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.

You can celebrate by paying happiness forward and share your happy memories.
Spread the joy of being happy and make others happy today !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
I think that I’m a very contented and happy person. I’m happy with what I have. Being anything but happy is a waste of time in my books. I don’t let others control my happiness. No one is going to rain on my parade.
I’m happy because I’m thankful for all I have. There’s not a day that goes by, but that I count my blessings and when you take the time to count your blessings you cannot help but be happy.
Happy thoughts push away any negative thoughts. There is always going to be tough times in our lives, no one is exempt, but no matter what there is always something to be thankful for.
Many of the happiest times of my life are spent with family. They are always my joy and inspiration and keep me me motived too. Today is no exception as I get to bake a birthday cake for a coming birthday celebration. I love to bake and thankfully I have many occasions to do so.
We had a lot of rain yesterday and today is to be a hazy and humid one but not as hot with temps right around 80 degrees. The picture below is of last years birthday cake.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
Victor Hugo
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6233. for a good friend who shared the recipe for the cake I’m baking
6234. for my family, they are the joy of my life
6235. for a cooler day to turn the oven on
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

Be happy! Don't worry!
That cake from last year looks yummy! It is better to be happy indeed. I tend to worry more than be happy, maybe I'll take today to start doing something about changing that around :)
