ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
APRIL 2ND, 2009


TODAY'S THOUGHT

If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.

Robert Fulghum



TODAY’S ACTION

Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles

IT’S THURSDAY !!

Thankfully I’m up and ready to go to work again today. I am so very thankful for every day that I can get up and go again and I hope you all are too. Remember some are not able to do just that. We never know how blessed we are until we don’t have the things we did have.

We had rain yesterday morning and then the wind blew in some sunshine for us for the rest of the day. Today is supposed to be a partly sunny one too.

Tonight is my Bible Study and then tomorrow is the last day of the work week.
It seems like this week is going by pretty fast even though I’ve had some long days at work. I have been keeping busy. That’s a good thing.

Take good care all !

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


TODAY’S PRAYERS
May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil and bring us to everlasting life
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!

TODAY’S SMILE

One laugh burns 6 calories . . .
Laughing is jogging for your insides . . .

Laughing heartily 100 times a day has the same
benefit as 10 minutes on a rowing machine . . .

If you want to know someone, just watch her laugh . . .
Laughter is to life what shock absorbers are to a car...

It doesn't take the potholes out of the road ,
but it sure makes the ride easier


Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves,
they will never cease to be amused


SOMETHING TO DO FOR LENT

When you pray today try using this short prayer that can easily be memorized and prayed quietly:

Jesus, Friend and Brother,
may we know you more clearly,
love you more dearly,
and follow you more nearly,
day by day

An English saint called Richard of Chichester (whose feast day is tomorrow) wrote the words and his prayer has been set to music in the song Day by day which is found in the album of the musical, Godspel
