ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
MARCH 15TH, 2010
It's MONDAY!
BACK TO WORK TODAY!
Start every day with a smile and get it over with
W.C. Fields
Looking at the calendar for this week there is nothing much but work for me. The good news is that after today there will be just 3 more Monday payrolls to endure. I can only hope the person I’ll be training is quick to pick up on things.
The weather this week is not going to be as nice as we had last week, but still the highs will be in the 40’s and that is normal for us this time of year. Last week’s temps were not normal but they did get rid of all that snow.
THINKING
It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal
Helen Keller
Today: Think of someone whose life you are tempted to envy and then choke out these words: Thank you, God, for the blessings you have given to X. Help me to see my own.
Change isn’t always easy. But God always goes before you into every new situation. All you have to do is seek His presence, and you will discover new and exciting ways to meet Him
NEW IN THE KITCHEN

PRAYERS
Father, you generously provide for all my needs. You know me through and through. Please help me to embrace any of the changes You may send my way
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!
AROUND HOME
Today is Buzzard's Day - This is the day that the turkey buzzards return to Hinckley, Ohio. Sponsor: Park Rangers, Hinckley, OHIO
We do have some seasonal celebrations going on here in Ohio. Buzzards are not as picturesque as the swallows of Capistrano but they are a sign that Spring is just about here.
I took a peak at the Farmer’s Almanac forecast for Spring and Summer this year. They say we’ll have a wetter than normal spring with stormy weather and we’ll have a hotter than usual Summer.
We’ll see. . .
FAMILY
I went to church with DD Saturday evening and then heard from DS#1 Sunday evening. I also heard from DS#2 and he only has 2 more weeks of travel till he gets a break at home and then he’ll be off again. It sounds as if DS#4 is also home for now. These two travel more than they are at home sometimes. I’m always praying for safe trips for them.
COUNTING THE DAYS
Time is what prevents everything from happening at once
John Archibald Wheeler

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…
Love,

I always enjoy learning about your part of the world through your posts. Today I find the info about Buzzard Day interesting! I like your thoughts about change, too.
I've never seen a turkey buzzard, but I am thinking they are probably not a pretty sight. But then again, there is beauty to be found in all of God's creations so I am sure they have some redeeming qualities! Have a great week at work! xxoo
