ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

MAY 7^TH, 2010

It's FRIDAY!

My 2nd week of babysitting is coming to an end. I'll probably have at least 2 more. My house will have the pleasure of my company this weekend and then I'll return here for baby duty sometime Sunday evening.

I guess we'll have rain coming our way for Saturday then maybe some Sunshine for Mother's Day.

Due to the fact that I was away all week I didn't get cards in the mail for Mother's Day or for some birthdays coming up this week. So from the bottom of my heart I wish you all a very Happy Mother's Day weekend !

THINKING

I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Ju

st as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

John 13:34-35

This single command shapes the way we live our whole

lives, not jus

t our isolated choices, but every moment of every day. It is a command that determines how we treat each friend and family member, each enemy and stranger and even how we treat ourselves
