ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
APRIL 16th, 2011
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's SATURDAY!
National Stress Awareness Day
Is life putting on the pressure? Are the kids on your nerves? Is there enough money to pay all of those the bills? There are literally thousands of reasons for you to get stressed out.
RELAX!!! Today is National Stress Awareness Day. This is your opportunity to recognize that there is plenty of stress in your life... as if you didn't already know. More importantly, today is an opportunity to learn, and to do something about the stress...... before it drives you batty or worse.
April is also designated as Stress Awareness Month.
Did you know? There was method behind the madness. April 16 was designated as Stress Awareness Day because it is the day after taxes are due!
For fast-acting relief, try slowing down.

Starting the Day with a Psalm
Psalm 73: 1-5
The Message
No doubt about it, God is good
good to good people, good to the good hearted
But I nearly missed it, missed seeing his goodness
I was looking the other way
Looking up to the people
At the top.
Envying the wicked who have it made,
Who have nothing to worry about,
Not a care in the whole wide world.
LORD, Your Word says, God is good, all the time. But we often say, God is good, only some of the time. How else can we explain these good things happening to bad people? How else can we make sense of the bad things happening to good people?
But then, in quietness, I regain perspective. I remember how this Story concludes. I recall where this road leads. Eventually, both the bad things and the bad people end. Eventually, both the good things and the good people endure.
God, You are good, all the time!
Amen

Lord, hold our troops in

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.

COUNTING THE DAYS
Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.

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