ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH, 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.

17 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Sunrise: 6:59 am

 Sunset: 7:53 

pm

Life is a special   

occasion!

Hallmark!

Today is Read a Book Day which encourages people to read: either for themselves or for elderly people or children to give them some quality time.  

Reading is not only fun, but it can improve your health by lowering your stress levels, stimulate the brain activity and improve your memory. So reading is fun and healthy.  

You don’t have to read a whole book in one day, Just read as much as you are comfortable with.

To celebrate today, simply enjoy a good book!

If you cannot see the bright side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

You can never get a cup of tea too large enough or a book long enough to suit me.

C.S. Lewis 

Celebrating this day is easy for me as I read every day, mostly for myself, but there was a lot of time I read books to children too.  My children and the grandchildren loved to be read to.

I mainly read on my Kindle now.  But I still have a lot of books around here.  Some are ones I read before and want to read again.  Some are cook books and books about painting, and I have books that have given to me for gifts too.  I even have a book case dedicated to nothing but Bibles. 

I have leftovers from the cookout to eat along with leftover pot roast too.  So I will just warm up dinner tonight and enjoy it while reading a book.  I like some company while eating and a book makes do when no one else is around.

After 2 days of mostly rain, today, we’ll have a little break they say.  Only a slight chance today.

I hope you all have  a TERRIFIC Tuesday !

COUNTING MY GIFTS 

Books area a uniquely portable magic.

Stephe King 

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

 

10,588.For lots of books to read 

10,589. for the library app on my kindle that lets me read for free.

10,590.  for book shelves to store things on.

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

The more that you read, the more things you will know.  The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

Dr. Seuss 

A little smile, a word of cheer, 

A bit of love from someone dear…

 

Love,

ma

 

 You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought

Matthew 5:5 (MSG)
