ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 4TH, 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 Easter which is an occasion to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. People participate in church services, festive meals and Easter egg hunts.
The Easter Bunny became a symbol for Easter in Germany during the 1600’s. Children would make nests for Easter Sunday and if they were well behaved the Easter Bunny would fill them with brightly colored eggs. German settlers brought this tradition to American in the 1700’s. Over the years the Easter nests evolved into decorated baskets and the Easter 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.
Enjoy this festive occasion with family and friends today, decorate eggs and indulge in some delicious Easter treats.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Here it has become a tradition to go to church on Easter Sunday and to take pictures afterward of the family members that were able to come and that is what my pictures are of today. We call the picture of the kids - Our Gang! We have several years of these and it’s fun to see how they’ve grown since we first started taking them. These were taken 2019.
Today will be much different than last year as I actually will be attending church and hopefully some of my family will be there too. Last year we were all locked down and the church was closed. Hope we never have to see bad times like that again.
We already had our family gathering so today will be a quiet one for me. I’ll be staying at home and probably spending time on the Sun Porch. It’s a good day for me just to rest and relax for the busy week ahead.Taking time out and just relaxing is important for all of us to do
Happy Easter !
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes all have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love which nothing can shake.
Basil Hume
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
9053. for a church that once again open
9054. for Jesus’ resurrection, Alleluia Chirst is risen!
9055. for a beautiful sunny day
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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.
