ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

February 25th, 2008

TODAY'S THOUGHT

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

TODAY’S ACTION

Celebrate the unique gifts that you bring to the world

TODAY’S QUOTE

Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing;" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.

Fulton J. Sheen

HAPPY MONDAY !!

I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to go back to work today. Whether your work takes you away from home or it is at home we all have some kind of work to do. Winter continues on in northern Ohio and snow flurries are still in our forecast.

The temps today are supposed to be hovering around the mid 30 degree mark so that very often causes so wintry mix that causes some slippery conditions to watch out for.

Sunday I did a little of this and that around the house, all things that needed done, so it was a good day. I talked to DD and to DS#1 on the phone and all is well with them. The week ahead looks pretty quiet. After work on Monday I get my taxes done and Thursday evening is Bible Study.

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

TODAY’S PRAYERS

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 !

25 WORDS

God, I thank You for today, for the ways You will bless me, and for the ways that I will serve others in Your name

TO REMEMBER…

I am in the hands of God, and in God’s time all things will be made well.

TODAY IS…GO BOWLING DAY

The Egyptians were rolling a ball to knock down targets more than 7,000 years old, but modern day bowling is a very American sport. The Dutch in New Amsterdam (New York) were bowling at ninepins in 1650. Their alley was a long plank only about a foot wide, so... lots of gutter balls.

TODAY’S WORD

irrupt \ih-RUHPT\, intransitive verb:

Irrupt is derived from the past participle of Latin irrumpere, from ir-, in-, "in" + rumpere, to break

TODAY’S REFLECTION

I will give you living water.

John 4:10

The story of the woman at the well is a beautiful story that is full of meaning and depth. Jesus is compared to a spring of water constantly bubbling, refreshing and revitalizing. The Samaritan woman is drawn towards Jesus. She comes to see God's plan for her. She realizes that it is Jesus who fulfills her deepest spiritual longings. She represents the confused person, young or old looking for meaning in life and wondering where to find it. She is the lonely person, young, middle aged, old who is looking for love and who has looked for it in the wrong places. She reminds us how God's love reaches deeply into us and is a wellspring for ever.

The promise of Jesus to us is, "I will give you living water."

TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC

Save the water used to rehydrate dried mushrooms; use it to flavor soup stock or gravy

24 DAYS UNTIL SPRING !

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart

Psalm 37:4

May there be a miracle in YOUR life today and may you have the EYES to SEE it!

I Love You All !!!

Be Blessed !!!
