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 Thrift Shop Day which is a day to honor stores that sell deeply discounted merchandise. It’s not always the highest quality but the price is right. Some might be known as discount department stores and dollar stores. Others are known as Goodwill and Salvation Army. There are also many 2nd hand stores that see gently used clothing and home furnishings.
Today is also Black Cat Appreciation Day and Baby Boomers Recognition Day
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
He who does not economize will have to agonize.
Confucious
As I’m a thrifty person, I do love shift stores. If you take the time to look around, there are always some real treasures to be found. Second hand stores are one of my favorite places to visit. Not too long ago I found the cute lamp in the picture above for under 15 dollars. Not bad when you consider the price of lamps these days.
The picture below is of a canister set that I got from one of my sisters as she knew I love roosters. We found it in a 2nd hand store and she said she’d buy for my birthday.
My house is filled with things from thrift stores and all the pictures I’m sharing today came from one. They do say that one person’s trash is another’s treasure !
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Love is the one treasure that multiples by division. It is the one gift that goes bigger the more you take from it. It is the one business in which it pays to be an absolute spendthrift. You can give it away, throw it away, empty your pockets, shake the basket, turn the glass upside down, and tomorrow you will have more than ever.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6260. for thrift stores, my favorite place to shop
6261. for lots of people in my life to love
6262. for pennies saved, they do add up
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!
One of the best $3.00 I ever spent
ADVICE FOR TODAY
A bargain ain’t a bargain less it’s something you need.

A bit of love from someone dear…

I love finding a bargain !
Those are cute canisters! I like looking at the Goodwill to find toys for the wee one and clothes and books for him too. Right now I'm working on his winter wardrobe, LOL, looking for long pants and shirts that we won't need until November or December, but I figure by then everyone else will be looking for them so I'm jumping in early in the game. I try to buy him at least 7 days worth of clothes for the new seasons and then supplement with what I find at bargain places.
I'm a baby boomer so I'll appreciate this day in honor of us!

I love finding a good deal in a thrift store. I don't go often enough. I have so much of my own junk I need to get rid of!
I'm a thrift shop/ flea market kinda gal, too. We've found some real treasures. (To us, anyway!)
Have a super weekend.
Those canisters are adorable; I can't imagine why someone didn't love them?
I love thrift stores, Oh, the possibilities! It's been too long ...
