If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's SATURDAY!
THE GREAT AMERICAN BACKYARD CAMPOUT DAY
If you think the best part of camping is sleeping under the stars, and the worst part is the lack of modern conveniences, then the ideal place to set up your tent may be right in your own backyard.
The Great American Backyard Campout is a day sponsored by the National Wildlife Federation, an is part of their Be Out There movement. It encourages children and their parents or caregivers to camp out outdoors and trade screen time for green time.

in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

AROUND HOME
The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness.
Henry David Thoreau
I love the campfires we've had . There is something very cozy about sitting by a fire. It warms you through and even in the summer it feels comforting to sit by a fire.
It looks like a quiet weekend at home for me. I think the sun is supposed to shine too.
I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday!
COUNTING THE DAYS
What can anyone give you that is greater than this precious little instant known as 'now'?

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