ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
OCTOBER 17th, 2009


TODAY'S THOUGHT

Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on;
Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
Til in Heaven the deed appears
Pass it on
Henry Burton


JUST FOR TODAY

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

Just for today: I will trust in God. My life is in the care of God, and will I trust in His divine order




TODAY’S QUOTE

Teach us Delight in simple things,

And Mirth that has no bitter springs.
Rudyard Kipling


IT’S SATURDAY !!

Good Morning Sweet Things…It is Sweetest Day here in the USA and I’m wishing you all the best of ‘sweet things’ today!

I’m off early this morning to go and get my flu shot. They open at 9:00 so I figured I’d leave here about 8:30. I hope it won’t be a long wait. I’ve heard that you can use your Medicare card for these shots so today will be the very first time I’ll get to use it and hopefully won’t use again until next year’s flu shot.

After the shot business I’ll head to the camper to see what I can pack away. I’ve made what my babes call the ‘moving sub’ for lunch and am taking everyone’s favorite chips to go with it.

I guess it is called ‘moving sub’ (submarine sandwich) because I’ve fixed it so many times when someone in our family has been moving. All those years of helping kids move made for a lot of sandwiches for sure.

This is it—the official end of camping season for me this year. I’m not camping there at all this weekend. I’m just packing stuff away and DSIL will probably help me by getting the antifreeze pumped through my water lines. That will be it. We’ll lock everything away til next April sometime.

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

TODAY’S SMILE

Mother Mouse was crossing a path in the woods with her three little babies. She noticed a big cat crouching behind a bush. The cat eyeballed Mother Mouse. Mother Mouse eyeballed the cat.

Then Mother Mouse bellowed out,
Woof, woof, woof.
The cat got so scared that it jumped up and ran away.

Mother Mouse proudly turned to her babies and said,

Now do you see the value of learning a second language?



TODAY’S REFLECTION

Why is it Abraham who rates the title ‘father of all … who believe’?

Romans 4:11

Faith has been described as a personal adherence of the whole man to God who reveals himself. Not just Abraham’s intellect but his will and his entire self—the whole ma--clung to the God who had revealed Himself to him

Faith is a supernatural gift from God. So we should never think that we can create this faith solely by our own good intentions. No, it has already been planted in our hearts, and God is waiting for us to make the right choices that will allow it to blossom in us


TODAY’S ADVICE

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4

Be Blessed !!!
