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.

Happy Anniversary to DS#3 and his wife today!
May the dear Lord bless you both today and always!
Happy Anniversary !
Today is also Visit Your Relatives day which is a day to stop by and say hello to family members that you don’t get to see very often.
In today’s fast paced world, it is easy to lose touch with the people we care about. Sometimes we only get to see relatives around the holidays. If they live very far away we may not get to see them at all.
Families provide an unyielding support system that gets us through the hardest of times and they are always there to to celebrate and create memories during important life milestones. We need our family and they need us.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The family is where most of our joy comes from.
Aidan Quinn
There is no doubt about it, family is very important to me. Tomorrow I’ll be seeing quite a few of them as there is a birthday party to celebrate, but today’s anniversary for DS#3 and his wife is a long distance one and as always a card was sent out to wish them a Happy Day! It may be that they’ll will be at the party tomorrow. We’ll see...
Today I’m going to be spending some time getting ready for tomorrow. I’ve a gift to wrap and a fruit salad to make for tomorrow’s celebration. Otherwise it’ll be a day to finish up some much needed housework here. I did get to mow the yard yesterday, but had to go around some standing puddles that remain. It’s still very wet out there and the rain is to return once again tonight.
Our April showers have definitely continued on through May but on the bright side I’ve learned that no matter the weather, we must make our own sunshine !
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.
Desmond Tutu
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5987. for DS#3 and his wife, it’s their anniversary
5988. for family gatherings, they do mean a lot
5989. for a reason to celebrate every day
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!

Happy Anniversary! 🌹
Happy Anniversary to DD#3 and DDIL#3! Beautiful family they have! How fun with the birthday celebration this weekend, Ma! I know you will enjoy the time with family!

Enjoy the time with your family this weekend. (As if you needed to be told...) We don't get to see our sons and our families nearly as much as we'd like, because they live in different states. That just means we work extra hard to make the best of it when we do see them.
Have a super weekend!
Happy Anniversary to this handsome couple! Everyone's smiles make this viewer want to smile right back through the monitor.
Given the change of seasons, my son's Fridays are spent having to mow their land ... but I'm going to text him a 'rain check'! :)
It's not midnight yet so I didn't miss today's post on today!!
Yes, Family are gifts from God. And I am grateful for them!
A very Happy Anniversary to your son and his wife. What a busy day you had planned for yesterday. I hope that you have a lovely Birthday celebration this weekend. We will be celebrating with the Royal Wedding. Family is truly a gift from God. I am grateful or mine! God bless and take care! xoxo
