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 National Vanilla Ice Cream Day which celebrates one of America’s favorite ice cream flavors. Chocolate may win the popularity contest, but vanilla is a close second. It is refreshing and more versatile.
Its easy to celebrate Vanilla Ice Cream Day on a hot summer day. Enjoy it in a cone, a dish, a float, or a shake. Just be sure to eat it quickly before it melts.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.
Jim Fiebig
There is most always some vanilla ice cream in my freezer. There is so much you can do with it. It’s a quick and easy dessert or snack. I try to keep ice cream cones on hand too, then I don’t even have to dirty a dish when I want some.
The month of July is Ice Cream month and today is just one of the many ice cream holidays we’ll be celebrating. It’s all good to me.
I hope you all had a good weekend. I did. It was another relaxing one for me. Now we have a new week ahead and it’s looking like a busy one for me. No day is ever boring here at my house.
I’ve decided on what I want to paint for Christmas gifts this year, so I’ll make a start on that too. Little by little it’ll all get done.
Right now the sunshine is peeping through the clouds, but they say we’ll have unsettled weather today with high humidity and chances of thunderstorms. It’s going to be a great day to stay in and get the house work done.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Life is better with ice cream!
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6185. for plenty to do, keeps me out of trouble
6186. for ice cream, a great summertime treat
6187. for loved ones to make gifts for, they are always my motivation
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!

Every day is a day to celebrate !
"Give thanks for this day".... oh, MA, I do that. I am so glad to be here, to be in fairly good health, to be able to go out and "do" for my animals and my friends and family. Your blog is always so inspiring!
Who can resist a vanilla ice cream cone! The local McDonald's offers one for 59 cents. I've yet to give into temptation this summer, but might have to treat myself to one before the end of summer since I don't usually eat ice cream when it starts getting cold out. Great that you have already picked what you'll be painting for Christmas gifts. It will be here before we know it!
betty
Only as an adult have I come to appreciate vanilla, and now it's my favorite! Now that I've finally had an opportunity to try gelato (meh …) before the month is over I'm going to invest in a carton of Blue Bell. Never tried that (brand) either.
Woo-HOO! Now that I know this is Vanilla Ice Cream Day, I feel totally vindicated to eat a dish of ice cream tonight. I can't have anyone call me a spoil sport!
