ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23RD,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 Unity Day which is the signature event of National Bullying Prevention Month which takes place in October in the United States.
To participate in Unity Day, individuals, schools, communities and businesses wear or display orange to show their support for students who have been bullied . One in five school age students have been bullied at school.
To celebrate wear orange and stand up against bullying.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind, the second is to be kind, and the third is to be kind.
Henry James
Be a kind person,. Yes even to jerks. Let them be a jerk. You be a kind
person.
Sadly bullying is not just for kids. Adults can be bullies too, we just call them different names. But remember, we can all do one act of kindness to create a better world, one kind act at a time to prevent bullying.
Bullies are sad and jealous people that want to make us feel bad. But just because someone is mean doesn’t mean we have to be mean.
And just because someone is different doesn’t make them wrong either. We all have the right to be our own unique person. Never let anyone change who and what you are. You are special !
I don’t have any pictures of bullies today, but I do have some of pumpkins which are orange and are all around these days. DD and her family took a trip to a pumpkin patch and that is where these were found.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.

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

Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military

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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Getting along well with other people is still the worlds’s most needed skill. With it…there is no limit to what a person can do. We need people, we need the cooperation of others. There is very little we can do alone.
Earl Nightingale
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

Accept others for who and what they are and don't be a bully, be kind instead.
I think you described bullies so well. Its sad they are so unhappy with themselves they have to pick on others. Great pictures of pumpkin choosing! We got ours on Sunday and before I went to get them (its been several years since we have carved some) I read on how to pick a pumpkin. To my surprise, I Learned there are several varieties of pumpkins. So I definitely learned something new this past Sunday.

Just recently a 14 yr old boy in this area died after two bullies beat and kicked him. He died a week later, the two boys have been charged with voluntary manslaughter. 21 years ago, this same happened 30 miles from here.
Too many stories of this are prevalent.
I'm so glad to hear real measures are being put in place to (hopefully) stop bullying. I never considered bullies having their own challenges … but that's NO excuse. GO ORANGE!
