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.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins.

My granddaughter, our little Precious One, is 3 years old today. I was blessed to attend her birthday party this past Friday. That is what the pictures are of today.
It was a busy but happy weekend filled with lots of fun, now today, I’m still trying to get back to normal, whatever that is. It’s the day I usually cut the grass and today won’t be any different. The grass just keeps on growing thanks to the regular doses of rain we’ve had. On the bright side, we have dried out enough to make it possible, and everything is staying nice and green.
I’m taking lots of pictures so I won’t forget how beautiful it is this time of year. I tend to get tired of the gray and white look of winter which seems to go on and on forever.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s National Raspberry Cream Pie Day!
Raspberries and cream pie is just the thing to round out your summer.
Chilled Raspberry Cream Pie
1 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 10 ounce package frozen raspberries
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 9 inch pie crust, baked and cooled
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream and almond extract until stiff peaks form.
In a saucepan, over medium heat, bring the sugar, gelatin and 1/2 cup water to a simmer and stir until the sugar and gelatin dissolve. Remove from the heat, add the berries and lemon juice and stir until the mixture begins to thicken.
Fold the whipped cream into the berry mixture and spread in the pie crust. Refrigerate until set, a few hours or overnight.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Little girls are precious gifts, wrapped in love serene.

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!

Happy Birthday to your Precious One! She sure is a cutie!! Good exercise for you getting out there cutting the grass, Ma. I always like the smell of a lawn that has been recently mowed :)
betty
What a beautiful child! ... Correct me if I'm wrong, but she sure seems to take after her daddy. :)
I've only a few who fit this criteria but yes, girlfriends are the best!
