ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3RD, 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 Look at the Leaves day which is celebrated annually on October 3rd. As we get deeper into fall leaves are changing colors and starting to fall in many areas.
Leaves are beautiful this time of year making it fitting that today is Look at the Leaves Day. Leaves provide energy for trees and plants by converting sunlight into sugars and starches with a process called photosynthesis. During the spring and summer, leaves appear green As the days begin to get cooler and the sun is out less, trees start to store energy for the winter and the chlorophyll starts to break down. Energy begins to be stored inside of the trees instead of their leaves. Then the colors such as orange, yellow, brown,, red and purple appear.
Celebrate the day by going to an area with lots of trees and looking at the leaves. It’s also fun to rake the leaves in a pile and jump in them.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.
John Burroughs
This grand daughter’s birthday is another one of my long distance celebrations. A card will be going out in the mail to her with lots of love and birthday wishes. She does live in Ohio but too far away for me drive to visit anymore.
It’s the beginning of leaf peeping season in Ohio. The trees here in my yard, however hasn’t changed color much. It’s an oak tree and one of the last in the neighborhood to change color and it will be Thanksgiving before the tree is bare. There are other trees in the area that do have falling leaves and they are blowing around. Not only do I get the leaves from my tree but those of my neighbors too.
It’s Sunday and I think I’ll be streaming church services on line. It’s raining so I think I’ll stay in. I am thankful we have that choice to make. It’s an option we wouldn’t have had if it hadn’t been for the virus
.
It’ll be one of those afternoons that I’ll snuggle in and read a book. It’s going to be a quiet rainy day here.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through summer is not heard or seen, as if it could nt be, as if it had not been.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
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!
