ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 12TH, 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.

HAPPY EASTER !
Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. To celebrate people attend church services, host festive meals and participate in Easter egg hunts.
The Easter Bunny became a symbol for the Easter holiday in Germany during the 1600’s Children would make nests for Easter Sunday and if they were all behaved the Easter Bunny would fill them with brightly colored Eggs. German settlers brought the tradition to America during the 1700’s . Over the years Easter nests evolved into decorated baskets,and the Tasty Bunny’s morning deliveries expanded to include gifts, candy and chocolate.
Today Easter is one of the highest grossing candy holidays, second only to Halloween. To celebrate decorate an Easter egg and indulge in some delicious treats.
Hoppy Easter !

If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
May the dear Lord bless you today and always!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Christ the Lord is risen today, sons of men and angels say. Raise your joys and triumphs high; sing , ye heavens and earth reply.
Charles Wesley
This granddaughter is nicknamed #1 because she was my very 1st grandchild ! And it was a blessing that I was able to greet and meet her on the day she was born, but sadly these days I don’t see her much at all. Her birthday is extra special as she was born on my mother’s birthday so it’s one I’ll never forget. Two special ladies born on the same day is something celebrate. I havent’ been out to get birthday cards at the store, but will be sending a card in the mail none the less, with lots of love and birthday wishes. I do have some all purpose cards on hand so they will have to suffice.
It’s a truly different Easter Sunday here but I will be watching our church service streaming on line. We usually do pictures afterwards and have started a tradition of taking a yearly picture we call OUR GANG. It’s the grandchildren standing outside the church every year. This year, DS#6 is going to try something different and see if he can get a picture of them all photoshopped together for Easter 2020. The one above is from last year, 2019. I’ll be sharing the new one when I get it. Should be interesting to see.
Our family will be gathering on line about 3:00 today. We're using G00OGLE HANGOUTS which allows for multiple people to gather for conversation. What an amazing world we live in. Fanily: We may not have it all together, but together we have it all. Thanks to DS#5’s idea of getting us together.on the internet. They are doing it for teacher and student chats so why not for families too.
I hope you have a RELAXING Sunday!!

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!

What a special day to celebrate with both Easter and birthdays!
Happy birthday to #1! Beautiful young lady! I look forward to seeing the picture your son comes up with! It's great we have the technology we do these days. Makes keeping in touch a lot easier! Happy Easter Ma!

Happy Easter to you and your granddaughter is a beauty. Interesting about the origins of the Easter bunny. Anxious to see the picture your son is going to create.
What a lovely young woman, your #1. That's so neat about you being able to meet her on the anniversary of your mother's birthday. Photoshopping your 'gang' is a great idea -- that's something I'd love to learn. Wishing you a very blessed day!
Easter and birthdays! My birthday has sometimes been on Easter but it is always near it.
AND I did have the sunrise service this morning, just my husband and myself. It is stormy here but the rain held off until our Easter service was finished.
Take care. God bless you. x
