ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR THURSDAY, AUGUST 15TH, 2019
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.

Today is the August full Moon of 2019 . The full moon for August is called the Sturgeon Full Moon because native Americans knew that the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most redidily caught during this full Moon.
Other names for this full moon include, Full Green Corn moon, signaling the corn was nearly ready for harvest, Wheat Cut Moon and Moon When all Things Ripen and the Blueberry Moon.
Hunters and fishermen often depend on the moon phases.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The moon is magic for the soul and light for the senses.

I’m not a hunter or a fisherman, but do love to see a full moon come our way. I’m always reminded of what a small world this is. We all see the same moon , no matter where we are and that makes me feel that we are closer together. So I’ll be looking at the moon and thinking of all you.
Today I’m hoping to get outside and get the yard work done. The grass hasn’t grown a whole lot this week, but needs cut due to the weeds and the little trees growing from the acorns left on the ground last fall. It won’t be long now before a new batch will be growing. The huge oak tree in my yard provides lots of them here.
It’s supposed to be another beautiful Summer day with temps in the low 80’s once again. Mowing the lawn is my way of soaking up some sunshine and also getting some needed exercise too.
I hope you all have a GREAT DAY! Happy Thursday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to.
Carl Sandburg
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7339. for a beautiful full moon
7340. for nice weather to do yard work
7341. for my mower that does a great job of mulching it all up.
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!

I'll think of you too when I see the moon tonight. 🌝
I did notice it was almost a full moon when I was out last night. I wonder who came up with all the moon names for the year of full moons.
betty
We have been watching the moon as it moves to full. How utterly beautiful.
