ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

March 9th, 2013

11 DAYS UNTIL SPRING

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

It's SATURDAY

GET OVER IT DAY

Get Over It Day is based on the idea that EVERYONE has SOMETHING to get over. Strategically the exact midpoint between Valentine’s Day and April Fool’s Day, Get Over It Day (March 9) is the day to finally get over that ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, those stressful school or work-related issues, any fears, insecurities, embarrassing moments, bad relationships, etc.

Get mad, then get over it. 

Colin Powell

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully.  After five years, look at it with suspicion.  And after ten years, throw it away and start all over.  

Alfred Edward Perlman

I am so over Winter.  It needs to just be done and over and let Spring have it's fling.  Our time changes tomorrow to Daylight Savings Time.  We'll still have 24 hours in the day but we'll lose an hours sleep due to the change.

So don't forget to Spring Forward those clocks one hour before you go to bed tonight.

I actually saw these baby chicks that are in today's pictures, in  our local Rural King store the other day.  What a nice reminder that Spring is near.

I hope you all have a super Saturday!

FINAL REMINDER

PRIORITY FOR TODAY:

The first to apologize is the bravest,
the first to forgive is the strongest,
and the first to forget is the happiest.

Forgiveness

Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?  Jesus answered, I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

Matthew 18:21-22

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway . 

Mary C. Crowley

I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts.

I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day,

342. for the miracle of forgiveness

343. for slightly warmer days ahead

344. for my Butter Toffee flavored coffee this morning

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

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 !

To be upset over what you don't have is to waste what you do have.

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