ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR FRIDAY, MARCH 6TH, 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.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
It is better in prayer to have a heart without words that words without a heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
I;m a big believer in prayer and consider it an honor and a privilege to pray with and for others. If you would like me to pray for a special intention of yours, just let me know and if you’d like for me to put your prayer request in this newsletter, let me know that too. I have friends that are great prayer warriors and would be glad to put your name on their prayer lists. Just let me know. I won’t publish your prayer request unless you give me permission to do wo.
Today I have a prayer request of my own to share. One of my friends is in the hospital and will be going to rehab for therapy soon, so Please join me in praying for her that she will soon recover and be able to be back in her own home soon. She has back issues that are causing her a lot of pain, all related to arthritis.and it is hoped the rehab therapy will help her.
Depending on the weather, I’m hoping to get out for a fresh Lake Erie Perch dinner today. I’m not sure if it will be for lunch or dinner, but it is one of my favorite things to eat. There is a restaurant close by that has them every Friday not just during Lent, so all I have to do is call and place the order then go and pick it up.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

I'm happy to lift your friend in my prayer consciousness, Pam. 'Seems like so many folks are having to live with chronic pain and consequently, feel discouraged. I hope her therapy will make a real difference.
I hope you enjoy that perch dinner!
