ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR THURSDAY, APRIL 15TH, 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.

Today is also National High Five Day which is all about celebrating the high five and giving high fives to everyone from a safe distance. We can send virtual high fives to far away friends and family. A group of students at the University of Virginia declared the first High Five Day in 2002.
Nobody knows who invented the high five. NBA player Derek Smith claimed that he created the high five while playing for the University of Louisville.basketball team in 1979. According to another story a man named Mont Sleets popularized the gesture. While Mont was growing up in Kentucky, his father’s old army friends would greet each other with arms straight up in the air and saying the name of their division, Five. As a young boy, it was difficult for Mont to remember all of the names of his father’s friends, so when he saw them he would just say Hi, Five! This childhood greeting stuck with him and he started to greet others with High Fives.
The trick for the perfect high five is to look at the person’s elbow as you are about to high five them. You’ll have a perfectly accurate high five every time.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY

We do a lot of high fives in our family as a way of saying congratulations and so today’s a high five to DS#2 on his birthday !
He lives out of state and it’s been awhile since I’ve seen him. I wanted to visit for Spring vacation but with the Covoid virus traveling became impossible, Hopefully now with getting the vaccinations I’ll be able to see him soon. Meanwhile today I’ll light my birthday candle and send him this virtual high five, along with lots of love and birthday wishes.
Good thing I was able to get out yesterday. Today is to be a much colder, wet and breezy day in the 40’s
I’m getting my Spring and Summer clothing out, but thankfully, that also includes some sweaters to layer up on cold days!
The say don’t give up hope, no winter lasts forever !
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!!

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
9089. for DS#2, it’s his birthday!
9090. for sweaters to layer up with and keep warm
9091. for a day to spend indoors and get the housework done
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
