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 Eat Outside Day which is the perfect opportunity to take your breakfast, lunch or dinner into the great outdoors and enjoy the last few days of warm summer weather. The last day of August is here and summer is almost over.
Eating outdoors has become more of special event, rather than a regular occurrence. Today is a day to change that. Celebrating today is easy. Find a picnic table, a park bench or and outdoor restaurant. You can also spread a blanket out on the lawn. Eat out side in the sunshine and fresh air. You’ll be glad that you did!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
Todays pictures are of this grandson’s birthday party last year and we did happen to eat outside at his house when we celebrated his birthday. His party this year won’t be until September 8th and I hope to have new pictures to share with you then. This is one party I get to attend ! Yay!
I think we used to do more outdoor eating in the summer before air conditioning became popular. But not everyone has air conditioning and I’ve seen many farm houses with a picnic table outside the door and under a shade tree. It is usually much cooler there than indoors for some.
It’s the end of another week and we have a long 3 day weekend ahead. Maybe there will be a picnic or two in your future. If not, take some time to spend outdoors. I know will for sure.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6302. for Mr. Wonderful, it’s his birthday today !
6303. for the great outdoors
6304. for a 3 day weekend
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
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. You may enjoy doing it so much that you want to do it again.
Ross Perot
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Happy birthday to Mr. Wonderful. Now that it us cooling down some, eating outside will be more pleasant. I do like picnics.

Eating outside at huge family gatherings used to be sooooo much fun, but that was a long time ago and it was in Maryland, which is a bit cooler than it is here in Georgia. Too hot and buggy here, so we rarely eat outside anymore. You could be right. Maybe we've become too acclimated to air conditioning...
Happy Birthday to your Mr. Wonderful! I'm not sure if this is normal, but the mosquito population down here pretty much keeps us indoors; at least until the first frost. I do recall some covered dish suppers on the church grounds at my grandma's in Minnesota. Funny, when I was a kid, stuff like bugs and hot temps didn't mean much.
