ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1ST,2020
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.

Welcome 2020! Happy New Year! Today is World Day of Peace which a day to pray for peace in our world, that the wars and conflicts that terrorize so many come to an end. .May swords turn into plowshares and war zones into fertile fields.
For peace in our communities, that we move beyond the arbitrary divisions and distinctions we use to separate outselves from one another into an era celebrating what we share.
For peace in our families , keep us safe from violence in our workspace and gift each person in our buildings the experience of knowing God’s peace in their lives.
For peace in our departments that we work together with a shared vision and commitment honor the gifts and contributions of each one.
For peace in ourselves that in this new year we free our hearts from the violence of comparison, self doubt, unrealistic expectations and feelings of unworthiness.
For those that would do violence to others, soften their hearts, still their minds that they choose the path of peach rather than that of force.
For Peace on Earth.
On this day we act as a global community to take steps toward a more peaceful world; through prayer and actions we work toward a more peaceful future.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A smile is the beginning of peace.
Mother Teresa
We can all make a difference every day toward world peace by doing small daly things like smiling and being kind. Every little thing adds up to be a big thing.
We need to learn to accept how there are other people around with other kinds of thoughts and beliefs and that it is okay. Peace is the greatest style of love in the world which includes tolerance, forgiveness and wisdom all in a society and people deal with all the situations.
Peace should be our goal in life, we try to find it, to make rules for it. Peace is just to be human living on the earth with no other difference trying to do the best for the whole world, not only ourselves until we reach our goal. Peace is to love others no matter how different they are from you.
Peace is loving others as you would love yourself. It’s not called the golden rule for nothing.
Today’s pictures are from our family Christmas and New Year celebration yesterday. It was a joyous celebration. Today the first of our group heads for home. We saw on the news that Ohio has had some snow. That will be hard to take, after all these beautiful days in Florida. I will be here another week, so my vacation isn’t over yet.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace;

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday! Happy New Year! Peace be with you!

Happy ☺ New Year! 🎆🌈🌹🎉
Let their be peace on earth, and let it begin with me! Even Fr. Maple's version of 'Imagine' (that I shared) focuses on peace; it isn't hard to do. Lifting my prayers for everyone who's travelling this busy time.
Precious family photo. 2020--hard to believe we are in the 2nd decade of the 2000 century. H.N.Y!
