ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

February 27th, 2007

TODAY'S THOUGHT

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.

Rosa Parks

TODAY’S ACTION

Create something beautiful with the intention of giving it away.

TODAY’S QUOTE

I believe God is managing affairs and that He doesn't need any advice from me. With God in charge, I believe everything will work out for the best in the end. So what is there to worry about.

Henry Ford

HAPPY TUESDAY

Today is the 2nd of my long work days this week. Hopefully tomorrow won’t be one too ! We had light flurries all day yesterday, but nothing really accumulated. The ground must have been above freezing as it just melted off. We still cannot see any grass in our yard though. Mounds are still there from the Valentines Day Storm.

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.

God Bless You !

TODAY IS… CELEBRATE THE MIRACLE OF YOU DAY

Each of us is a miracle, a unique marvel. You have a purpose for being here. Only you can discover the reason for your being here.

Choose happiness, choose love, choose to celebrate life...

It's up to YOU.

TODAY’S SMILE

We've all been passed by motorists on the road going much faster than we were. But you can imagine my shock at recently being passed by a speeding lady going down the middle of the road's dotted line at a truly breakneck speed (at least 100 mph, on only a two lane road)!

The danger she proposed was high, so you can imagine my relief when I passed her later on down the road parked in front of a car with whirling lights.

Their conversation went something like this... "License and Registration please," the officer asked.

"It's okay, Officer, I have a special license that allows me to do this," said the lady, smiling.

"Yeah, right!" he replied, "I've never heard of such a license."

The lady reached into her purse and handed him her license.

"Just as I suspected," the officer said, "this is an ordinary license, and I see nothing here that would allow you special consideration."

But the lady, still smiling, pointed to the bottom of the license. "See? It says so right here: 'Tear Along The Dotted Line.'" ********************************************************** What set of instructions are you following for your life?

Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. -Matthew 7:21, 1 John 2:17

TODAY’S WORD

ev·a·nes·cent adjective

Vanishing or likely to vanish like vapor.

Synonyms transient. –ev a·nes cent·ly adv.

The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

For, to begin with, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and to some extent I believe it.

1 Corinthians 11.18

Once upon a time, almost everybody was an ear. All the ears had a big convention and were having a wonderful time when a nose and a mouth walked in, sat down on the back row, and were very quiet. But soon the sergeant-at-arms walked over and said, "You fellows don't look like ears to me. I'm kicking you out." So the nose and the mouth left. But after a while the convention hall caught fire and destroyed all the ears because no noses were there to smell the smoke and no mouths were there to warn them the place was on fire!

A Parable by Arnold Prater

A person who loses her sense of smell suffers. A person who loses his or her eyes has a much different view point. The same thing is true about members of Christ's body, the church. Every one of us is essential. Everyone is indispensable.
