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.

Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Tell A Story Day which celebrates story telling of all kinds. It doesn’t matter if it is fiction, a tall tale or folk lore. Today is a day to tell them all. Stories can be from a book, other written material, or from memory.
Telling stories is a special way to learn and expand your mind. Stories have the power to energize, educate and empower.
Today is also National Prime Rib Day and Arbor Day
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Tell me a fact and I’ll learn. Tell me a truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.
Indian Proverb
I love stories. Love reading them and love telling them. My favorites begin with, Once upon a time and always have a happy ending.
Story telling is also a way of learning from others and sharing memories. I think it’s important to share our life stories too. When my family gets together they will often tell stories of their childhood and I love to listen to them. Their side of the story is often very different than my side of the story and usually funnier than I remember.
It’s hard to believe that this is Friday. It’s been a busy week here and it was good one for me. The weekend ahead looks to be a quiet one for me. Nothing special going on but it’s sure to be a good one. Spring has finally arrived.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Our stories matter...Your stories matter…For you never know how much of a difference they make and to whom.
Caroline Joy Adams
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5924. for the old stories that warm my heart
5925. for Spring and all it’s glory
5926. for a sunny day which makes every thing look brighter
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
Happily ever after depends on where we choose to end the story.

So glad to hear that spring has finally arrived! I loved to hear the stories my mom would tell about her growing up days and young adulthood. We would walk to get groceries and she would use that time to tell stories. Our sunrise is around 5:45 a.m. these days, nice to see if so light out when we are getting up.

I love that Indian Proverb! I'm not much of a story teller, but hope I'm a good listener.
I like thour thoughts on telling our story. We all have one. And it is important to share our story. Not always easy to do, though.....
