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 Bubba Day which honors anyone named or called Bubba. To qualify to be honored today, your name can be formally or informally Bubba. You can even take the name Bubba just for the day. That way everyone can celebrate this day.
Bubba is used by close family and friends as a term of endearment and is often an affectionate nickname for a brother.
Happy National Bubba Day!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Nicknames stick to people and the most ridiculous are the most adhesive.
Thomas C. Halliburton
My youngest son is affectionally known as Bubba. His nieces and nephews even call him Uncle Bubba and I wonder if a few of them even know his real name. My dad said that in Hungarian Bubba meant beloved one. And this youngest son of mine is loved by all. He doesnt live close by so chances are I will not see him at all today but he is featured in today’s pictures.
It’s the start of another weekend and this one is going to be much quieter than the last few I’ve had. May was such a busy month with a party going on almost every weekend. Now we go back to more normal days.
Of course there are few days that can be considered normal, and everyone of them extraordinary, but calm and quiet spells normal for me. What normal means may be something entirely different to you.
On normal days life my life goes on as usual without interruptions or delays — smoothly and calmly. That is what I plan for today, but who knows…we can make all the plans we want, but life is full of surprises. Some very good and some not so good.
I just always try to remember that while some days are not so good, there is something good to be found in every day.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Whats’s in a name? That which we call a rose. By another name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6032. for Bubba, my youngest son
6033. for peace filled days
6034. for good things, they are always there when you look for them
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

Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,

they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters

I’ve always loved the word ‘Norma!’ I read somewhere that when a child asked her mother what normal was, she replied, “it’s a setting on the washing machine.” I love that! I used to ask my mother that question over and over again when I was a little girl!
Wishing you the blessings of a normal day!
Your son is so handsome and he looks so sweet! I am sure that he is! Hello to Bubba and all the other Bubbas out there! :-)
That is neat you have a Bubba in your family! It is nice to have some normal times after a lot of busy times to regroup and get a bit of rest :)
betty
That's cute how your youngest came to be known as Bubba!
I once owned an ill-tempered Llasa Apso named Bubba Charles … certainly not 'loved by all', but this made me smile.
