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!

Today is Kiss and Make Up Day which is a day to let go of resentment, grudges, anger and indignation. This unofficial holiday encourages people to make up and reconcile with anyone they are estranged with at work, school or in their family.
Conflict is one of the biggest truths in life. No matter how much we try, disagreements are a big part of our relationships with others. Most of the time arguments and misunderstandings can take an ugly turn, estranging and isolating people from each other.
Kiss and Make Up is an English language idiom that means to forgive someone and be friends again. It is a day to set aside differences and let people in our lives know that despite all quarrels and disagreements, they still mean a lot to us.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

It’s good we have a day like this to remind us that life’s too short to hold grudges against people we love. The older I get the more I realize there is very little worth getting upset over. It’s a waste of time to be angry and dwelling on past mistakes. It’s up to each of us to decide how we want to spend out time. For me life is too short to be anything but happy.
I’ve learned that it is impossible to please everyone. Everyone is not always going to like every thing we do, but the people that love us anyway are the ones that matter.
It’s the beginning of another weekend here and time to relax and enjoy life. I try to make the most of every day, but after working for many years, weekends remain the sweetest.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Happy are those who take life day by day, and complain very little, and are thankful for the little things in life.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6284. for my family, friends and faith
6285. for weekends to enjoy
6286. for smiles that warm my heart
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!
It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Never miss a chance to tell those you love, just how much they mean to you ! Life is short.
Kiss and Make Up Day. I love it! I wish that some people were more forgiving. I have always felt that it doesn't do a person any good to hold a grudge against anyone. Its bad for the soul. Thanks for all you share Pam. I have loved your family photos here today. Such joy and beautiful smiles! Love the quote from Wayne Dryer. I have always made it a point to pray for my enemies. It is hard not to love someone you are praying for! God bless and Happy Saturday! xoxo
Wow. What timing, your post! Tom and I had a silly squabble first thing this morning and I was all miffed, out of sorts hours later. Like my son is fond of saying, "A year from now, will this have made any difference?" You're right. Life is short.
Indeed life is too short to hold a grudge esoecially with people we love. Kiss and making up is a great thing to do and the sooner the better.
