ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

SATURDAY,JUNE 6TH, 2026

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 D Day which celebrates the day the Allied forces of America, Canada, Britain and France invaded five beaches in Normandy, France to defeat German forces during WWII.

This was the largest amphibious invasion in military history.  D Day marks the start of the campaign that would ultimately liberate Europe, defeat Germany and end the war.

Celebrate today and take a moment to thank all our military for all they do and have done to protect our freedoms.

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

THOUGHT  FOR TODAY

The eyes of the world are upon you.  The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you.

Dwight D.Eisenhower

My dad was in the Army on that fateful day and was severely wounded not long after arriving in France.  He was found and sent to a hospital in France, and from there eventually made it back to the United States where it took almost a full year before he was released.  He truly suffered from his wounds most of his life.  He didn’t talk much about the war, but he did receive a Purple Heart for his service.  I’m very proud of his bravery.  

Another weekend has arrived and here we are!  It was a good week over all and all is well on the home front.  We got several days of rain and the weekend looks to be dry but cloudy, however, the rain is supposed to return the beginning of next week.

 I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday! 

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Thank you to those men and women who put self aside because they held the thought of us on the inside.  So whether that be bloodied beaches on D Day or any number of other battles remembered or forgotten, we now hold you on the inside and we say, thank you.

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

14,371. for all our military and their protection

14,372. for a wonderful week 

  14,373.  for the sunshine peeping through the clouds

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!
