ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SUNDAY, APRIL 17H, 2022
The moments of 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 Easter Day which is a Christian holiday which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. To celebrate, people go to church, have festive meals and Easter egg hunts.
The Easter Bunny became a symbol for the Easter holiday in Germany during the 1600’s. Children would make nests for Easter Sunday and if they were well behaved the Easter Bunny would fill them with brightly colored eggs. German settlers brought this tradition to the United States during the 1700’s. Over the years the Easter nests evolved into decorated baskets and the Easter Bunny’s morning deliveries expanded to include gifts, candy and chocolate. Today, Easter is one of the highest grossing candy holidays, second only to Halloween.
Celebrate this day with family and friends, decorate Easter eggs and enjoy some delicious treats!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There would be no Christmas if there was no Easter.
Gorden B. Hinckley
I’ll be off to church today to celebrate Easter. Some of my family will also be there. After church, later in the day, I’m invited to dinner at DS# 5’s house.
It’s become a tradition to get a picture of the kids all lined up by the church. We call it, Our gang ! It’s fun to see how they’ve grown throughout the years. We’ll be having our family gatheringing next weekend.
I saw a lot and learned a lot at our visit yesterday at the Natural History Museum. They had several live animal displays and told us all about them and their natural habitiat..It was very busy and lots of people were everywhere.
But it was a chilly day even though we had some sunshine and today promises to be even colder. I’ll have to wear my layers when going out to keep warm for sure..
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
10,162 For Easter Sunday!
10,163. for a dinner with DS#5 and family

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