ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
To succeed means that you may have to step out of line and march to the sound of your own drummer.
Keith Degreen
Seems we could all use a little encouragement to keep marching on these days. Just like yesterday and the day before that, I’ll be packing here at my house. There is now just about a week till the moving begins. Marching forth is not an option, but a necessity here at my house.
I have donated more of my household goods and still have more that needs to go. Once again DD and her hubby have very generously volunteered their time to haul it all away for me and there is more help coming on the weekend. I’ve heard from DS#3,#5 and #6 and they will be in to help too.
Life is definitely going to be much simpler for me than it has been without all the things I’ve accumulated through the years. After all how many kitchen utensils does one person need?
They say that tomorrow is to be warmer and in the 50’s and that will be nice after the colder and snowier days we’ve been having.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
Brian Tracy
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4711. for lots to donate
4712. for the strength to get this done
4713. for boxes and bins to put it all in
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.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I like marching forth on March 4th :) Hadn't heard that before :) Keep marching forth with your move, Ma, and soon you'll be settled into your new place. It is amazing how much we think we need until we need to part with it and then we realize we don't need it all.

I love pound cake. Somewhere I have a recipe for a really good pound cake! Good luck with the continued packing to move!!
I never realized how pound cake got its name!
DH and I will be 'marching forth' this evening to a family birthday observance ... when there's oh, SO much more we'd rather be doing. Who knows, there might be a pleasant surprise in store.
I think the older we get Pam, the more we realise just how much tat we lug around with us and collect through the years. As you know I have been striving this past year or two to simplify my belongings. Its a uphill battle for sure! I adore pound cake. I think it is my most favourite of all cakes! Happy days! xoxo
