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 Love A Tree Day which is the perfect day to celebrate all the wonderful things that trees contribute to the planet. It’s a day to show your love for trees. Take a walk in the woods or plant a tree . It’s important to take care of trees and appreciate their significance to our well being.
Trees give us shade, comfort and warmth. They give off oxygen too. So we have many good reasons to love a tree or two.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
Warren Buffett
I do love living where I do with trees all around me. They are beautiful to see anytime of year. I’ve lived here about a year now and have seen them in every season. My favorite has to be Spring. That is what the picture are of today.
After several days of rain here, it’s supposed to be a partly sunny day. I’d say we’ve had enough for awhile. Our temps are to be in the upper 60’s. The grass is definitely growing but I doubt any mowing can be done till tomorrow because it is so wet out there.
I need to get out today and do some shopping for the weekend because we have another birthday to celebrate and this is one I get to do in person.
I hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
I thank You God for this most amazing day
for leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky
for every thing which is natural which is infinite
which is yes.
e. e. cummings
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5981. for trees, they are all around me
5982. for shopping to do, it means a party is coming
5983. for a partly sunny day, we need to dry out
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
If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.

A bit of love from someone dear…

I am so grateful for the trees here at my place. It hurt me to take down the 100 year old walnut tree, but I was so afraid it was going to go over and cause damage.
I still can't get over the multitude of trees that surround our new home. Like a New York City tourist, I can stand for the longest time and stare upwards ... and marvel. (Living in the desert for 15 years will do that!)
Our old elm tree is dead at home. It’s right beside the gazebo. Louis Dean is going to hire someone to lob off all the top branches and leave the rest. It’s huge! The ivy and jasmine are already crawling up the trunk.
May really is the birthday month for your gang!
I have always loved trees Pam, and will even hug them! Yes, I AM a bonafide treehugger, but in a good way. we have a palm tree in our back garden that is about 20 feet tall now that started off as a small 4 inch tree we got in a plant arrangement. Its amazing! God bless and many thanks for all the sweet things you share! xoxo
