ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

MAY 24Th , 2006

TODAY'S THOUGHT

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

Albert Schweitzer

TODAY’S ACTION

Always be grateful for the kindness people show

TODAY’S QUOTE

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh!

There's so little hope for advancement.

Snoopy - Charles Shultz

HAPPY WEDNESDAY

Over the Hump Day!

Actually, I only have one more day after today of this work week! I love vacation days ! It won’t be a vacation day of rest, but of catching up around home. So much to do and so little time …. That is two days away however, and I still have to go to work today ! So I’ll say …

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

TODAY IS ASPARAGUS DAY

Asparagus is one of nature's most perfect foods. A member of the lily family, it's a nutrient-dense food high in folic acid - and a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin. It also has no fat, no cholesterol and is low in sodium. Under ideal conditions, an asparagus spear can grow 10 inches in a 24-hour period.

What an over-achiever!

TODAY’S SMILE

(smile: having an appearance of pleasure or approval)

It was far back in the country. In a certain home typhoid fever was raging. One daughter had died. One son was very low. The doctor came and said, "If we had ice we might save him but he will be gone before it can be obtained for it will require hours to get it." This was before the day of automobiles.

The mother, who loved him devotedly and believed in God and prayer, felt that God could and would, in some way, send ice. She immediately found a secluded place and began to plead the promises.

She prayed something like this, "Lord, Thou hast promised to supply our need. My son, unless ice is obtained immediately, will be gone." Then she reminded the Lord that she believed Him and would trust Him to send it in some way.

They said, while no clouds were visible, at the time of the conversation, as she held on they heard a strange noise. They listened and it was thunder. In a very few minutes the heavens were black and the rain began to pour. Soon they heard something like hail on the roof. They looked again and the hail was falling. In a very few minutes it was piled up against the fences and thick over the ground.

The old mother came out with a dishpan, scooped up a pan full and said, "Doctor here is ice. Here it is." She would shout, run out and fill her pan and say, "Doctor, here it is! God has sent it."

The glory was filling the place. The doctor looked on in wonder, and said, "I never saw it like this before."

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Do all things without murmurings and questionings: that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

Philippians 2:14-15

We have no more right to put our discordant states of mind into the lives of those around us and rob them of their sunshine and brightness than we have to enter their houses and steal their silverware.

Julia Moss Seton
