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 World Environment Day which aims to raise awareness of the importance of respecting and doing our bit for the environment.
To celebrate this day get involved and find a way to make a difference and help preserve the earth and all it’s resources.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
What you do makes a difference. And you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
Jane Goodall
We can all do a little bit every day to help our environment. Small things like using recyclable bags for our groceries and using paper instead of plastic can make a big difference. Doing just a little bit to improve our own environment right where we live is a good place to start.
When you think about it our homes are big part of our environment. We spend the majority of our lives at home. Our homes and the choices we make at home influence our health and that of our family. I choose to make my environment a peaceful and restful place where everyone can feel welcome and at ease. I like to call it a stress free zone and there is a lot to be said for that. Stress causes a lot of problems in our lives and harms our bodies as well.
Lastly but not least in my thoughts for today and in honor of a dear grandson on what would have been his 13th birthday, I’d like to share this little poem. I’m sending out hugs today to DS#3 and his wife today. They remain in my thoughts and prayers always.
Love Lives On
Those we love are never really lost to us--
we feel them in so many special ways--
through friends they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love
are never really lost to us--
for everywhere their special love lives on.
Amanda Bradley
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference
Helen James
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6041. for our environment, it starts at home
6042. for home, my favorite place to be
6043. for bitter sweet memories
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
Each one of us can make a difference. Together we make change.

A special happy birthday... 💜
A very special day to remember indeed. That is a lovely poem. Hugs to you.
That was a lovely poem to send to DDS#3 and DDIL#3. I'm sure they are thinking of their precious boy on what would have been a milestone birthday.
It is good to be aware of how we can safe our resources we have in the environment. Every little bit helps with recycling, etc.
betty
((((hugs)))) So hard to comprehend, but you have honored and remembered him beautifully Pam. I like the idea of a stress free zone in one's home as well. I like to think of our home as a haven from the world. I love my little home. I know you love yours too! God bless! xoxo
