Life is a Special Occasion!

On June 2nd we celebrate National Bubba Day. This day honors anyone named or called Bubba. To qualify to be honored today, your name can be formally, or informally Bubba. You can even take on the name Bubba for just the day. That way everyone can celebrate this day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Nicknames stick to people, and the most ridiculous are the most adhesive.
Thomas C. Haliburton
This is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate as my youngest son is fondly nicknamed Bubba. And to celebrate, I had to add some pictures of him in this post.
This new week is rolling right along. Yesterday was a quiet one, today will be another one. Quiet times are great and I’m not complaining. With nothing much going on, I’m able to accomplish things that don’t usually get done such as cleaning out the shelf in the linen closet where the towels are stored.
Tonight we’ll be seeing the full moon of June, The Full Strawberry Moon. This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe. Because of the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries which comes each year during the month of June this full moon was christened for the strawberry!
With the end of the school year and the beginning of vacation time now at hand I thought I’d leave you all with a little prayer today.
O God of all beginnings and endings,
We praise and thank you for the gift of this school year.
It has been a time filled with grace and blessings,
With challenges and opportunities, joys and sorrows.
The days have passed quickly, O Lord.
The weeks, the months, the seasons, the holidays and holy days,
The exams, vacations, breaks, and assemblies,
All have come forth from your hand.
Give us the rest and refreshment we need this summer.
Let our efforts of this past year bear fruit.
Bring all of our plans to a joyful conclusion,
And bless us, according to your will,
With the fulfillment of our summer hopes and dreams.
Watch over us in the weeks of rest ahead,
And guide each day as you have done this past year.
May we continue to grow
In age, wisdom, knowledge and grace
All the days of our lives.
Amen.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart.
Henry Clay
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2817. for Bubba, my youngest son
2818. for summer vacations, a time to rest and relax
2819. for all my teacher friends and family
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 !

Cute pictures of your son and his family! I like this moon for June; I noticed it was pretty full last night; didn't realize it was completely full until tonight. Really lights up the sky here when it is full!
