ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

MAY 13TH,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's SUNDAY!  

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Everybody has a mother and absolutely no one is more special than mom. Sure, dad is really important. And, grandparent's too. But moms, well they are just the greatest. Often taken for granted, they are always our strongest supporter. You can't do wrong in Mom's eyes. When you are hurt, or not feeling well....there is no one else that can help you more than Mom. 

So go out and celebrate Mother's Day. First and foremost, spend time with her. If you absolutely can not be there, take time for a long phone call. Flowers, cards, candy and gifts are all part of the day. But, mom wants some time with you far more than anything else.

NEWS FROM HOME

The pictures today are old ones from when my children were small.  I should really take time to scan more of them into my computer.  These are the ones DDIL#1 sent to me.

Did you know that diaper spelled backwards spells out the word REPAID.  With each new grandchild, I'm thinking that each of my children will be repaid for what I went through as a parent...

They'll know what true unconditional love is.

They'll know how sweet a baby can smell

They'll know just how happy life can be when they see that little one smile

They'll know that life is very precious

They'll know sadness and tears, anger and frustration too, but they will know what a JOY it is to have a child.  And that is repayment enough.  Enough for a life time, because you never stop being a parent no matter how old your babies are.

My Mothers Day wish for all today is that you will be REPAID.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

The best gift a Mom can have is her children.

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

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!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

ALL ABOUT MOTHERS, PLAIN AND FANCY

Some mothers are chic...

Some are quite plain

Some look like they've been left out in the rain!

Some are quite brilliant ....Some not so smart

Some are all business...

....Some are ll heart

They're distributed evenly to all creeds and races 

and they can be found in the strangest of places

In an igloo, in a hut, 

a house made of stones;

in temperate climates

---and tropical zones

They'll be under the house fixing a pipe

or up in a tree when the peaches are ripe

Some are old ladies

some are still girls

But in one way or another all mothers are pearls!

With on the job training they lear as the go:

things about children - things that change as they grow!

And when finally they learn;

It's time to let go of those babes

it seems they're just getting to know!

Off to school

...to a job

...or even a war

A mother's heart aches when she opens that door!

But she gives them a kiss to take on their way

and reminds them a message will brighten her day.

Remember your home, and remember this poem

Remember your mother, where ever you roam.

If you don't have a Mom handy to hug:

Hug someone today!

COUNTING THE DAYS

While I know you want to find the right card, the perfect gift, do it the right way, get the flowers, don't forget that the real gift, whether perfect or imperfect, is the mother in your life.
