Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
July 14 is Pandemonium Day, an annual celebration of chaos and disorder. Pandemonium Day is a reminder of the chaos and uncertainty that marks most of our lives. It’s also a day to to find ways to take a pause from the daily grunt and find ways to bring order and equilibrium in our lives.
Don’t agonize, just organize!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Sometimes we let life guide us, and other times we take life by the horns. But one thing is for sure: no matter how organized we are, or how well we plan, we can always expect the unexpected.
Brandon Jenner
We all have plans, wishes and expectations of how people will act or how an event, our day and our lives will turn out. Unfortunately, things don't always work out as we hope. Too often, things seem to twist and turn in ways we did not expect or foresee. Regardless of the event, it's all how we think and react to it.
One way to reduce stress is to learn to expect the unexpected. Believing that people, situations and things are perfect is a recipe for failure. I’ve learned to go with the flow and to be very flexible.
I know that I certainly do not have control of my life, but I do know the One that does. It’s not up to me to take control of the universe. I can relax knowing God is in control and there is a reason and a purpose for what ever happens.
There has been nothing chaotic going around here at my house lately. The only pandemonium going on seems to the riot of colors going on with the beautiful summer flowers. Thankfully, I’ve been enjoying some lovely summer days. If it’s too hot I prop up my feet on the front porch. Staying cool and living life in the slow lane have taken over here.
I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Love doesnt give up just because someting goes wrong or because your feelings are hurt. God is in charge, so those who love just keep on loving.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
2943. for quiet summer days
2944. for a porch to keep cool on
2945. for life in the slow lane
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 Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Remember: God will never give you more than you can bare. It is in His hands, He will comfort you. Trust Him.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

I think living in the slow lane is great, Ma! Enjoy it :) So true that only God is in control; even if there is pandemonium going on around us, he can keep us feeling peaceful and calm if we just continue to trust in him.

A beautiful post !
I am all for living in the slow lane. I think that as I get older and older, I appreciate it all the more. I like to smell the roses and enjoy life. I am very grateful for my faith in God which is a calming anchor in every storm! xoxo
