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 Work Like a Dog Day which honors and recognizes the hardest working among us. They dig in relentlessly and seldom take a break until the task is completed.
Those who work like a dog, work very hard while they are working, but they do not work all of the time like a workaholic does.
It’s a day to show appreciation for those who carry more than their load.
Today is also Forgiveness Day, Sisters Day and Friendship Day
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I can do what I love or I can love what I do. Learn to love the task in front of you.

I rest more than I work these days, especially on Sundays which I set aside as a day of rest and relaxation, but I did work hard for many years until I retired. I had a job to go to and family and a house to take care of too.
Most dogs I know don’t work very hard at all. They eat, play and rest and do it all over again every day. But there are dogs that work hard, like cattle dogs, police dogs, and service and assistance dogs. The dogs pictured at the top of this post belong to DD and her hubby.
Our temps for today are going up around 90 degrees and it will probably be the same tomorrow. Summer is letting us know it’s not finished with us yet. Thankfully it looks like the temps will return to our more normal 80’s after that.
I’ll be off to church and then back home again to rest. The week ahead will be a busy one, so taking a day off is important. They say a Sunday well spent brings a week of content.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Work is love made visible
Kahill Gibran
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6224. for hard workers everywhere
6225. for dogs of all kinds
6226. for Sunday, a day to rest for me
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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
A good rest is half the work.
Proverb
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

It is my day to refresh, renew and relax. Happy Sunday all !
There was a report on the news this morning about a police dog that got attacked by a pit bull and suffered some injuries. The other dog had to be shot since they couldn't stop it from attacking. That was a hard working police dog for sure. But i agree, most dogs seem to enjoy their rest. Enjoy your day of rest!

I hope I'm never judged by the work Macie and Grace do each day. (LOL)
In all seriousness, I'm amazed at the dedication and skill exhibited by police and military canines. And of course, the handicapped. What an honor it would be to work, helping train one!
