ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 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.

Today is Shaping Reminder Day which kicks off the unofficial countdown to Christmas. Whether you’re finishing up or just getting started, holiday shopping is a task that either stresses people our or excites them.
For those looking forward to shopping, the idea of find the perfect gift for someone they love tickles them with energy. However, others like the thrill of the hunt for deals. Still they love the energy of giving during the holidays
On the flip side those who dread holiday shopping, dread crowds and traffic . Budget constraints and commercialism drive them indoors.
Somewhere there must be a balance for all of us. We select the gifts with meaning and fulfill expectations while keeping those who need the most in mind during this holiday season.
If you have holiday shopping to complete, this day is here to remind you there are only so many days left. It’s less than a month now until Christmas.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations, compounded by December’s bad weather, it is good to be reminded that there are people in our lives who are worth this aggravation, and people to who we are worth the same.
Donald E. Westlake
I don’t do a lot of Christmas shopping anymore as I’ve taken to painting everyone something for Christmas but still it’s good to have this remeinder so that I get it all done. There is still work to be done in Santa’s worship here at my house. I had meant to be done by Thanksgiving but since it’s only a few days away, it looks like that isn’t going to happen.
With Thanksgiving, I’ve taken a few days off and now will I need to catch up. But for today, I’m off to get a hair cut and lunch with DD. There may also be some shopping involved, we’ll see…
It’s been a while since we’ve had the chance to spend time together so this is a treat. She’s off work this week for Thanksgiving and took some time to spend with me.
The pictures today are from last year when we went shopping together.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7630. for DD who’s taking me to lunch today
7631. for reminders, I need all I can get
7632. for the holidays, my favorite time of year
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!

Remember that some of the best gifts you can give don't cost a cent...your love, your kindness, your time.
That's nice, Ma, that you will be able to spend time with your daughter today for lunch and maybe shopping! I know you guys will enjoy your time together. I can't believe it is less than a month before Christmas! I'm not buying too much and I think I'm going to be lazy and do a lot through Amazon Prime and let them deliver the stuff for me. It is a benefit of it, so might has well take advantage of it.

Oooooh, that third photo is intriguing. The kind of street I, too, would love to visit. Times like this I wish I had someone (female) dear to shop with. Although from experience, it was always more about the camaraderie than actual shopping. I'm one of 'those' people who does her best serious shopping by herself.
I'd have to have my husband drive me, and I hate hate shopping with him.
So, Amazon Prime is there for me.
