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 Water a Flower Day which is a reminder to water your flowers. This time of year our flowers should be in full bloom so let's keep them hydrated. To keep our flowers alive we have to water them.
To celebrate take good care of your flowers today and give them a drink.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The flower that follows the sun does so even in cloudy days.
Robert Leighton
With all the rain we’ve been having I’d say that any outdoor flowers have had more than enough water around here. Now they need some sunshine. We have rain showers predicted again today too.
Many have had worse weather here in Ohio with tornadoes and flooding, so I’m thankful that all we’ve had is rain.
With Memorial Day came the unofficial beginning of summer so I decided it was time to make my Summer Bucket List.
Go to the beach
Attend the county fair
Buy fresh fruits and vegetables at the farmers market
Take more bike rides
Make S’mores
Eat Ice Cream for dinner
Spend time on the porch with a good book
Watch fireworks
Go to a baseball game
Eat watermelon
Watch the sunset
These are not big ideals, but ones I want to do . Summer is short and I’d like to make the most of it.
I’m going to try and get out today to pick up a few groceries, I don’t need much, but the bananas and the donuts are gone. Other than that I hope to get back to the craft project I was working on week before last and see if I can finish that up.
Quiet days here for me this week as usual. This time last week one of my granddaughters was providing plenty of entrainment for me by blowing bubbles, as you can see in the pictures today.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The earth laughs in flowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7111. for flowers, they always make me smile
7112. for a project to work on, keeps me out of trouble
7113. for our weathermen, keeping us up to date on the weather
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!

She blew some great bubbles! That's always a fun activity for the little ones!
Your summer bucket list is a great one, Ma! I hope you get to do all of that and more!
It has been an interesting season weather wise all across the country. Do stay safe as you can!

Tom and I were just discussing the state of our plants. Our part of the country is experiencing drought conditions, and I fear one of the gardenia bushes out front is deceased. I mist the begonia and allamanda every morning, and so far (knock wood) they're hanging in.
Your granddaughter and her bubble machine are precious!
