ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28TH,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 Card Playing Day which is the perfect time to play one of the countless card games thet exist. If you need a break before the New Year fun begins, get your family and friends together for a quiet night in on Card playing Day
It’s a chance to wind down by engaging in a card game or three. It has always been the best bastion of entertainment in inclement wether and thus always popular favorite of the winter holidays. Playing cards is a great way to connect with your family.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is not a matter of holding good cards.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We used to play a game called penny poker when everyone was home for the holidays. It’s still a favorite, but sadly I have not been able to find it. It may be time to get a new one to have on hand when we get together.
It has a game board where you put a penny in the pot and if you get to play the cards that are labled on the pot, you win the pennies.
The sun is shining here this morning but there is a chance of rain, we’ll see what happens, but we’re hoping for a beach day tomorrow.. I’m ready to watch the sunset while sitting on the beach but if it clouds up we may not be able to do that.
DD and her family came in last night so now we are only missing 3 families who should be in sometime today. Then our group will be complete. The pictures today are from a few years ago on New Year’s Day.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7724. for safe travels, it’s a slow go but surely they are all coming in.
7725.for card games, there’s a large variety to choose from.
7726. for time to spend with family
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!

A bit of love from someone dear…

You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought

That penny poker game does sound like fun.
Crossing my fingers you will all get to enjoy the beach and a pretty sunset tomorrow!
I have to look for that penny poker game. Sounds like fun! Now that hubby is retired, we went out and bought some games to play. We had them all at one time, but then gave them away or sold them when we moved various times, so we went out and got Yahtzee, chess/checkers set, and Uno. We played Uno last time. Had a blast with it!
I do hope you get your beach day tomorrow, Ma, but thankfully you'll be there for a little bit more so maybe you'll have more than 1 beach days in your adventures! Glad to hear your DD and her family arrived safely!
