ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SUNDAY, APRIL 3RD, 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.
Sunrise: 7;10 am
Life is a special occasion!
Hallmark
Today is World Party Day which is a synchronized global celebration that seeks to make the world a better place. The motto for this holiday, Party is the oposisite of war. The idea behind it is that we can create a better reality by taking positive action and celebrating life and promoting peace.
The first World Party Day took place April 3, 1998. The novel Flight by Vanna Bonta inspired the event. The story ends with a countdown to a mass celebration where all humanity is united. Readers took the idea and organized a real worldwide party.
To celebrate today, throw a virtual party or invite your friends and family to join you in planning a party soon.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Spring is nature’s way of saying, Let’s party!
Robin Williams
As far as I’m concerned every day is a celebration. I try to always find the joy in each new day. Life is a gift and I’n thankful each one. So I will celebrate today. Life is too short for any hatred or anger, we should enjoy each day.
This morning we have some snow on the ground but hopefully it will soon melt away. Spring is having a very tough time finding it’s way to Ohio this year. It’s like having an April Fools Day every day around here. We never know quite what the weather will be.
It’s to be another peacefilled day around here. There is nothing I have to do but to stay in and keep warm. We’re in the middle 40’s and after today we have nothing but April showers coming our way this week.
The next party our family will be having will be a combined graduation party and Easter which will be celebrated at DDIL #1’s house. Last year for Easter, we were celebrating a small group gathering at DS#5’s house and that is what the pictures are of today
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The more you praise and celebrate your life am the more there is in life to celebrate.
Oprah Winfrey
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
10,117. for parties which make me happy
10,118. for the gift of each new day
10,119. for a day to rest and refresh
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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are here because the party wouldn’t have been complete without you .

What a moving statement by Frederick Buechner!
It's been a long time since I attended a PARTY-party. Thinking I could always indulge in a party in my own head -- just Me, Myself and I. You're right -- every day's a gift.
I hope you're enjoy YOUR peace-filled day!
