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 Lemonade Day. This sweet drink is one of the most popular beverages to enjoy in the summertime. There are many different variations of lemonade including raspberry lemonade, sparkling lemonade, frozen lemonade, ginger lemonade, and pink lemonade.
To celebrate Lemonade Day, wind down with a tall glass of refreshing, fresh squeezed lemonade.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade.
Joan Collins
This popular saying is basically advising us to make the best of the negative situations in life. If you end up with something sour like a lemon, try your best to find the sweetness in life.
I do make fresh lemonade often and not just in the summertime. It is refreshing and good for you too. If I want pink lemonade, I simply add some cranberry juice to the mix.
Today is the second of my weekend celebrations. I’ll be traveling with DS#6 and family to the first communion service for our little Lad. After church we’ll be having lunch together and of course some cake too !
I feel like I’ve been on the road this weekend more than not, but it’s all good when it comes to being with family. It would be nice if we all lived closer together, but like the saying goes, we take the bitter with the sweet.
I just try to do the best I can with what I have and enjoy every moment.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.
Clarence E. Hodges
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5951. for our little Lad, it’s his special day
5952. for lemons, good and good for you too
5953. for the sweet moments in life that help us endure the bitter ones
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Hope you had a nice time celebrating, Ma! I like to put lemon in my water sometimes to drink it. Refreshing!
betty
I love lemonade! But I often forget to make it
, I think I’m going to buy a big bag of lemons and enjoy a large pitcher of it! I do love lemons and use them in my tea.....I drink a whole pitcher of iced tea every day all by myself......no matter the season. Louis Dean only drinks iced tea in the summer!
These images look so refreshing! I love lemons, but have never tried making lemonade from scratch. We'll wait until this school term concludes, but driving over to Auburn and visiting Toomer's Drugs for their "world-famous lemonade" is high on my bucket list.
PS - Thanks for the tip about pink lemonade. My regular 'everyday' beverage is half-and-half water and Diet Cranberry juice.
