ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
JANUARY 15TH,2007
TODAY'S THOUGHT
Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them.
Ann Landers
TODAY’S ACTION
Learn to think of opportunity instead of security.
TODAY’S QUOTE
No one else "makes us angry." We make ourselves angry when we surrender control of our attitude. What someone else may have done is irrelevant. We choose, not they. They merely put our attitude to a test.
Jim Rohn
HAPPY MONDAY
A lot of people have the day off due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, however, I have to go to work as usual. It will probably be a pretty quiet day. I’ll have the Saturday mail to open and distribute but no mail today!
When I left work on Friday all my work was done so that means today I’ll do some data entry and start cleaning out the 2006 files to make room for 2007.
I saw DD and DS#5 at church Sunday and they said they went to DS#6’s art show Saturday evening. DD is still studying hard and DS#5 is working on the Scholastic Art Fair for the students at the High School. DS#4 will be off on one of his many business trips tomorrow.
DS#1 and family went to see DDIL#1's mom and she is home now and recooperating very well. Thank the dear Lord !
Busy busy days for my family.
You are all in my prayers always!
The weather across the country looked pretty bad over the weekend, we may see snow start to fall here later tonite and tomorrow. Remember if the roads get bad, give yourself some extra time and take it slow!
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…RAIN FOREST DAY
Most people don't know how important forests are to our planet. When we destroy them, we create great changes in the ecology. WWF is involved in projects all over the world that try to help people use forests wisely.

TODAY’S SMILE
What Do Angels Look Like???
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world, when you smile.
Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it really is all possible, if only you believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart, when you didn't think you had one to touch.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies, teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address, they ask nothing in return.
They wear sneakers with gossamer wings, they get a deal on dry cleaning.
They are hard to find when our eyes are closed, but they are everywhere we look, when we choose to see.

TODAY’S REFLECTION
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
God never said that our lives would be without pain and difficulty. That has never been part of God’s temporal relationship with humanity. What the Almighty did guarantee is that through it all, we would not be alone, and that we would be supported in our every need.
As we move through our days, let us recognize that God is with us and since God is with us, then we will be able to persevere. Remember that our lives are opportunities for us to discover the glory and the majesty of God. As we recognize this truth, we can begin to experience the love of God in every season of life.

TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
GOOD SEWING scissors will be dulled by cutting anything but fabric and thread. Relegate the cutting of paper, canvas, and other materials to all-purpose household shears
Since 1986, the third Monday in January has been a federal holiday in observance of the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., a Baptist minister, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and civil rights leader dedicated to nonviolence. It was the first new federal holiday created since 1948, when Memorial Day became a national holiday, and only the third in this century (the other was Armistice, or Veterans, Day).
64 DAYS UNTIL SPRING !
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
