ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

JUNE 5^TH, 2010

It's SATURDAY!

Friday brought plenty of rain in our area and even a tornado warning. I went to the club house here at the campground during that time. There were actu

ally two of them but the first one was already east of us when they issued

the warning. The storm looked pretty bad coming across the hills. Lots of lightning. I know from previous experience that when lots of lightning is around there can be a tornado.

But there were lots of periods of sunshine too. If it hadn't been for that I probably would have left for home. I don't mind camping by myself but I don't like bad weather. We'll see what today brings.

THINKING

I look for blessings and find them all around me. As I pa

use to notice the brilliant sunshine or, perhaps, the refreshing rain, I choose to be thankful, no matter the weather and to rejoice and give thanks for

blessings great and small

Let your faithful rejoice in your goo

PRAYERS

O Lord, thank you for making our burdens light and leading us gently.

Amen

Please pray for God's protection of

our troops and HIS wisdom for their

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, Firefighters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU!

AROUND HOME

Imagine your dreams as already fulfilled. Richly visualize in gre

at detail how each day of your life can be when you reach your most treasured dreams.

Here I am living the dream. For some years I dreamed of retirement and it's here in all it's glory! I still think it's too good to be true and you know what they say when you think that ...it probably is too good to be true. If that is so I do hope

no one wakes me up from this dream.

FAMILY

Today is Family Yahtzee Day. Play at least one game.

I'm not exactly sure how old the game of Yahtzee is but I do know it's been around providing hours of fun for a long long time. I remember playing the game long before I had children and before I was even married.

We played the game as a family too. Everyone taking turns to roll the dice and yelling YAHTZEE was something even the young ones could do.

Maybe that would be a good one to play at the camper sometime.

COUNTING THE DAYS

You can relax and enjoy your life, for God will strengthen,com

plete, perfect and make you what you ought to be and equip you with everything good that you may carry out His will; while He Himself works in you and accomplishes that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ

see Hebrews 13:21

16 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,
