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.

Happy Birthday to you♥
Today is also Don’t Fry Friday which always celebrated the Friday before Memorial Day. At this time, sunshine is the most intense and people are seeking sunshine and the great outdoors after a long winter.
The purpose of today is to educate people and make them aware of the dangers of over exposure to UVA and UVB rays. The UV rays come from the sun and are the primary cause of skin cancer.
A little sunshine is good for you. It provides important vitamin D and sunshine brightens our mood. Remember the all things in moderation rule.
To have a safe and happy summer follow the motto for skin cancer prevention: Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap. This means slip on a shirt, slop on suntan lotions, slap on a hat and wrap on the sunglasses. UV rays can damage your eyes too. It’s also recommended that people stay out of sun during the midday of summer when these harmful UV rays are the most intense.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
You are my Sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away...
This grandson’s birthday was celebrated with a party this past Saturday and I was able to be there to join in the fun. We had thought it would be indoors due to predicted rain but for the most part we were able to be outdoors. That is what the pictures are of today.
The gifts had to be opened in the garage because we had a shower blow our way, but then the sun came back out in time for the birthday cake. His party theme was Mind Craft and the cake designed by his dad.
I probably won’t see our X factor today but will be seeing him tomorrow because we have another party to go to and his folks are giving me a ride.
I’m making deviled eggs for tomorrow’s party along with doing the much needed yard work today. Everything has not dried out due to the heavy rains we’ve had, but I have to mow the grass. It’s been growing like crazy. We have had 3 days now with sunshine and hopefully tomorrow will be sunny too. We’ll see….
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
We grow better in sunshine and in love.
Mother Teresa
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6008. for celebrations with family
6009. for sunshine to dry things up
6010. for a ride to tomorrows party
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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

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

I love that "Slip, Slop, Slap, and Wrap" message--copied it so I can share with some of our sisters! The birthday photos are great. Happy birthday to your grandson. I'm looking forward to the long weekend--which really makes for a short week because I'm usually off on Wednesdays! So this week I'll only be working Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday!!
What a cute cake :) Happy birthday to X Factor! The deviled eggs for your gathering tomorrow sound delicious, Ma! Maybe I'll have to make some for the upcoming holiday!

What a novel idea for X-Factor's birthday cake! Your daughter is beautiful!
There's little chance our skies will clear this weekend ... but I sure enjoyed your Slip-Slop-Slap-Wrap method of practicing safe sun. :)
We've had so much rain here of late, the animals are starting to line up in pairs. :)
BUT, in spite of the forecasters calling for all-day rain and thunderstorms yesterday, the sun shone most of the day... so my hubby and I were able to go to the botanical gardens for our anniversary, like we'd planned. The rain didn't come until after we got home from dinner out. I think Somebody was looking out for us.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Birthday!! 🎈🎂🎈
Happy Birthday to your dear Grandson. I don't know how you keep with all the Birthdays, but what a blessing they are. It means that you always have someone to love that loves you back! I have always been sun-shy! I don't like to sit or be in direct sunshine. Never have. I do wear sunscreen and am very careful. My mother taught us that and it is a lesson that has stuck! God bless you Pam! xoxo
