MARCH 3RD, 2009


TODAY'S THOUGHT

As the bus slowed at the crowded bus stop the driver called out, "Six only!" He counted on six passengers and called to those left behind: "So sorry, plenty of room in my heart - but the bus is full." He left a row of smiling faces.

It's not what you do, it's the way you do it

TODAY’S QUOTE

When one door closes, another opens.
But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door
that we don't see the one that has opened for us

Alexander Graham Bell



IT’S TUESDAY !!

BrrrChill !

We may not have got the snow that a lot of people did, but we have been very cold with wind chills making it even colder. March is notorious for the wind and it is making itself known to us for sure.

Tomorrow we’ll be warmer so that is good news. I’m hoping that after this cold snap we will not be going down into those single digits anymore this year.

I’m always thankful for my fleecy pj’s and think that who ever invented them must have had northern Ohioans in mind when they did so

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


TODAY’S PRAYERS

O God, thank you for placing in our lives people
with whom we can share your love.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen


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.

GOD BLESS YOU!

. . .AND GOD SAID "NO"

I asked God to take away my pride,

And God said "No."

He said it was not for Him to take away,

But for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,

and God said, "No."

He said her spirit is eternal,

While her body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience,

And God said, "No."

He said patience is a by-product of tribulation.

It isn't granted - it is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness,

And God said "No."

He said He gives blessings,

Happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain,

And God said "No."

He said, "Suffering draws you apart from

Worldly cares and brings you close to Me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow,

And God said "No."

He said I must grow on my own,

But he will prune me to make it fruitful.

I asked God if He loved me,

And God said "Yes."

He gave me His only Son, who died for me,

And I will be in heaven someday

Because I believe

.I asked God to help me love others

As much as He loves me,

And God said,

Ah, finally you have the idea
