ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
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 All or Nothing Day. To participate in this special day, you must be all in. It is certainly as day of extremes. If you're a gambler, it's a day to go for broke. There's definitely no grey area in how you spend this day.
All or Nothing Day is a time to take risks and live on the edge. Be sure to make peace with your enemies, spend time with your loved ones, and do something you've always wanted to do.
Try something new, seek an adventure, and give this day all you’ve got. Seize the day; the rest of your life won’t wait forever.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.
Jackson Brown
I’ve always had the mindset that if I’m going to do something, I should give it my all. I do the best with what I’ve been given no matter what the situation might be. If it’s worth doing, then it it’s worth doing well. Nothing feels better than doing your best.
Sometimes just getting out of bed in the morning is the best I can do. But when we know we’ve done our best, we can be assured that it is enough.
Today we’re warming up again but only to the mid 80’s. The weather so far this week has been very comfortable. I know there will be more hot ahead as we go into August. We’ll miss them when they are gone so we just have to enjoy them the best we can.
Since it’s Ice Cream Month, today’s pictures are all about ice cream.
Life is what you make it!
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Franklin P. Jones
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5104. for things worth doing well
5105. for another beautiful day
5106. for coffee, good both hot and cold
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

Protect our military

with the shield of your strength,

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
To have a purpose that is worthwhile, and that is steadily being accomplished, that is one of the secrets of life that is worth living.

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

I like that coffee milkshake! I too try to always do my best in any given circumstance.
Betty
I agree! Thanks to what my late dad and mom taught, nothing feels better than knowing I've given my best.
That coffee milkshake sounds sooooo good! I love all things with a coffee flavoring. In fact, another of my blog friends recently recommended a spice by McCormick (Cowboy Rub) that has a coffee undertone.
