ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

JULY 17TH, 2010

It's SATURDAY!

All is quiet here... and it will be hot too!

My weekend turned out to be much quieter than I thought as DD and her hubby stayed home. DSIL had to work overtime, so that is a good thing for them.

I managed to read a lot and worked on my crochet project of a year ago for awhile. It seems that the throw I'm making will never get done at the rate I'm going. But I'm not giving up.

My camping friends up the hill did take me to dinner with them to the Main Street Cafe in the little town near by. I had their famous dessert which was delicious.

THINKING

Be slow to judge others, but quick to judge yourself

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

I Corinthians 4:5

PRAYERS

Lord, you love all that you have made, and it is your very nature to love and forgive. Lead us to be generous in accepting and forgiving in the same way as you accept and forgive us

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, Firefighters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

AROUND HOME

I've learned . . . .

that just one person saying to me,

You've made my day! makes my day.

No one told me that I've made their day, but DS#6 sure made mine yesterday with a sweet picture of our little Lucky guy. I tried saving it to my pictures but somehow when I go to put it here in this newsletter I can't find it anywhere.

I'll figure it all out eventually and when I do, I'll be sharing.

FAMILY

It now costs more to amuse a child than it once did to educate his father.

The big news so far this week is that DS#2 sent an invitation to his retirement party next year. I can't believe for a moment that I have a son that can be retirement age, but you know he's taking an early one to be sure. He's done his share for our country and I'm proud of him too.

COUNTING THE DAYS

The surest way to have happiness and peace of mind is to give them to somebody else

68 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,
