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 World Party Day which was created with the premise that humans have the right to joy and peace through social positivity and fun. You can celebrate this day partying in any way you like. A day long party is best, but a shorter event is fine too. Enjoy some laughs and just have fun. The motto for this holiday is: Party is the opposite of war.
Pass the food and turn up the music!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Someone said that life is a party. You join in after it’s started and leave before it’s finished.
Elsa Maxwell
I do love to party and most of the parties I attend are with family. Holidays and birthdays give me plenty of reason to celebrate, but when I think about it, every day is a reason to celebrate. Life is a party. Life isn’t always perfect, but it is what we make it. So, we may as well try and make it a party.
Today I’m celebrating the fact that my car has been repaired once again and that I had the money to pay for it. Easter Sunday I discovered I had a leak in the line to my power steering and if you have ever had to drive without power steering, you know that it is not easy, so on Monday I took it to the Service Center to be repaired. Just last week I had to have a flat tire repaired. My car is old, it’s a 2002 Ford Focus but has low mileage so I’ve keep hoping to get a few more good years of driving from it. We’ll see…
It’s to be much warmer here today…in the 60’s. The warmer temps will also bring some rain our way. It’s a one day only event, then we’ll be colder once again, but still in the 40’s which is better than the 30’s we had last week. The pictures today are more of our family Easter. It was a party to remember.
Remember: no matter the weather always bring your own sunshine !
Life is a party !
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Life is kind of like a party.
You invite a lot of people,
some leave early, some stay
all night, some laugh with
you, some laugh at you ,
and some show up really late. But
in the end, after the fun,
there a a few who stay to
help you clean up the mess.
And most of the time, they
aren’t even who made
the mess. Those people are
your true friends in life.
They are the only ones
who matter.
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5854. for family and friends to party with
5855. for each new day to celebrate
5856. for my old car, she’s still running
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

What great images!
... and I love likening one's true friends to those staying to help clean up the mess. That's a super analogy! Glad to hear your car was repaired in swift fashion. Mine's an '05 model with LOTS of miles, but I'd rather do what it takes to maintain her ANY day than to make car payments again.
What a blessig Pam! So pleased to read about your car and I love that pretty photo of you at the end! You certainly had a lot to celebrate on World party Day! xoxo
