ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

JUNE 3rd, 2008

TODAY'S THOUGHT

Faith goes up the stairs that love has made and looks out the windows which hope has opened.

Charles H. Spurgeon

TODAY’S ACTION

When you pray, release your worry and rest in God

TODAY’S QUOTE

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says...I'll try again tomorrow.

HAPPY TUESDAY !!

Well I made it though another Monday and I’m thankful for that! Today and most of the week we have a chance of thunderstorms. It is warmer and it will be in the 70’s most of the week. We may even reach 80 by Friday.

Hopefully our new furnace/air conditioner at work will be installed on Thursday. It was getting pretty close to 80 degrees in my office yesterday.

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…OLD MAID DAY

The game of Old Maid is at least 100 years old, and has been played in most parts of the world. It's a game used to teach children how to match up numbers or images into pairs. You can use a standard deck of cards by removing one queen, leaving 51 cards with the Queen of Spades as the Old Maid. Deal out all of the cards, remove your pairs, draw from your neighbors hand - and continue making pairs until just one card is left. Whoever holds the last card is the Old Maid!

TODAY’S TRIVIA

Today is Repeat Day - Today, learn a new word by repeating it as much as possible while using it in different sentences

1800 - John Adams moved to Washington DC. He was the first President to live in what became the capital of the United States. It would be November before he would move into the People’s House, or the Executive Mansion, later known as the White House

1932 - Lou Gehrig connected for four consecutive home runs -- setting a major-league baseball record

1937 - Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson of Baltimore, MD, the woman who was the cause of King Edward VIII’s abdication of the British throne, was married this day to the former King (The Duke of Windsor). This was the storybook romance; the king in love with the commoner gives up his throne to spend the rest of his life with the woman he loves. They lived happily ever after ... in France.

1952 - Frank Sinatra recorded the classic Birth of the Blues for Columbia Records

TODAY’S SMILE

Apparently I tend to brag too much about my home state of Ohio. One day I told a long-suffering friend,"You know, the first man in powered flight was from Ohio. The first man to orbit the earth was from Ohio. And the first man on the moon was from Ohio." "Sounds like a lot of people are trying to get out of Ohio," he observed.

ONE MORE…

Brookpark, Ohio: Burglars recently broke in to an unoccupied house that was being renovated for sale. Among the items they stole were roofing shingles, a lawn mower, weed whackers, and lumber. They broke into a storage area under the deck and also a shed in the back. Before leaving, though, they mowed the lawn of the residence.

Neighbors report seeing strange men walking around the home, but they never called the police because they figured the men were hired to do the lawn. The owners are quoted as saying they will leave a pressure washer and painting equipment for the thieves next week as they did a better job than the lawn care company they had hired, and they were cheaper also

TODAY’S WORD

countermand \KOWN-tuhr-mand; kown-tuhr-MAND\, transitive verb:

1. To revoke (a former command); to cancel or rescind by giving an order contrary to one previously given.

2. To recall or order back by a contrary order.

noun: 1. A contrary order.

2. Revocation of a former order or command

Countermand derives from Old French contremander, from contre-, "counter" (from Latin contra) + mander, "to command" (from Latin mandare).

TODAY’S REFLECTION

The whole law is summed up in a single commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

Galatians 5:14

In the spiritual life, living within the circle of love may require unlearning much of what we think we know about God. Only as we let love guide our understanding of the rules can we receive the gift that we know but can never know fully, the good news that we hear and proclaim: "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son . . . . God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him" (John 3:16-17).
