ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

AUGUST 4TH,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's SATURDAY!  

National Mustard Day!

In 1991 the National Mustard Museum created Mustard Day. It’s aim is rather self explanatory; to celebrate and honor one of the world’s most popular condiments. From Dijon to English, or a liberal helping on an All American hotdog, this day your chance to voice your love for your favourite combination.

Mustard itself is believed to be over 5000 years old, originating in India when it was first cultivated in 3000BC. It was then brought to Britain by the Romans who were the first to use it as a condiment and pickling spice!

We definitely think this day cuts the mustard!

NEWS FROM HOME

He set another parable before the saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his  field, which indeed is smaller than all seeds.  But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches

Matthew 13:31-32

I guess we all love mustard.  It does give a good flavor to things.  I just put some in my potato salad they other day.  I put dry mustard in my baked beans too.   But when I think of mustard, I always think about faith.  Mustard seed faith.  Take a look at a mustard seed.  So tiny, isn't it.  You can barely feel it, it is so small.  If you don't have a mustard seed, then look at the point end of a pencil.  That is about the size of a mustard seed.

We don't need a lot of faith, just as much as a mustard seed, to provide good results.  God is an awesome God.  We must believe in Him and not worry about what we can or cannot do.

Have a Super Saturday everyone

PRAYER REQUEST

Please join me in praying for an old friend who recently suffered a heart attack.  She wrote saying - ended up

in the E.R. and it was a Heart Attack.  I got home on Wed.  and am getting a little stronger every

day........with Home Health Care.......but,  I sure could use all the prayers you could round up......

as I may have to go back for more repairs.

Many of my children will remember this dear friend as she taught many of them when they were in school.

May the dear Lord bless my friend with healing and a speedy recovery

Amen

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

He replied, Because you have so little FAITH.  I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there and it will move.  Nothing will be IMPOSSIBLE for you.

Matthew 17:20

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

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.

AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

COUNTING THE DAYS

Hebrews 11:1

 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

50 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Celebrate the happiness
that friends are always giving,
make every day a holiday,
and celebrate just living!
