Happy Birthday to DDIL #3 today.
May the dear Lord bless you today and always !
Celebrate your birthday today. Celebrate being Happy every day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is only traveled once; today's moment becomes tomorrow's memory. Enjoy every moment, good or bad, because the GIFT of LIFE is LIFE itself.
I doubt I’ll be seeing this DIL today as she just gave birth to our little Darling on the 12th. The very first picture was taken the day they came home from the hospital. She says she got the best birthday gift ever! Both the new mom and baby are doing fine. I hope to see them both soon.
This is the 4th August birthday and we still have a couple more to come. I told you August was a busy month here at my house. Today will join the ranks of one of the hottest days we’ve had this summer. Very close to 90 degrees. Another day I’m very grateful for the air conditioning.
I’ll be off to church as usual this morning and then home to prepare dinner. Thankfully it will be mostly done in the crockpot. Taking it slow and easy on these hot sultry summer days.
I hope you all have a RELAXING and restful Sunday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.
Voltaire
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3040. for DDIL#3, today is her birthday.
3041. for Sunday dinner
3042. for cool refreshing watermelon fruit salad on the menu today
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER REQUEST
Please join me in saying prayers for a friend whose grandmother passed away on Friday. May the dear Lord bless her and her family with comfort and strength as they mourn the loss of a very dear loved one. And may the soul of this treasured grandmother rest in peace, with her life's work well done, and may God’s perpetual light shine upon her.
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
Don't just count your years, make your years count.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Happy birthday to DDIL#3! She sure had indeed a wonderful birthday gift! Precious pictures of her and the baby and rest of family there! We too are having a warm day here, same in Phoenix, about 115 degrees there yesterday. Should be cooling off as the week begins.

Congratulations on the birth of your little Darling. I'm totally smitten by that wee dimple above her left elbow! :)
Thank you for asking for our prayers on the loss of your friend's g'ma. I hope everyone's 'voices' will bring her a measure of peace.
What a little doll! I came home from church, fixed some breakfast... and fell asleep for 2 1/2 hours! Got to 97 here today.
Happy Birthday to your DIL Pam. I love that tender last photo. How very sweet. I always love all your family photos. The watermelon salad sounds refreshing! xoxo
