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 National Bookmobile Day. A bookmobile is a truck, van or trailer serving as a mobil library. Today we honor the nation’s bookmobiles for providing access to books, electronic equipment and information to communities as well the professionals that provide these services.
For over 100 years bookmobiles have provided library services to those who may not have access to one. Celebrate today and grab a new book to read.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I cannot live without books.
Thomas Jefferson
We do have a bookmobile that services our town and surrounding areas. I’ve never used it, as I’ve always had easy access to our local library. I have always loved to read and went to the library for years. Now I read books on my Kindle. Books are wonderful and open up worlds we’d never know about if we didn’t read.
They say that reading is a hobby, but I think for me it’s become a habit. Not a day goes by that I’m not reading a book.
Today we’re to be in the 50’s and unbelievably they say we’ll be the 60’s tomorrow and in the 70’s on Friday. I’m not going to hold my breath, but it would be very nice to feel warm once again. Of course there will also be the chance of rain. So probably no yard work yet.
Todays pictures are of some books given to me as a gift a few years ago and they came packed in a beautiful box too.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
A book is a gift you can open again and again.
Garrison Keillor
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5878. for libraries
5879. for books
5880. for my kindle
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
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
Charles William Eliot
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Books were my favorite gifts to receive as a child! Like you, these days what I read is contained on my e-reader.
Unfortunately, 5 years ago when my Life fell every which way but loose I lost much of my ability to focus. Picking up my love of reading is right up there on my short list of goals!
