ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

JUNE 19^TH, 2010

It's SATURDAY!

My little friend and I have been really enjoying spending some time together. I really didn't know how he'd like it here but he's a true camper. He likes to eat and he knows how to relax and be lazy too.

THINKING

When tragedy and hard times shatter our best plans , we are reminded that there is only one source of true security in a changing world. Our

security is in God alone.

Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God.

1 Timothy 6:17

NEW IN THE KITCHEN

My goodness we have been eating well. We had some delicious potatoes baked in foil for our dinner Friday evening.

We sliced some new potatoes with the skins on then put in a few slices of onion and green pepper along with some oregano and thyme from my herb garden. I sprayed the foil and the potatoes with some butter spray then wrapped them u

p and placed on a hot grill for about 20-25 minutes turning then over once or twice to assure both sides were done.

Using spray butter is something new to me but it really keeps the potatoes from sticking to the foil.

PRAYERS

Heavenly Father, thank you for giving us this moment. Please help us live in the present and to trust you more every day

Amen

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.

AND bless our Police Officers, Firefigh

ters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU!

AROUND HOME

In the picture showing the tree tops the branch of this tree toward the top middle you can see what looks like a dark blob. It is a turkey vulture who surprised us by a short visit yesterday. He was unhappy as a group of little birds were trying to chase him away so he didn't stay long at all. Sadly my camera wouldn't zoom in to get a picture of him.

I'd never seen one before but thanks to my handy bird book we were able to identify him. Truly I don't think I ever saw one before.

FAMILY

My camping buddies for the past couple of days have really enjoyed their time here. The weather has been beautiful and we even went swimming yesterday afternoon. The dog didn't swim but stayed comfy in the air conditioned camper while we were gone.

As Mrs. A has been a dear friend for over 30 years now she is like a part of the family for sure. It's hard to believe so many years have gone by.

COUNTING THE DAYS

2 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…

Love,
