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!

Today is the Indianapolis 500 which has become an American tradition. The Indy 500 draws thousands of spectators each year at its speedway in Indianapolis to watch the 500 mile, two hundred lap race.
It’s a day to tune in and find out who will win the race this year.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
If you’re always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you’re in?

Having spent a good deal of time traveling to different ones of my children’s events on interstate highways this month, I feel like I’ve been in a race myself. The weekend traffic is always heavy and always fast. Thankfully I didn’t have to do any of the driving. So I’m sending a big THANK YOU to those of my children that took me along for the ride. They are all good drivers and very appreciated.
After a busy week, today is definitely going to be a day to relax for me. Matter of fact the days ahead all look to be much quieter than they have been in awhile. The month of June is just around the corner and it too will bring some calmer days. Everyone will soon be out of school and many will be looking forward to vacations.
It’s looking like a staycation summer ahead for me. But then I have the perfect place to enjoy it. The pool will open the first week of June and I have plans to soak up some sunshine. That is what the pictures are of today, our pool. I’ll have pictures of graduation in the days ahead.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Life is not a race but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6014. for a day to relax and refresh
6015. for our interstate highways, they get you where you are going faster
6016. for a three day weekend, tomorrow is Memorial Day!
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
Life without goals is like a race without a finish line.

Its a nice looking pool and deck area and the advantage is you don't have anything to do to maintain it, you just get to enjoy it :) Our pool is finally getting warm enough to go into (about 84 degrees). I'm not much of a driver these days; I'm always glad that hubby is willing to do the driving :)
betty
Well you have the Rainey family UBER going I see! Sounds good to me! Your own private line! Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
It looks like you've the best seat on the freeway! :) We'd planned to watch the Indy 500, but just last week our provider (DISH Network) dropped ABC-TV ... Tom's NOT a happy camper, but we're between a rock and hard place.
Your pool facilities look really nice!
I thought og you yesterday as you were traveling. Yes, that pool looks so inviting!
We are going home Wedbesday, Louis Dean requested one more day to work and maybe get the roof on that itility room. When we get home I will be as busy as a bee. Doctor appointments, visiting the nursing homes, birthday celebrations for the quads, Amber and my mother, sewing projects, yard work, a dinner party, church......we will return to the country about the middle of the month and I'm pretty sure we will be ready by then for some quiet country time!!
Journies are so much more enjoyable when you have someone else to do the driving, especially if they are good drivers! STaycations are about all we can afford to do these days, but that's okay. We rather like being at home. Love and hugs! xoxo
