ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
AUGUST 27TH, 2009
TODAY'S THOUGHT
If faith is lacking, it is because there is too much selfishness, too much concern for personal gain. For faith to be true, it has to be generous and loving. Love and faith go together, they complete each other
Mother Teresa
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for Today: I will accept the blessed assurance of God's love for me and for all creation.
TODAY’S QUOTE
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start
Mother Teresa
IT’S THURSDAY !!
I am so thankful it is Thursday! It means tomorrow is Friday and that is my favorite day of the week. Many times I do forget to say I’m thankful for my many blessings so today, thankful Thursday, I’m going to do just that.
I’m thankful for my family.
I’m thankful for my home
I’m thankful that I have what I need.
I’m thankful for my health
I’m thankful for my ‘little place in the woods’
I’m thankful for summertime
I’m thankful for my job
I’m thankful for my friends
I’m thankful for good books to read
I’m thankful for so many things, I think my list is just about unending and every time I think about it I realize just how very rich I am.
I’m supposed to be going to the fair with DD and her hubby this evening. They said they didn’t plan on staying late so I should be fine as far as getting up to going to work Friday morning. We’ll see…
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY’S PRAYERS
Mother Teresa’s Prayer
DEAR JESUS, help me to spread Thy fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Thy spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that all my life may only be a radiance of Thine. Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Thy presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others.
Amen

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
God Bless You!

TODAY’S SMILE
23rd Psalm for Busy People Author Unknown
The Lord is my pace setter, I shall not rush.
He makes me to stop and rest for quiet intervals.
He provides me with images of stillness, which restores my serenity.
He leads me in ways of efficiency, through calmness of mind.
And His guidance is my peace.
Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day
I will not fret, for His presence is here.
His timelessness, His all-importance will keep me in balance.
He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity
By anointing my mind with His oils of tranquillity.
My cup of joyous energy overflows.
Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hour,
For I shall walk in the pace of the Lord and dwell in His house forever
One more...
The bathtub was invented in 1850.
The telephone was invented in 1875.
This might not seem like much, but if you had lived back then, you could have sat in the bathtub for 25 years without being bothered by the phone
TODAY’S REFLECTION
I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am. I will not hold your sins against you
Isaiah 43:25
God doesn’t hold a grudge. If you have received Jesus as your Savior, then there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. He doesn't rub it in, he rubs it out. He doesn’t rehearse it, he releases it.
TODAY’S ADVICE

Psalm 37:4
May there be a miracle in YOUR life today
