ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
TUESDAY,FEBRUARY 8TH, 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.

Today is Boy Scout Day which is the perfect opportunity to do a good turn. The date goes ack to the founding of the Scouts in American by William Dickson Boyce in 1910. In Great Britain, Lord Baden-Powell is the so called father of Boy Scouts. There are scout organizations all over the world.
On Boy Scout Day Scouts celebrate themselves. They go to church together on Scout Sunday and have breakfast. Scout Sunday is the Sunday next to Boy Scout Day.
Scouts learn a lot about nature, sports, animals and have the claim to always be helpful and friendly. They do sports together and have a wonderful confraternity.
To celebrate today honor Scouts that you know and thank them for their help.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
Be prepared…the meaning of the motto is that a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise.
Robert Baden-Powell
The only Scouts I have at the present time in my family is DS#6 and his son, but at one time all of my sons were Scouts. DDH was a Troop Leader and I was a Cub Scout Den Leader. I enjoyed all the years they were in Scouts and I think they all had a good time too. They loved being outdoors and participating in all the activities.
They attended Scout Camp and learned how to survive outdoors. They were always taught to be kind and helpful. Good traits to have.
My oldest son was the only one to reach the highest honor in Boy Scouts, he was an Eagle Scout. He said that it really helped him in getting a good job. It truly is one of the best organizations boys can belong too.
The Scout leaders go through a lot of training in order to lead a troup and these days that also includes a background check. We have to be careful to whom we trust to lead our children. They only teach the boys good things that will help them in life.
Today’s pictures are of DS#6 and his son at their Pinewood Derby, 2019.
We are to be close to 30 degrees today and partly cloudy, but On the Bright Side, it’s better than being in the deep freeze.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
In assisting his neighbor every day to the best of his ability, and keeping truth, honesty and kindness perpetually before him, the Boy Scout, with as litle formality as possible, is pleasing God.
Robert Baden-Powell
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

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 EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

The Boy Scouts is a great organization and very family oriented too.
None of my kids were ever in scouts, not sure why. I was a brownie when I was little but never moved up to girl scouts.
All your sons participating in Scouts must make your heart proud! I'm not aware of any Scout initiatives here, which is a shame. I think we need more young people who express an interest -- and more adults who care enough to volunteer their time.
Scouts can be such a good reach out.
The boy scouts have touched many a heart and put your men on the right path. Nice pictures of all your scouts.
