ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
AUGUST 4TH, 2009
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don't miss it
Leo Buscaglia
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will be creative in my own unique way. As I more fully express who I am, I will bless others, and blessings will flow back to me.
TODAY’S QUOTE
The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love
William Wordsworth
IT’S TUESDAY !!
Hopefully today will be a better day. Monday was a little on the grouchy side for me. I woke up on the wrong side of bed I guess.
First off I overslept by a half hour. That isn’t really much because I give myself plenty of time in the morning but it got the day off on the wrong foot.
From the looks of things I guess it is a good thing I have another vacation day on Friday. A short work week does tend to make things look a little brighter.
It would be grand to have a whole week or two of vacation at a time, but with the way my work is I am only allowed one day at a time. It works for me. Living one day at a time is always the best way to do it anyway.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY’S SMILE
Christian One-Liners
Don't let your worries get the best of you. Remember, Moses started out as a basket case
Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited - until you try to sit in their pews.
Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors
It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes and sand gnats come close!
When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there.
People are funny, they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.
Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.
Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn't belong.
God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?
Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set
Peace starts with a smile.
I don't know why some people change churches; what difference does it make which one you stay home from?
A lot of church members who are singing Standing on the Promises are just sitting on the premises.
We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.
Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
Don't put a question mark where God put a period.
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
God grades on the cross, not the curve.
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
He who angers you, controls you!
If God is your Copilot - swap seats!
Prayer: Don't give God instructions -- just report for duty!
The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.
The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.
We don't change the message, the message changes us.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.
The best mathematical equation I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.
TODAY’S REFLECTION
This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it
Psalm 118:24
Suffering eventually touches us all. And in times of difficulty, thankfulness is usually not our first response. But I think God looks at us with pleasure when we find reasons to be thankful (1 Thess. 5:16-18). As we realistically look for the good despite our bad circumstances, we can be grateful that God is holding us close. It is when we trust in His goodness that we find gladness
TODAY’S ADVICE
So many August fogs, so many winter mists
49 DAYS TIL FALL!
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
May there be a miracle in YOUR life today
and may you have the EYES to SEE it!
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!

Having Friday off would truly be a blessing. I've got all my vacation days planned. Any more will be taking away my Christmas time.
