ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

JUNE 23rd, 2010

It's WEDNESDAY!

OVER THE HUMP DAY

!

I often used to think I'd like living in the tropics but TROPICAL Ohio isn't very nice. We just aren't used to this kind of heat and

humidity at all.

I remember a trip to Florida along time ago. It

was in October which is a pretty nice month there. I didn't even get outside but the humidity hit me when I got off the plane and ent

ered the airport.

Today's weather reminds me of t

hat kind of humidity.

THINKING

Labels trap us, but God’s name for us sets us free. You are a child of God and that is a label that can never be taken aw

ay.

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Galatians 5:1

PRAYERS

Lord, we are conscious of the image that people give, whether it’s the clothes we wear, how we look, what we say, or who we choose to go with.

Sometimes the image doesn’t match

who

we really are.

Lead each of us to live sincerely as we ar

e called to be

AMEN

Please pray for God's protection of

our troops and HIS wisdom for the

ir

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, Firefighters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

AROUND HOME

It's a quiet day for me and I really won't be doing much. The laundry needs to be finished up and some dusting could be done. The air conditioning is thankfully working just fine so it's comfortable here. I'm so blessed to have it.

I do plan on going for a morning walk before it gets hot out. I promised myself I'd start getting more exercise when the weather got nice and so far I haven't done so.

I've decided I need to do some furniture rearranging here as where I have my computer desk is not where I can get very good reception for my internet. So I'll be working on that too. The kitchen seems to be the best place in the house right now and there is no room for a computer desk unless I move the pantry cupboard out. That sounds like a lot of work to me so I'm not sure exactly what I'll do.

FAMILY

I had a great time shopping with my sisters on Tuesday and some of my terrific buys are pictured here in this newsletter today. We also found a re-sale shop we wanted to look at but it was closed already so next week we hope to go there.

I got news that one of my cousins mother died on Sunday so I'll probably be going to the funeral home visitation tonight. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

COUNTING THE DAYS

92 DAYS UNTIL FALL!

Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.

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

Love,
