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!

Today is National High Five Day which is all about celebrating the high five and giving high fives. The high five is a celebratory slapping of hands atop raised arms. It’s been a standard for celebration of sporting victories, special events, competitions and many other activities for decades.
It’s a day to think about and appreciate the simple things in in life and just being alive. Five someone today, just because you can !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Savor life’s small victories...
I’m sending out a High Five to my youngest sister today. She is celebrating a milestone birthday. At some point soon, I hope to celebrate with her in person, but not sure if it will be today. The most recent picture I have of her is when we celebrated one of my aunt’s 90th birthday.
Every day is a day to celebrate and every day gives us big and small victories to celebrate. We may not think we accomplish great things, but even the smallest thing done with love is a great thing.
When it comes to our accomplishments we don’t celebrate them often enough. And sometimes it is the the small things that mean the most in life too.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday! High Five !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Give thanks to the moments you feel loved and love the moments on which you feel.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5900. for my youngest sister, it’s her birthday today
5901. for small victories to celebrate

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!
