ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

TODAY'S THOUGHT
And I'm proud to be an American,where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,who gave that right to me.
Lee Greenwood
JUST FOR TODAY
We all need to look for the silver linings in our day-to-day lives
Just for today: I will exercise my faith with the understanding that I am energized by the spirit of God--my wellspring of health and wholeness. Knowing my body to be a temple of God, I care for it as I would a sacred creation, for indeed it is.

IT’S FINALLY FRIDAY !!
AND
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DS#4
May the dear Lord bless you today and always.
The weekend is just a few hours away. When the clock on the wall says 4 pm I’ll be going out the door and driving to the campground for 3 wonderful days of rest.
DD and her hubby will be missing in action this weekend as they are on their way to visit with DS#4 and his family. I do pray that they will have a safe trip and enjoy their visit
DS#1 and his family will all be there as usual and DS#5 and his wife will be joining us at the campground along with their 3 dogs. DDIL#1’s sister and her family will also be staying in one of the camp cabins there this weekend. We should have quite a group around the campfire for sure.
Take good care all and enjoy the Memorial Day Weekend!
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

Memorial Day – May 25th, 2009
Ahhh, Memorial Day . . .
Just the sound of it conjures up wonderful images of summer, doesn't it? Memorial Day is a holiday anticipated each year nearly as much as any holiday Americans celebrate. It represents many things to us: the official kick-off of the summer vacation season; theme parks, pools, National Parks, etc. are open for the summer season; a three day week-end. And don't forget the family picnics, barbecues and the parades. By the way, did we mention the Indy 500? Fun, fun, fun!
While it's great to celebrate all these things, there's so much more to remember. This Memorial Day weekend, take a moment to reflect on the real meaning behind this holiday - the ultimate sacrifice of life made by so many of our military men and women. Without the selfless duty of these people, we would not be able to enjoy and even take for granted, the freedom we have today. We should not forget the equal sacrifices made by the families of these individuals. Their lives were also changed forever due to the circumstances put upon them. And they, too, gave their best for the generations that followed.
This Memorial Day weekend, please take a moment to give thanks for your freedom. Thank God for His gift of the many men and women of valor and courage who willingly gave all to grant us the privilege of being Americans today
Have a great weekend, everyone!
And please be careful out there
TODAY’S SMILE
THINGS CHILDREN SAY & DO:
A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer.
A child playing in front of his house saw him and called,
"What are you hauling?"
Fertilizer, the farmer replied.
What are you going to do with it? asked the child.
Put it on strawberries, answered the farmer.
You ought to live here, the child advised him.
We put sugar and cream on them
TODAY’S REFLECTION
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous
Psalm 112:4
God is never wrong. He has never rendered a wrong decision, experienced the wrong attitude, taken the wrong path, said the wrong thing, or acted the wrong way. He is never too late or too early, too loud or too soft, too fast or too slow. He has always been and always will be right. He is righteous
1 of 365 devotionals in Grace for the Moment, Volume II by Max Lucado
TODAY’S ADVICE
Strong chamomile tea, rubbed over your skin, is a natural bug repellent

Psalm 37:4

and may you have the EYES to SEE it!
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!

Hope you have a great weekend and the weather is great for you and your family. Will be thinking of you as it sounds great. Love Joan
I hope your daughter has a safe journey and that you have a lovely Memorial Day weekend. I loved Mr Rogers when I was a little girl. I used to love to go on the trolly into that magic land behind his wall with Prince Friday and all the other wonderful characters. It was pure magic to me. He was such a special man.
Love vanilla pudding. Hope your weekend is lovely.
Blessings,
Julie
