ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

0CTOBER 15TH,2006

TODAY'S THOUGHT

A good memory is a great gift and talent

but the ability to forgive

Is a sign of true greatness and to forget the hurts

that were inflicted is a richer talent...

TODAY’S ACTION

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion, fear, resentment, or love. What seeds will you plant there?

Today plant seeds of kindness, love, and forgiveness

TODAY’S QUOTE

Let no one come to you without leaving better and happier.

Mother Teresa

HAPPY SUNDAY

Brisk north winds and a little sunshine made for a BrrCHILL Kind of day at the campground yesterday. We perservered with our winter coats on and did a nice hike around the nature trail . We put together a leaf book and identified several different types of trees which was a fun way to spend the day. The hike also got my blood circulating so I was a little warmer…we also sat around the campfire for a while had a nice dinner indoors and then We left about 6 o’clock for home. It was a fun day but chilly. I’ll post some pictures on my ‘Good Morning Sunshine ‘ journal page if you want to take a look.

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

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.

TODAY IS…SEWING LOVERS DAY

TODAY’S REFLECTION

Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Isaiah 55:7

We receive many blessings when we are able to forgive others. But we also need to forgive ourselves. I love the promise in today's scripture. When we turn to the Lord in repentance, he is quick to forgive. If God can love and forgive you, certainly you can take that pack of guilt off your back and be thankful. It’s a new day! Leave yesterday behind and face today with joy.
