Thought of the Day—Here’s a twist on a children’s song that is perfect for adults.  “If you’re happy and you know it, tell your face…If you’re happy and you know it, tell your face…If you’re happy and you know it, then your face should surely show it…If you’re happy and you know it, tell your face!”  Now, get out there and spread that happiness…and good luck getting that little jingle out of your head…

Thought of the Day—How would you like to do something fun today? Try presenting someone with an act of kindness, a genuine compliment or a word of encouragement.  It costs absolutely nothing but means everything to the recipient.  Go on, pick your intended target, pick up your arrow of thoughtfulness and bow of delivery, release the quiver and just let it fly; your kind gesture will hit the center of their heart every time…

Thought of the Day—Always strive to deposit the pleasant memories, those that bring a smile to your face as you ponder upon them, into a special place deep within the recesses of your mind so they can be easily withdrawn as needed…for those memories can help act as a salve to soothe the aching heart…

Thought of the Day—Have you ever had one of those days where you wished someone would give you a piece of their mind just because you needed all the help you could get?

Thought of the Day—Anymore, it seems like everyone is offended by everything and they ferociously defend their right to be offended.  With all of the offense and defense going on, it reminds me a little like football.  Maybe we need referees, rules and penalties for society…oh yeah, we do…they’re called attorneys, litigation and settlements…

Thought of the Day—Trying to please everyone, all the time is like attempting to walk up the down escalator…eventually, something has got to give…

Thought of the Day—Time—It’s a precious commodity so spend it wisely; for once it is spent, you can never buy it back.  Most of us think we have more time than we actually have.  We can never make time, but only take the time.  Therefore, watch out for those who want to steal your time away…and remember, the time invested knowing God, doing His will and loving others is never wasted time but time well spent with eternal dividends…

Thought of the Day—Seldom, if ever do we get to clearly see the big picture God has designed for our lives; we have to fully trust that He knows what is best for us.  You COULD argue that trust needs to be earned; but don’t you trust Him enough with the next inhalation of air in your lungs or your next heart beat? What will it take for you to start trusting God?

Thought of the Day—When was the last time you permitted yourself to be still, if only for a moment, to allow God to just hold you in His arms?  For such is the secret of the sunset, or the fallen tree in the woods, or the sandy beach on the shoreline, or perhaps even your back deck…anywhere can be the sanctuary you need to just be still and know that He Is God and you are loved…
