ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
OCTOBER 22ND, 2011
It's SATURDAY!
MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY
Initiated in 1990, this is a national day is for devoted to helping others by doing volunteer work in the community. The activity can be almost anything. Millions of Americans participate in community improvement projects. It takes the form of cleanup, fixup, painting, and repair in poorer neighborhoods, parks and municipal facilities. It doesn't matter what project you take on. It doesn't matter whether you help a non-profit organization, the community, your town, nursing home, a church, a food kitchen, or any other group in need. What matters is that you participate.
Make a difference on Make a Difference Day!
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
William James

our troops and HIS wisdom for their

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.

AROUND HOME
We can do no great things, only small things with great love.
Mother Teresa
John Fitzgerald Kennedy said that One person can make a difference and every person should try.
When you show up for the people in your life, even though you’re having a hard day, you make a difference.
When you practice what you preach, you make a difference.
When you give people the benefit of the doubt, you make a difference
When you find beauty in the world around you and help other people see it, you make a difference.
If each drop of water in the ocean contributes to making a difference, imagine how much you can contribute.
I hope your Saturday is a wonderful one!
COUNTING THE DAYS

... that today you should take a vacation from worries. Take this moment to conjure up a fond memory. A time in your life when you were content and happy. Dwell on that moment for a while, let those feelings of contentment permeate your soul. Today is a good day to be content, so take a vacation from your worries.

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