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 Friday the 13th which is a day you may look forward to with fear. Friday the 13th is an unlucky day when bad things can happen.
Throughout most of history, the number 13 has been seen as an unlucky number. Interesting, there is a sizable number of optimists who shrug off the superstion and go buy lottery ticket with the number 13 in it.
Like any other day, we are encouraged to celebrate the day and have fun with it. But don’t fear today. You don’t want to miss all the fun and excitement.
Have a happy Friday the 13th!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Superstition is foolish, childish, primitive and irrational - but how much does it cost you to knock on wood?
Judith Viorst
I’m not superstitions and have always thought of Fridays as good days. So today will be just like any other day for me. I did grow up hearing about how you shouldn’t walk under a ladder, or let a black cat cross your path as it was unlucky.
For years I had a black cat my house. She lived for 18 years and never brought any bad luck my way ! She started out being DD’s cat but when she left home, the cat stayed with me. She was a constant companion and I still miss her.
Our temps are rising and so is the humidity so we are headed for some hot days here for the weekend. I’ll be trying to keep as cool as possible. Strange that this is the first week I’ve not had to cut the grass. Maybe because we’ve had no rain this week, but it doesn’t not need it, so I get a break. Yay!
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS
TGIF! Thank goodness it’s Friday!
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6155. for Friday’s, always a great day for me
6156. for good memories of my black cat
6157. for a sunny week, first without rain in a long time
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!

Fridays are always a good day !
I was born on the thirteenth, so I've always thought of it as a lucky number. :)
Have a super weekend. Stay cool!
That is great you don't have to cut the grass! We got a lot of rain this week, our area got about 1.88 inches which was a Godsend! Hubby will have to cut our little patch of grass tomorrow, but he is grateful he won't then have to water it :)
Seems like a good weekend for you to stay inside and enjoy getting things done around the house :)

I'd don't know what sort of grass seed they use down here, but ours grows so fast, Tom jokes we're putting the lawn guy's kids through college. A riding mower's definitely a 'must' but I keep dragging my feet. Truth is, I'm chicken to drive one. LOL.
The number 13 has never really bothered me. Weren't there 13 in attendance at the Lord's supper?
I had not realized this was a Friday the 13th! When I'm in the country I lose track of the days and date sometimes. This would nver happen at home.
Wishing yoy a happy weekend!
Happy Friday the 13th!! 🐈
