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
Children make your life important.
Erma Bombeck
This is one of the rare birthdays that I got to celebrate in person. His party was this past Saturday and that is what the pictures are of today.
Today is also National Missing Children Day which promotes awareness and education to help guard against missing and exploited children. There's a whole lot of reasons why a child goes missing. And, none of them are good. Unfortunately, child abductions can happen to any child, any family. No one is immune to child predators. In 1983 President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25th. National Missing Children’s Day.
In between showers I hope to get out today to do a few errands and get some groceries. I’ll be taking my umbrella along just in case!
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s National Brown Bag It Day. The brown bag has been around for a long, long time. It seems like just
yesterday, everyone was brown bagging it, taking their lunch to work or school in a brown paper bag. My how times have changed. Nowadays, very few people brown bag it.
Packing your lunch can save a lot of money, over buying lunch on a daily basis and foods packed from home always taste better and are usually more healthy and nutritious too.
One of my favorite lunches when I worked and one that is easy to take along with you is a Cheese Plate. Simply slice up some Granny Smith apples, pack plastic baggies of crackers and nuts, and a smidge of jam or mustard. Then add some salami and cheese slices.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Children represent God's most generous gift to us.
James Dobson
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4921. for our little X Factor, it’s his birthday today
4922. for child safety, always be aware
4923. for healthy lunches, leftovers are good too
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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
The world is not always a kind place. That's something all children learn for themselves, whether we want them to or not, but it's something they really need our help to understand.
Fred Rogers
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
