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.

Happy Birthday to you♥
The month of August is Admit You’re Happy Month, Family Fun Month, Dog Days of Summer - July 3rd-August 11th, National Catfish Month, National Eye Exam Month, National Golf Month, Peach Month, Water Quality Month and National Picnic Month.
Today is also National Girlfriends Day which is a day to take a moment to step back and appreciate these lifelong friends. Girlfriends are the women you can always depend on. That’s why there is an entire day dedicated to these friends, sisters, mothers, and daughters. They are all an essential part of our lives.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The brilliant poppy flaunts her head
Amidst the ripening grain,
And adds her voice to sell the song
That August’s here again.
Helen Winslow
Today’s pictures are from our Precious One’s birthday party last year. This year’s party will be later on this month, but today is her birthday! So I’m sending out lots of love and wishing her a very happy day !
August is a busy month of family celebrations here at my house with a few more birthdays and an anniversary too. Lots of my family are having vacations and preparing for school to start. Some go back to school mid August while others don’t start until after Labor Day in September. Here at home, I’m thinking every day is a vacation day. I’m still enjoying some lazy days of summer but I really need to get busy.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
6212. for our little Precious One, it’s her birthday today

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
Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability

Birthdays are such a JOYous occasion. I never miss the chance to celebrate !
Happy Birthday 🎂 ☺
Your granddaughter looks like a beacon of joy. I hope she has a magical birthday.
Happy Birthday to your wee one! She looks like a little ray of sunshine with her flower head garland. What a cutie pie! I think she is very like you! It is my Birthday later this month also. I will be 63. Hard for me to believe! Our children here in the UK have only just begun their summer holidays about a week ago now. They won't be going back until September. I so hope that they have some good weather to enjoy in August! xoxo
Happy Birthday to your Precious One! She sure is precious! Kids go back to school here on Monday; seems like such a short summer!
betty
Happy Birthday blessings to your Precious One! (What, maybe 4 y/o?) It's nice to know some school still adhere to the 'day after Labor Day' start. That's what we as children enjoyed. I think our town's schools begin August 6 ...still far too warm.
Happy Girlfriend's Day to YOU, Pam!
