ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH, 2024

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.

Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals

41 Days Until Spring 

In Ohio

   Sun1rise:  7:32 am

   Sunset :   5:53 pm

Life is a special  

occasion!

Hallmark!

 

Today is Boy Scout Day which goes back to the founding  of Scouts in American by William Dickson Brice in 1910.  In Great Britain Lord Baden Powell is the so called father of the Boy Scouts.  Today there are Scout organizations all over the world. 

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

 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The most important object in Boy Scout training is to educate, not instruct.

Baden Powell de Aquino

I am proud to be the  grandmother of a Boy Scout, our Lucky guy is a Boy Scout is hoping to be an Eagle Scout one day.   DS#6 was active for many years in scouts, but now has taken a step back and is no longer a leader, but he does help out the troop when he can.  Family involvement is a big part of scouting.  I know of no other organization that teaches boys so many different things.  

Today I have to run a few errands and one of them is getting a copy of my birth certificate.  After I went through all my papers here I could only find a copy of mine, so I’m going to get a new one,

The weather remains quite warm , we are getting a taste of spring , but we are to be overcast today, no sun but still a good day to run around.  No rain predicted until Saturday. Aferwhich it wall be cooler once more.

I hope you all have a GREAT day!  Happy Thursday !

COUNTING MY GIFTS

The real way to gain happiness is o give it to others.

Lord Baden Powell

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

12,050. for the Boy Scouts a great organization 

12,051. for my grandson who is a scout.

12,052.For DS#6 who helps the troop when he can.

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!
