ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: For Sunday, June 26th, 2022

THE BRIGHT SIDE

Decide to be happy today, to live with what is yours – your family, your business, your job, your luck. If you can’t have what you like, maybe you can like what you have.

Just for today, be kind, cheerful, agreeable, responsive, caring, and understanding. Be your best, dress your best, talk softly, and look for the bright side of things. Praise people for what they do and do not criticize them for what they cannot do. If someone does something stupid, forgive and forget. After all, it’s just for one day.

Who knows, it might turn out to be a nice day.

THE BRIGHT SIDE

I'm looking out the window
and the day is drab and dreary,
And I'm trying to console myself
by thinking something cheery
I know it's simply horrible
to get in such a slump
And I also know it's up to me
to get across the hump
And I realize I'm selfish
to mention this to you
For, gee, you might be feeling
a little 'low-down' too
but often when I feel like this
I tell myself it's true
That I am not the only one
who feels 'low-down and blue'
And just knowing there are others
who feel the way I do
Renews my sinking spirit
and keeps me smiling through
and know that it's natural
to take a 'spirit-dive'
Provides the spunk and courage
to hang on and survive
And while there are a lot of moods
that we can drive away
by looking on the BRIGHT SIDE
in all we do and say,
There also is a loneliness
that God meant us to feel
But, gee, it sure is mighty hard
to know which one is real
And I'd hate to be a 'sad sack'
who never saw the sun
And just complained that every day
was such a dreary one.
But I know that all the dark days
are just part of God's plan
We should accept them graciously
and do the best we can...
So I'll just keep on trying
for I know it's 'Gospel true'
there never was a cloud so dark
the sun could not shine through!

On the Bright Side Newsletter

I send this little letter out each morning to all my family and friends and even to a few people that I've never met. Many of them send it on to others too. So in order to make it available to more people I post the 'brighter side' of the news here each day in this journal.

The letter began as an effort to keep in touch with my family as they are spread out in all directions. My family, friends and God are the most important things in my life.

You'll find quotes, poems and stories and even a few recipes included in this newsletter. I try to find something new each day to share.

In a world that very often publishes only the dark side of things I felt that others would be encouraged to hear about
'the bright side'.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

SUNDAY, JUNE 26TH, 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.

Life is a special occasion!

Today is National Chocolate Pudding Day which celebrates a dessert that can be traced back to the 17th century. During that time a pudding was actually a moist cake similar to modern day bread pudding or plum pudding.

The sweet and creamy concoction we know and love today, emerged in the 19th century when an English chemist named Alfred Bird developed an egg free custard powder. This remarkable invention made it very easy to produce a delicious pudding with the perfect consistency. Today, pudding is a popular dessert all over the world.

Celebrate today and make your own chocolate pudding for dessert tonight.

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The proof of the pudding is the eating.

Miquel de Cervantes

There is some pudding mix in the cupboard so I should be able to make some in honor of the day and celebrate.

We’re supposed to have a rainy day and cool off again. We should be in the 70’s again by Monday, but won’t stay that way too long. It’ll be warming up again. By Thursday we’ll be back in the 90’s. We’ve had some hot weather which was unusual for the the month of June, we can only wonder what July will bring.

I was able to go in my daughters pool yesterday and just float around and enjoy the sunny day. I can’t say I’ve done much other than rest since I got here. But next week looks to be a bit busy.

Monday I have a funeral to go to as my last living aunt on my mom’s side of the family passed away and Tuesday I have a doctor’s appointment with my Kidney specialist, so it’s best I continue with the flow and rest and relax today.

I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

People who love to eat are always the best people.

Julia Child

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

10,372. for pudding a tasty dessert

10,373. for a day to rest and refresh

10,374. for rain badly needed

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

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

There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

George Bernard Shaw

A little smile, a word of cheer,

A bit of love from someone dear…

Love,
