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 Baby Day and as the name suggests it celebrates babies. And it gives us the opportunity to celebrate the miracle of birth and life.
Babies are special. Babies are not only cute, but they are innocent in ways that allow you to see
goodness on our planet. They provide us with hope and happiness, thus making us strive to become a better person.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Babies are always more trouble than you thought — and more wonderful.
Charles Osgood
Babies are such an amazing gift, and becoming a parent is one of the most rewarding experiences of one’s life. All my family is grown now, but they will always be my babies. Even the grandchildren are getting older. The youngest one will be 3 years old this year and the oldest one is 25.
Today’s pictures are of some of my grandchildren as babies, I loved being able to hold and cuddle with each and every one of them.
Today is to be the last of our extra warm days. We’re to be close to 80 degrees and oddly enough our area has been issued a Fire Watch. Even though my back yard still has puddles in it from the last rain storm we had, it’s extremely warm and windy so we have to be careful. Fires could develop and spread rapidly and outdoor burning is not recommended.
After today we’re to have rain Thursday and Friday then the temps are to drop back down to normal once again. By the weekend we’ll be in the 60’s.
I’m starting the spring cleaning today. Yes, the closets are finally sorted, or at least as much of them that I wanted to do for now. I’ve cleaned off the dining room table and put a fresh table cloth on. The corner cabinet and the hutch will be next. Along with the cleaning will also come some decorating for May. I’ve chosen a red white and blue theme and it will for the most part continue on through the summer months.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Children represent God’s most generous gift to us.
James Dobson
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5939. for my precious family
5940. for all life, new and amazing
5941. for hope and happiness
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
A baby will make love
stronger, day’s shorter,
nights longer, bankroll
smaller, home happier,
clothes shabbier, the past
forgotten, and the future worth
living for.

Is there any sweeter feel than cuddling a baby? ... and inhaling the aroma of brand-new skin? Such promise! I can't wait for my grand-girls to get married and make me a great!
Of course you know my only-child fascination with big families, so you wouldn't be surprised I'm over here trying to guess what baby is who? (*chuckle*) You could do a contest!
Happy Wednesday!
Such sweet pictures of you and your grandchildren when they were babes, Ma! Something very fun indeed with babies. They keep us young looking after them :) Good for you for getting your spring cleaning going and making progress with things. We have several wildfires here in the northern part of the state. Because our temps are a bit cooler than normal, they were predicting snow potentially could be falling where the fires are which would help putting them out, but they did mention on the news how cold it would be for the firefighters spending the night in tents.

There's nothing so sweet and precious as a baby. And as wonderful as our own children are, there's something even more magical about grandchildren. My DIL invited me into the delivery room with her and my son. Wow. It was an experience I'll never forget.
