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 Be an Angel Day which encourages us to do acts of kindness and to help others.
The objective of this day is to be like an angel and do something good or kind for others. It encourages to be God’s servant in doing good things for others. It is intended to some thing nice or kind for someone who is need of help. It can be physical, emotional or spiritual.
Be an Angel Day is for both the giver and the receiver. If you are the receiver make certain to openly express your appreciation. And recognize the angel in your life as being sent from God.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
We are one another’s angels.
Nevada Barr
I’m thankful for all the angels in my life, they are all heaven sent for sure. My family and friends have been like angels to me for all they do. They are there for me in the good times and the bad.
Sharing kindnesses and helping others is the way we are meant to live. We should be there, always, for each other. We should never get so busy that we haven’t time to be kind.
We have another chance of rain today, but it will not be as great as it was yesterday. Hopefully we’ll have more sunshine than rain. Every thing is still very green and growing here and soon I must get the yard work done. It really didn’t need done last week so I let it go, but this week it is a must.
It’s a blessing for us that we have plenty of water. We use for washing, for bathing, for drinking and even watering our plants and flowers. We have no restrictions on the water we use. All the rain goes into our rivers and out into Lake Erie which is where our fresh water supply comes from Water filtration systems take away any impurities and it’s piped right into our homes.
Today’s pictures are of some of my grandchildren as they started back to school. They are the first of many. These beautiful summer days will soon be a thing of the past so try to make the most of what we’ve got while we have it
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday! Be an angel.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
George Eliot
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6275. for angels all around us
6276. for a plentiful supply of water
6277. for summer while we have it
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
Be an angel to someone else whenever you can, as a way of thanking God for the help that another angel has given you.

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

There are angels all around us!
I am thinking that these are back to school pics of the grands Pam! Always an exciting time for sure! I love the idea of Be An Angel Day! We should always reach out to others and help where we can! We are the Saviours Hands, or at least we can be if we try! Thanks for all that you share! You are a ray of sunshine! Xoxo
"We should never get so busy we don't have time to be kind." Absolutely!
Before our move, I came close to forgetting that. But the folks I've encountered here -- just yesterday in Wal-Mart for example -- are almost all gems.
And while that's not regionally exclusive, I'm probably in a better position to notice and appreciate.
Thank you for being an angel; I always enjoy your comments, Pam.
Seemed like summer went by so fast! Already in the stores here the back to school items have been replaced by Halloween candy, etc. Soon Christmas stuff will be in the stores!
Always good to be an angel to help others and to be on the receiving end from when others help us. It does make the world a better place to live in.
betty
Happy Back to School 🎒📚🏫😃
