ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
OCTOBER 6TH, 2009


TODAY'S THOUGHT

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it

Mary Engelbreit


JUST FOR TODAY

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

Just for today: Whether I'm following an exercise program, learning a new skill or developing a savings plan, I will remember that the creation process is a spiritual one and I will rely on God for help, support and guidance




TODAY’S QUOTE

Where the heart is willing it will find a thousand ways, but where it is unwilling it will find a thousand excuses

IT’S TUESDAY !!

Monday was a mostly sunny day. We did have a cool breeze blowing and some clouds too, but mostly it was sunny. Sunshine always improves my outlook.
The full moon was very bright and lit the way to work yesterday morning. October’s traditional name is Hunter’s Moon, though this year’s October moon has the distinction of being the Harvest Moon, because it falls closest to the autumn equinox

I was reading some tips on line for preventing the flu and one of the things they recommended, besides washing your hands frequently, was rinsing your mouth and gargling with a warm salt water solution twice a day. I remember always rinsing my mouth like that if I had a cancer sore from eating too many tomatoes in the summertime. They also said to keep your hands away from your face too. When you think about it is not easy to do.

Everyone also agrees that you need extra ‘C’ this time of year too. I know nothing better than to eat fresh oranges for that. I’ve been drinking extra juices just to see if it helps my lack of sunshine too.

We’ve got a chance of rain today but the temp will stay in the mid 60’s so that is a good thing. I am not looking forward to more rain at all, but I’ve no choice so will make the most of it.

I’ll be ON THE BEACH (in my mind anyway) most of the day.

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


TODAY’S PRAYERS

I’ve received a request for prayers for someone that will be undergoing surgery on her spine tomorrow. Please join me in praying for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery for her and may the dear Lord also guide the hands of the doctors caring for her.

Thank you, God, for the gift of salvation.
Help us to see others with your eyes of love
Amen


Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.

Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

GOD BLESS YOU!

TODAY’S SMILE

If you're going to be able to look back on something and laugh, you might as well laugh about it now

Marie Osmond


This is Really odd...

While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot.

While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

IT DOES! IT REALLY DOES!

TODAY’S REFLECTION

But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.

Mark 11:25

Leonardo da Vinci was one of the outstanding intellects of all history, for he was great as a draftsman, an engineer, and a thinker. Just before he commenced work on his Last Supper he had a violent quarrel with a fellow painter. So enraged and bitter was Leonardo that he determined to paint the face of his enemy, the other artist, into the face of Judas, and thus take his revenge and vent his spleen by handling the man down in infamy and scorn to succeeding generations. The face of Judas was therefore one of the first that he finished, and everyone could easily recognize it as the face of the painter with whom he had quarreled. But when he came to paint the face of Christ, he could make no progress. Something seemed to be baffling him, holding him back, frustrating his best efforts. At length he came to the conclusion that the thing which was checking and frustrating him was the fact that he had painted his enemy into the face of Judas. He therefore painted out the face of Judas and commenced anew on the face of Jesus, and this time with the success which the ages have acclaimed. You cannot at one and the same time be painting the features of Christ into your own life, and painting another face with the colors of enmity and hatred.
