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!
Hallmark
Today is the Indianapolis 500 which draws thousands of spectators each year to the speedway of Indianapolis to watch the five hundred mile, two hundred lap race which has become an American tradition.
Multi colored balloons are always released at the start of the race. It’s also become traction for the winner to kneel and kiss the Yard of Bricks to pay tribute to the history of the Speedway. It’s the combination of tradition and excitement that makes the Indy 500 one of the most popular single day sporting events in the world.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is a journey
Not a race.
Author Unknown
Even though life does seem like a race at times, it should be view as a journey we take. When we live in the fast lane, we miss out on a lot of what is truly important.
The pictures today are from yesterday’s party. A big THANK YOU to DD and her hubby for a great time. It was a lot of fun to see all the kids enjoying themselves.
It’s Sunday and my day to take time to relax, refresh and renew for the week ahead. We cannot go full speed constantly without feeling the effects catching up with us. So try to slow down a bit today and enjoy it. You’ll feel better for having done so.
This past week was busier than usual for me and I know I need the day to renew and refresh so I’ll be a better person when I start the new week ahead. It was all good, and lots of fun too, to be with DS#6 and his family and then the party yesterday, but now it’s back to normal here.
A Sunday well spent, means a week of content!
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Life is not a race, it is a gift. Enjoy it, don’t rush.through it.
Danielle Kessler
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7099. for a Sunday to rest
7100. for a great week
7101. for life in the slow lane
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
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
Life is the only race you’ll run where you don’t know where the finish line is.

They had the party indoors in case of rain, but it turned out sunny and warm. We got the rain this morning!
That's such a cute cake! Witnessing children's birthday parties -- and remembering our own -- feels really good, doesn't it? I hope you enjoy your restful day!
Thought for the day is a great reminder.....
I've lived in the same small town in northern Indiana all of my life and can NEVER remember which day the Indy 500 is held on. *haha* Sunday or Monday?! Thank you for the reminder, MA. I wonder if the race will still go on, as it's a very rainy day here in Indiana. I don't remember them ever cancelling unless it's a thunderstorm. Happy Memorial Day~ Andrea xoxo
Loved seeing the birthday party and the Birthday Boy! My grand quads will be 7 this Friday and I’m hoping to spend the day with them at the swimming pool. Their birthday will be Saturday so I’m going to have a really busy few days next week!
I like how you count down the days to the next season! I’m going to embrace summer as much as I can! All the time I’ll be looking forward to Fall! There are blessings in every season.....
Wishing you a good Sunday! We are about to get ready for church....
Oops I was off a day on my other comment. The party looked like fun! Glad it worked out that the weather was nice for it! Always fun to be able to celebrate moments like this and make memories!
