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 All is Ours Day which highlights all the wonderful things in the world. It’s a day to be aware of our surrounds and what exists in them. A lot of these things belong to everyone and they should be shared by all.
Not only do we share a wonderful world but we also share the responsibility for it. To celebrate today, we should appreciate everything we have and not dwell on what we don’t have. All we have is a blessing and our lives are a blessing.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.
Rachel Carson
I do try to be thankful for all I have every day and to appreciate the blessings in my life. Every day may not be a good one but there is something good to be found in every day. I call it looking on the bright side of life.
Every sun rise reminds me to be thankful for another new day and each sunset reminds me to be thankful for the blessings of the day. The pictures today are of a card I received long ago. It’s a keeper and know I’ve shown it before but it always reminds me that it’s a wonderful world.
This week I hope to finish up the last of my Spring cleaning. Our weather is warming up and I want to be able to get outdoors. We had an unbelievable 75 degrees yesterday, which was wonderful, but it’ll be in the 60’s today. Still that is so much better than the freezing cold. I can’t help but be happy that Spring has sprung.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!

Life is too wonderful for us to truly appreciate it.
Thornton Wilder
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6951. for a wonderful world
6952. for Spring in all it’s glory
6953. for life, each new day is a blessing
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
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 wonderful world!
That is such a cute card, Ma! I can see why it is a keeper. There is always something good about every day indeed. Thanks for the reminder. We seem to be hit with lots of repairs these days, so I am going to be grateful for the fact that we can get them done and that we have a house to live in and cars to drive :)

That’s a beautiful card! I can see why you treasure it!
It really is a beautiful world! I looked out the window this morning and saw the three horses galloping across the field. Love the sound their hooves make - reminds me of the Saturday morning TV shows when I was a very little girl! Roy Rogers and Gene Autry!
There’s always something to wonder at each and every day! Summer is inching closer! I’m loving the spring!
That's a delightful card! This reminds me of my mother reminding me, "All this, and it's ours, free-for-nothing!"
