ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, 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.

Life is a special 

occasion!  

Hallmark 

Today is Swap Ideas Day which encourages people to share ideas.  Ideas are often construed as mental images, for example, images of some object or ideas are taken to be concepts and do not necessarily appear as images.

Many consider ideas to be a fundamental otological category of being. The capacity to create and understand the defining feature of human beings. An idea arises in a reflexive, spontaineous manner without thinking or serious refection, for example when talk about the idea of a person or a place.

 

To celebrate today share an idea of yours with family and friends.

To see the bright side, polish the dull side

SORRY I COULD ONLY FIND THE ONE PICTURE IN MY ALBUM ARCHIVES TO SHARE

 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I love to talk with other people to get their ideas. They often have a different way of doing things than I do and sometimes their ideas sound better than mine.

The idea I’m sharing today came from one of my DIL’s.  We were talking about a candle holder my daughter has and my DIL said when she puts a new candle in a holder she always lines the bottom with a piece of parchment paper. That way when the candle melts she only has to peel the wax off the paper and not have to scrape it out of the holder.  I thought that was a clever idea. 

Today my daughter and I are going boutique shopping with my 2 DIL’s.  So it should be  a fun day! The weather is really nice again so we’ll enjoy it while it’s here. These stores are new to us  so it will be an adventure for all of us.  The pictures today are of things we saw shopping one time showing different ideas for fall decorating.

I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week!  Happy Monday! 

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

Eleanor Roosevelt 

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

12,662. for ideas from others 

12,663. for a fun girls day out 

12,664. for a week of milder weather

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

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
