Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
April 8th, All is Ours Day, is is bound to be a spectacular day for all of us. Think of the concept. Imagine the possibilities. What a great day this will be.
The meaning of this day is looked at in different ways. Today can be looked at as a time to reflect on all of the beauty of nature and all the wonderful things in life and that they belong to everyone. Become aware of all of the beauty in your surroundings. All of these spectacular gifts that we have been given are shared by all.
Another way to view National All Is Ours Day is to appreciate everything that we have and do not dwell on what we do not have. All that we have is a blessing and our lives are a blessing and it is ours, therefore, all is ours!
Some people also look at today as a day to share all that you have. The greatest times and the greatest things in life are those that are shared.
We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Joy is ours to discover each day.
This holiday today reminds us of the beauty of nature or great moments of our life, which makes us appreciate what we have already got and share our happiness with other people. Despite some down moments, it cannot be denied that each and every day of our life is an enjoyment of many beautiful things. They can be either big achievements like promotion and marriage or little things like a relaxing dinner or simply beautiful scenery.
Life is truly all about the choices we make and I choose to look for the beautiful and happy times. We have so much to be thankful for that for me to dwell on the bad and the ugly is a waste of time.
Spring is finally beginning to appear. The grass is green, birds are singing, trees have buds, and daffodils and crocuses are blooming. It’s the perfect time to praise God for a creation that not only sustains us, but is filled with beauty and wonder.
When we think of the entire world that surrounds us, we should appreciate what we have rather that what we do not. All is ours day . . . God’s blessings given to us to use and share.
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Then God looked over all He had made, and He saw that it was very good!
Genesis 1:31
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2652. for God’s Love – Evident in All He Has Made.
2653. for Trees, Shrubs, and Flowers – Plants
2654. Animals, Birds, Fish, and Bugs – Creatures
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

our troops and HIS wisdom for their

That is so true, Ma, about life being about the choices we make. We can choose goodness and kindness, even when going through tough times, and appreciate and be grateful for all that God has given us. I am glad to hear spring is "springing" and that you can see definite signs of it in your neighborhood!
