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.

Today is also Video Games Day which is a day to acknowledge the technological achievements of the video game industry and to appreciate the skills required to play them. Today’s games have advanced special effects and seemingly endless themes that appeal to all sorts of gamers.
Video games aren’t just for kids, in fact they have become very popular actives at parties for all ages. People can now play games on their computers, mobile phones, and hand held tablets.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Newlyweds become oldyweds, and oldyweds are the reasons that families work.

As usual a card was sent out in the mail to this son and DIL to wish them a very happy Anniversary. Their’s is the first of two July anniversaries in our family. We have no July birthdays to celebrate this month, but for two of my children, July was the month they choose to get married.
I may be one of the few people left that doesn’t play video games. Truth is I have so many other things that I like to do that I don’t have time for them. However, I know that many in my family enjoy them and have lots of fun. If I had a choice, I’d rather be playing games around the table with family a lot more. These days that is a rare thing indeed.
Today looks to be a beautiful day in our part of the world and as usual I’m off to church and then home again for a day of rest and relaxation. I wanted to make a chicken and rice casserole in the crockpot yesterday but it turned out that all I had in the freezer were breaded chicken fillets so that didn’t happen.
It’s an easy recipe to make and is quite tasty.
Crockpot Chicken and Rice
Makes 6 servings
3 chicken breasts, cubed
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup rice uncooked
salt and pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients together in crock pot. Cover and cook on low 4 to 5 hours. Stir well every hour or so. It’s done when your chicken and rice are done.
All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS

A Sunday well spent makes for a week of content!
Happy anniversary to DDS5 and wife! Wishing them a great day! I like that recipe. I too rarely use the oven during summer. Crock pots are wonderful for the summer to escape heating up the house. Kids played a lot of video games when young. Good to do on hot summer days.

I'm right there with you on no video games. (Probably on account I'm too uncoordinated, lol.) Thanks for publishing this recipe … I love using our crock pot in the summer.
Happy Anniversary to DS#5 and his sweet bride!
Happy Anniversary!
My boys spend their days and nights playing video games or watching videos of others playing video games on you tube.
I too have a few games I play on my tablet. 😀
Love the photos of your dear son and his family! They all look so happy and I can see a real resemblance between you and your son! He's very handsome! I used to love playing video games with my children. Mario Cart was a real favourite with us. I do play a few games on my iPad. Words with friends and Township. I enjoy them! Love and hugs to you. Your chicken recipe looks really tasty by the way! Bookmarking that one! xoxo
