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 Toasted Marshmallow Day which is an opportunity to celebrate a bit S’mare Summer. With summer coming to a close, today is the perfect day to gather around a camp fire and toast up some marshmallows
Summer would not be the same with out a campfire and this great campfire treat.
Summer is short and summer is good so let’s enjoy it while it is still here. Toast a marshmallow and forget about every thing else.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
I do love sitting around a campfire and enjoy toasting marshmallows with others. And usually when we have marshmallows, the graham crackers and chocolate bars are included to make S’mores.
It’s hard to believe that Labor Day weekend will soon be here. Just a couple of days now and we’ll have a long weekend to celebrate the end of summer. Thankfully, I got to do everything on my summer bucket list and will soon be making one for fall.
The rain yesterday cooled things off for us and we’ll be in the 70’s today, but by the weekend we will see temps in the mid 80’s. Hopefully this the end of the 90 degree days for this year anyway. Todays pictures are of more of the grandchildren on their first day of school this week.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
For today and it’s 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.
6299. for campfires and marshmallows
6300. for schools and learning
6301. for a cooler day
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
You learn something everyday if you pay attention

Summer fades, fall begins. Nothing ever stays the same. Celebrate every day !
Happy ☺ Back to School. 📚🎒
That is a cool looking house! I'm assuming it belongs to one of your sons? Wishing all a great school year! I too can't believe it is Labor Day weekend ahead! Time is flying by!
I haven't had a marshmallow in a few years, but I do love s'mores. Might have to make them someday with some hot chocolate in the winter months coming all too soon.

That’s amazing! Did you post your summer bucket list earlier? I must have missed it! Bet it’s a good feeling to have checked it all off!
I keep meaning to make bucket list for the seasons but I forget! I hope you’ll share your fall one.....
Your grands are getting so big! I can’t believe my grand quads are in first grade and my first born grandchild is in high school!
Yes, you sure have some good-looking grands! The last slide makes me smile outloud … he's so full of vim n' vigor! Like Betty wrote, that house looks wonderful!
