ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH, 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 Grandparents Day which is dedicatd to educating children about the valuable contribution seniors have made throughout history. The purpose of this day is to honor grandparents and sstrenghten the bond between grandparent and their grandchildren.
A woman named Marian McQuade established Grandparents Day in 1973. McQuade rated 15 children and had 43 grandchildren. This day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day. It’s a great opportunity to talk to your grandparents about your family tree or to look through old photo albums together.
Happy Grandparents Day to all the grandparents and grandchildren around the world!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes a grandmother.

. This is definitely a day I can celebrate as I am a grandparent of 21 grandchildren. The pictures today are from our family reunion in 2015. The last time my whole family was together. Unfortunately there are three missing in the pictures that couldn’t attend and one more that was yet to be born.Sadly I’ve never had them all together in one place at the same time.
I love them all so much. Each one is their own unique person just as my own children were each uiaue and special in their own way. Sadly only a few of them live close by and that I get to see regularly. I only have one son and my daughter that live close by. But some do come in to visit regularly. For the most part the ones that live in Ohio do come together for the holidays. However, since we had to limit the size of our gatherings last year, I’ve not seen some of them in over a year. Hopefully this Thanksgiving celebration will be a much larger one!
I was blessed to be able to care for 3 of them when their mom’s had to go back to work. Our Lucky Guy was the first, then came our Mr. Wonderful and last I took care of our Xfactor. I so enjoyed those days and glad I finally retired so I could spend more time being a grand’ma’.I’m only sorry I couldn’t have done that with all of them.
As school has begun I’ve been praying that all of them will have a safe and happy school year. My youngest grandchild just began school this year and I will have 3 graduating from college. My oldest grandchild is now done with school and is married and working in her chosen profession which is as a nurse. She deserves spacial appreciation for her work this year. Our nurses have become unsung heroes this year.
I hope they never forget they have a grand’ma’ who is loves them and prays for them every day.

I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS
What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And most importantly cookies.

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
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!
