ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FOR THURSDAY,SEPTEMBER 26TH, 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.

Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is National Family Day which is celebrated annually on September 26h to celebrate our families.  We all know that quality time with our family is paramount to building stronger relationships.  When most people think of family they think of the people who are tied to them by marriage or blood, but the definition of family has evolved over time.  One of the best things about this occasion is that we can celebrate every one.

So gather your family whatever the means to you, your mom, your cousins or even your friends.  Spend some time with them and make sure to let them know just haw important they are to you.

Family can be defined many different ways. For many our friends are people who embody that spirit of the word family and are the ones that are there for us., know our stories, secrets and our good or bad traits.  

National Family Day is a day where you can celebrate your friends as family.

If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side .

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I sustain myself with the love of family.

Maya Angelou

I do have friends that are like family and I also have family that are friends.  I try every day to let you all know just how important you are by trying to keep in touch with this newsletter.  In case you don’t know it, you all are important to me and I love you !

Sometimes we get so busy we forget to keep in touch with each other, but it’s important to me.  When everyone still lived at home, it seemed like we were all so close, now not so much with time and distance separating all of us.

Today’s pictures are more of my family and what they’ve been doing.  The pictures above are of our Cutie Patootie who lost her first tooth this week and DS#5 and family who went to a Renaissance Festival this past weekend.  Thankfully every one shares lots of pictures of what’s going on.  We aren’t often all togather so it’s good for me to see what they are doing.  

We may not have it all together but together we have it all!

I hope you all have a GREAT day.  Happy Thursday!
