ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

27 DAYS UNTIL FALL
Sunrise: 6:49 am
Sunset: 8:10 pm
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
August 26th is Make Your Own Luck Day. Tell the truth: Are you feeling lucky today?
The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.
Wilson Mizner
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
Irish Blessing
I'd rather think of the good things that happen in my life as blessings rather than luck.
Many an opportunity is lost because a man is out looking for four-leaf clovers.

We all have opportunities that can be missed if we are too busy not to look for them.
Can you believe I won! What luck!
Boy, I just lucked out with that great deal!
I sure am lucky that I didn’t get the flu this year!
I got lucky and finally got a good picture of a butterfly!
I'm pretty sure that most of us have said something like this before. But really it wasn't just luck that did those things. Feeling lucky is all about feeling blessed. To me it is just another word to describe a blessing.
There is no such thing as a coincidence, everything in our life has been well planned ahead of time. A blessing is very different from the idea of luck. A blessing is defined as a favor or gift bestowed by God,
Luck is for people who don’t yet realize that God has a great and mighty plan for their lives.
The more I focus on the fullness of my life, the more grateful and satisfied I am. I am grateful that my basic needs have always been met. I am grateful for my relationships, my family and friends, who fill my life with laughter, inspiration, and companionship.
May your week be blessed with all things good! Happy Monday!
Never iron a four-leaf clover, because you don't want to press your luck.

COUNTING MY GIFTS
It’s when you count blessings — you see Who can be counted on
I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts. I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day.
890. for all the wonderful blessings in my life
891. for summer's last hurrah, we've had some wonderful days
892 for beautiful butterflies
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
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 !
What do you get when you cross poison ivy with a four-leaf clover? A rash of good luck.

27 days until fall... how I am longing for it now, MA.... we have been blessed with a spate of hot Indian summer days here, and the cool fall mornings are being thought about more often now.
Come on FALL!! I got some of my Fall décor out of the building today!! Just trying to patiently wait for the cool days.
We are truly BLESSED indeed!! Got nothing to do with luck!!
