Daily Positive Thread for Tuesday

gloriajean — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 23:44:48 GMT

Greetings my friends! I am having a very Happy Birthday indeed! Pancakes for breakfast made by Linus - then we went to the noon Mass - followed by a restaurant where I got a free meal - ribs and mashed potatoes! Birthday wishes, and birthday calls, and Lori is picking me up in about an hour for pedicures!! I'll wear my sandals for the first time this season now. Linus is gone to work now for his 4 hours and then after 8 we'll have a salad. It's windy but not cold out! Another blessing - we had enough ribs to take home for another meal! At my new age of 74, I love life - I'm so happy I feel stronger now - really looking forward to my Mother/Daughter time again with pedicures! I think we may go to that place again where they give you free wine with your pedicure! May you all enjoy life - it's a God-given Gift! Lots of ups and downs, but God is always with us. He says "Be Not Afraid". It's mentioned 365 times in the BIBLE - once for every day of the year! Thanks all for the birthday wishes, and remember you all are in my prayers for your needs - God knows exactly what they are.

When you feel anger, allow yourself no more than 5 minutes because after

that, anger is self-indulging and turns quickly to hatred and rage. Lord,

You

are a forgiving God. Heal my hurts.

Scripture for the day:

"Jesus said to Thomas, 'Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed

are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.'" ~John 20:29

Meditation for the day:

It is not possible for us to fully understand the universe. The simple fact

is that we cannot even define space or time. They are both boundless, in

spite of all we can do to try to limit them. We can never know all things,

nor are we made to know them. Much of our lives must be taken on faith.

Prayer for the day:

I pray that my faith may be based on my own experience of the power of God

in my life. I pray that I may know this one thing above all else.

PSALM 23

Author Unknown

The Lord is my boss, and I shall not want.

He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.

He reminds me to pray, before I speak in anger.

He restores my sanity.

He guides my decisions that I might honor Him in all I do.

Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mail, system failures, copier

jams, back-ordered supplies, unrealistic deadlines, staff shortages,

budget cutbacks, red tape, downsizing, gossiping co-workers and

whining customers, I won't give up, for You are with me.

Your presence, peace and power will see me through.

You raise me up, even when the boss fails to promote me.

You claim me as your own, even when the company threatens to let me go.

Your loyalty and love are better than a bonus check.

Your retirement plan beats any 401K, and when it's all said and done,

I'll be working for you a whole lot longer!

Thanks be to God!

Prayer to Know Jesus Christ

O Lord Jesus, like Saint Paul, may I count everything as loss in comparison

with the supreme advantage of knowing you. I want to know you and what your

passion and resurrection can do. I also want to share in your sufferings in

the hope that if I resemble you in death I may somehow attain to the

resurrection from the dead. Give me grace to make every effort to supplement

faith with moral courage, knowledge with self-control, self-control with

patience, patience with piety, piety with brotherly affection, and brotherly

affection with love. May these virtues keep me both active and fruitful and

bring me to the deep knowledge of you, Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank You and have a heavenly day !

Spring is like a Resurrection.

When nature rises to perfection.

And suddenly the frozen earth,

Presents us with a glorious birth.

Each day, new miracles to see.

The seasons hold such mystery!

I do not question why or how.

But rather at God's feet, I'll bow.

I'll thank him for a second chance.

To stop and take another glance.

But this time, from a different view.

A slower pace, to see things new.

A fresh perspective...free from the past.

Treat each day, like it's your last.

The last day you could see a flower.

Or visit with a friend an hour.

Let God direct your life for you.

And tell you what you have to do.

Through His eyes, you soon will see...

A wealth of time, just standing free.

First take the time to spend with Him.

And then you'll see your life begin...

To not be clouded by tomorrow,

Or so much guilt or pain or sorrow.

Your heart will fill with joy and ease,

If God is who you seek to please.

He'll meet your needs and leave time still.

If we will simply do His Will!

Valerie Bauer Rousseau

~ GOD IS CRAZY ABOUT YOU ~

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.

If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every Spring,

and He sends you a sunrise every morning.

Whenever you want to talk, He listens.

He can live anywhere in the universe

yet

He chooses your heart.

Face it friend " HE " is crazy about you !

SMILE

It happens in a flash, but the memory lasts forever,

It cannot be begged, borrowed or stolen,

yet it is of no earthly good to anyone

until

it is given away.

So, if in your hurry you meet someone

who is too weary to smile,

leave one of yours,

for no one needs a smile quite

as much as he

who has none to give.

Mother Teresa Said...

Never let anything so fill you with pain or sorrow so as to make you forget

the joy of Christ Risen

Thanks much for the birthday wishes, phluphy, Harlene and Bobbbiesue! It was a great day! The pedicure last night was so good! So relaxing, and he worked, massaged my legs quite a while so that was so good for them! Toenails are a hot pink with a cute design on the toes. Then she took me to a yogurt place - and we had some very interesting yogurts! so much fun!!! Got a couple glasses for wine at the pedicure - my kind - cabernet! Praise God for such a nice day!

I asked Lori about her eye last night, it's still blurry when she closes her left eye, so still needs healing.
