Life is a Special Occasion!

February 10th is Umbrella Day. We honor of one of the world's most invaluable inventions. On a rainy, day, we are sure glad that someone was smart enough to invent it. It's also increasingly popular to use umbrellas to shade ourselves from harmful UV rays, and the heat of the sun.
Umbrellas come in all sorts of sizes, colors, shapes, and, designs.The smallest umbrellas fit inside a purse or glove compartment. Golf umbrellas are popular sizes. Then, there are lawn and beach umbrellas. My personal favorites.
Celebrate Umbrella Day making sure your umbrella is handy. If you don't have an umbrella, maybe it time to get one.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Let a smile be your umbrella…
There’s certainly not been any use for umbrellas here lately, but Spring is coming and showers will be coming our way too. We’ll need those umbrellas then for sure. April Showers will bring May flowers. Now isn’t that a nice thought. We’ve been seeing some nights here below zero here again. I’m looking forward to umbrella days, especially the one that shades the patio.
Yes, it may rain on our parade, but let a smile be our umbrella. Here’s an easy way to brighten your outlook and your day.
Smile. Yep, that’s it. Smile. Not only does it bless those around you, it blesses you.
I like to think that we all live under God’s umbrella. We can smile every mile when we know we are under His umbrella. He shelters us from the storms of life. He smiles down at all of us with tenderness and love. He loves us, and cares about what is going on in our life. This morning is our little Cutie Patooties’ surgery. Please keep her in your prayers.
I hope you all have a marvelous Monday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for this past year and have now reached my 1000 gifts. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1394. for smiles that make all our days brighter
1395. for cold weather to appreciate the warm weather
1396. for umbrellas that offer protection
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 !
In the coldest February, as in every other month in every other year, the best thing to hold on to in this world is each other.

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