ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
MAY 6TH, 2009


TODAY'S THOUGHT

God’s loving guidance comes in many ways. You can hear its gentle whisper in your heart. You can listen to it come out in the touching lyrics of a beautiful song. You can see it in the wise passage of a book. You can notice it in an overheard scrap of conversation.. However it comes to you, though, don’t turn away from it. Don’t make God have to tell you twice. Listen to Him the first time. Trust Him, love Him, and follow Him. He will take you to ever greater love, joy, and learning. He will keep you safe and lead you home.
Joseph J. Mazzella

JUST FOR TODAY

We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives

Just for today, I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me



TODAY’S QUOTE

God gave us two ears but only one mouth . . . Some people say that's becausehe wanted us to spend twice as much time listening as talking. Others claim it's because He knew listening was twice as hard as talking



IT’S WEDNESDAY !!

OVER THE HUMP DAY!

One more day of work after today and my 3 day weekend will begin!

Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend and I saw something on line that I thought was such a great idea that I’m going to share it with you today.
I wish I’d thought of this idea years ago, but sadly I didn’t.

The idea was a Mother’s Day journal. Oh, how I wish I’d taken the time to do one when my family was growing up. My memories of those days are so precious. All the little loving gifts the ‘babes’ made for me were such treasures. If I’d had a journal I could have written down exactly what we did and what they gave me. Maybe if you’re a Mom you’ll want to start one. I think I will. I am still a mom after all. If you’re not a mom, you could still do one about you’re your own Mother or someone who is like a mother to you.

One of my favorite memories was a picnic we had at one of the local parks. In those days we did a lot of picnicking. It didn’t cost a thing and everyone had a great time. There is nothing dearer to this mom’s heart than seeing her family having a good time.

Just a thought for you today…

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

TODAY’S SMILE

Think About It
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.
It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again; it was probably worth it.
Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.
To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.
Going to church does not make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger.
A coincidence is when God performs a miracle, and decides to remain anonymous.
Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side.
Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Following the path of least resistance is what makes rivers and men crooked.
Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond to it.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

We tend to use darkness to hide our hurts, faults, fears, failures, and flaws. But in the light, we bring them all out into the open and admit who we really are.

The God of light is everywhere, but anyone can chose to reject the Light

We value the light more fully after we’ve come through the darkness
