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 Universal Music Day which is a day to encourage and inspire people everywhere to claim or reclaim or rejoice in one’s ability to sing and make music.
Music is a big part of our cultures, communities and everyday existence. So it is only fitting to have a day to savor music in all its varied forms.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
Victor Hugo
I cannot remember a time when some sort of music wasn’t a part of my life. I like all kinds of music but usually choose country music to start the day off. I have a favorite radio station I listen to every morning. I like the combination of what radio hosts talk about and the music. I also get the news reports and weather predictions too. However that is not all I listen to. I have Pandora Radio available online and it provides a good selection to choose from.
Music is good for us. It can boost our moods and reduce stress. We all have different tastes when it comes to music, but I think it’s one thing most of us enjoy.
Another weekend has come and I think it was a good week for me, I got a lot done. The kitchen is once again clean and shiny. It looks to be another quiet one for me with little different going on. It’s really feeling like fall now with the cooler temps and I think they are here to stay. From here on out we’ll be lucky to see a 60 degree day.
I turned the furnace on as it got below 65 degrees in the house and took the chill off yesterday morning. I don’t keep the temp turned up very high until it gets below freezing here and then I have to keep the house at 72 degrees or higher to prevent the water pipes from freezing up. That won’t be for awhile yet, I hope. So far it’s been in the low 40s at night.
Holiday tip for today: Now is the time to make a quick check of household supplies.
Watch for sales on toilet paper, tissues, paper towels and soap and then buy when the price is right. It’s no fun to run out, especially when holiday guests come to stay. And while you are at it, make a quick check of the items your family will need during cough and cold season. Add any
items needed to your seasonal shopping list.
I’m going to put on a pot of potato soup today so I’ll have something good to warm up with over the weekend and maybe bake some banana bread too.
Having no musical pictures to share today, I’ve more pumpkin pictures for you.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Music washes away from the soul the dust of every day life
Berthold Auerbach
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6424. for music of all kinds, good entertainment and good for us too
6425. for warm flannel sheets
6426. for soup, comforting and warming
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's a wet rainy start to the day here, but it's to clear up later on. Happy Saturday!
Such cute pumpkin pictures! I do enjoy listening to music when I'm cleaning. Makes the work go by faster.

Amazing pumpkins. Potato soup and pumpkin bread. Mmmmmmmm. I'll be putting on a pot of beans today. Watching all my shows I recorded throughout the week and dressing all my characters for Halloween. 🎃
Like Betty, I enjoy cranking up something lively when I'm cleaning. Overall, my tastes run to (old, real) Country but I'm good with just about anything. (Well, except Rap or HipHop.)
I think Fall has finally made an appearance in Alabama. At least a cameo!
