ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SUNDAY,JANUARY 9TH, 2022
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 Static Electricity Day which is a day to honor this unexpected, mostly unpleasant, and sometimes hair raising phenomenon.
Stactic electricity occurs due to an accumulation of positive charges on an objects surface.
It’s called static because the charge stays on the surface until it come into contact with another surface with a negative charge.
Static electricity can be created by rubbing an object against another. Some materials like wool and glass are much more likely to have static electricity. Dry skin and hair accumulate electric charges. This is why people tend to experience shocks when they touch door knobs or anything made of metal during the winter time.
To celebrate today, try not to get zapped and enjoy this shocking holiday!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Enthusiasm is the electricity of life. How do you get it? You act enthusiastic until you make it a habit.
Gordon Parks
When it gets very cold out and the furnace runs a lot my skin and the air inside tends to dry out and it’s easy to get zapped by the static electricity. I’ve even been zapped when outside when it is very cold and dry out.
They say we should be careful when getting gas and be sure to touch our car before filling up at the gas station. Here at my house I try to run a humidifier or my little diffuser that puts moisture and fragrance in the air. It smells really good with a few drops of essential oils in it and helps with static electricity too. I have one in the lving room and plan on putting my old one in the bedroom. I’ll have to check and see if its cord is long enough to reach the plug in on the wall. Or maybe put a kettle of water on the stove and let the steam roll out and put some moisture in the air.
They used to say not to wear leather soled shoes, but rubber to prevent it. But now a days we don’t see many real leather soled shoes on feet around here. The same can be said about wool socks, they will cause you to get shocks when walking around. I happen to wear them a lot in the winter time.
I’m staying in and keeping warm today. Once again I’ll do my church services online. I’ve got another quiet day ahead of me and will probably read another good book.
Dinner is all made and ready just to take out of the fridge ad heat up. More and more I’m staying comfy and safe at home. If I don’t need to go out, I stay in. Thankfully they are making it easy to do these days.
Remember, Don’t get zapped!
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
What is a soul? It’s like electricity - we don’t really know what it is, but it’s in a face that Lights up a room.
Ray Charles
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
9877. for ways to put some humidity in the air so I don’t get zapped.
9878. for a lazy day to relax and refresh for the coming week
9879. for another good book to read
.
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!

I will do my best not to get zapped today and hope you don't get zapped either! Enjoy your nice relaxing Sunday Ma. :)
I've not been 'zapped' in so long ... I truly forgot it exists! As kids, we always tried making it happen to one another, then would run away giggling.
