ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 18TH, 2021
The moments 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 Absolutely Incredible Kid Day which reminds us that every kid out there is incredible. This holiday was created by Campfire USA as a day to show all kids that they are loved and cared for.
This special day is celebrated annually on the third Thursday in March. It includes a letter writing campaign, which encourages adults to write letters of support and love to the children in their lives.
Celebrate today by telling the children in your life how much you appreciate them and love the. Whether it’s your own child, grandchild, or family friend, use this holiday to let them know how incredible they are.
If you can’’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
Theodore Hesburgh
I send this newsletter out to all my children everyday and also to some of my grandchildren but not all of them. Each of my 7 children has a family of their own so I’m a grand’ma’ now to 21 of them. I love my family and I think each one of them is incredible. They are each unique and wonderful in their own way. No two are just alike, but they do all have some family similarities.
The pictures today are of the last family reunion we had which was at Christmas 2019 when we gathered as a family at DS#4’s house in Florida. All were present except for DS#3 and his family and a few of my other grandchildren . It is almost impossible to get everyone together in one place now due to time and distance.
I’m hoping that someday we can all be together once again, while I’m still around to see them, but meanwhile they are all with me every day as I carry them right in my heart. They are always in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m very blessed to have such a wonderful family.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.
Billy Graham
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

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

Almighty and eternal God,
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 ALL!

I love the photos and 21 grands - wow! I knew you had a lot but didn't realize it was that many. How blessed you are!
Yes! I love to think of all kids as incredible.
Tho' you can't always be together, I'm reminded of that so-thoughtful gift of your personalized blanket.
What a great memory and hopefully a repeat will happen this summer.
