ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
JULY 27TH, 2009
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb,
but how well you bounce
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will express any concerns I may have in prayer and release them to God. Once I have let them go, and I will trust God to guide me forward
TODAY’S QUOTE
I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.
Charles Schulz
IT’S MONDAY !!
I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for another new week. I’m not so sure if I am ready but it is Monday. Mr. Snowman and I had loads of fun this past weekend. . We watched every one decorate and undecorated and ate some good food. DS#1 and his wife and DD and DSIL did a great job decorating our campsite for Christmas in July. Party Hill was glowing for sure.
The week ahead will be a short work week once more for me as I have Friday off so I’ll be heading for the camp after work on Thursday. My fellow campers however will not be there as they have other things keeping them busy. I really prefer it when they are there, but that’s the way it goes.
The long range forecast says it’ll be in the low 80’s all week (finally warming up some here) and next weekend is looking good too.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S REFLECTION
Another parable he put before them, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field
Matthew 13:31
The tiny mustard seed literally grew to be a tree which attracted numerous birds because they loved the little black mustard seed it produced. God's kingdom works in a similar fashion. It starts from the smallest beginnings in the hearts of men and women who are receptive to God's word. And it works unseen and causes a transformation from within
TODAY’S ADVICE
To prevent moss from forming on a roof, mix up a solution of 2 capfuls of bleach and 1 gallon of water. Apply it to the shingles with a sponge
