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.

Today is also National Day of Prayer which calls on all people of different faiths in the United States to pray for the nation and its leaders.
In 1775 the Continental Congress allocated a time for prayer in forming a new nation. Over the years, there have been calls for a day of prayer, including President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. On April 17th, 1952 President Harry Truman signed a bill proclaiming the National Day of Prayer into law in the United States. President Reagan amended the law in 1988 designating the first Thursday of May each year as the National Day of Prayer.
Traditionally the President of the United States issues an official National Day of Prayer proclamation each year as well.
We need to pray not only for our nation but for our leaders too.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Holding the heart of another in the comforting hands of prayer is a priceless act of love.
Janet L Weaver
This granddaughter’s birthday is another long distance one but as always a card was sent out in the mail with love and happy birthday wishes. I do hope to get to see her this weekend so I’ll be abe to do some celebrating with her then.
They say that even when we cannot be with those we love, we can wrap them in our arms with prayer.
It seems that as I’m getting older there is not a whole lot I can do when it comes to helping others, but I can still pray and I do that a lot. There are times it seems I spend my whole day in prayer.
I do pray for our nation and it’s leaders every day, not just today. They have a really tough job to do and prayers can’t hurt.
Today I’m going to finish up the baking that I need to do for this weekend. I started yesterday but it is taking the better part of 2 days to get it done. I really do rest mare than I work.
At least with the rain we are expecting today, the house should be a little cooler when I turn the oven on. By evening yesterday I had to turn the air conditioner on for just short while to cool it down. We’ll see...
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Prayer is a gift we can all give away.
Rebecca Barlow Jordan
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5942. for our Angel, it’s her birthday today
5943. for prayer, it works
5944. for an air conditioner that works
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
More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

Happy Birthday to Angel! A beautiful young woman! Wishing her a great day! Always so important to pray and indeed to pray for our country and its leaders. I read somewhere that the last few years of Billy Graham's life he couldn't really do much but he did pray sometimes continually and constantly. Its something we all need to do and do as much as we can.

Happy Birthday, Angel! She looks stunning in that blue gown!
I truly believe prayer comforts the supplicant as well as the receiver. I appreciate how the pastor at our new church makes it a habit to include our nation's leaders in her prayers.
A beautiful granddaughter! Happy Birthday to her. I pray for our leaders as well. Sometimes my prayers are for this next couple of years to hurry and be over with. Hope that isn't wrong!
Happy Birthday and Happy Baking!! :)
