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.

May the dear Lord bless you both today and every day !
Today is also International Town Criers Day which honors the loud people who announced the news by using a bell and making proclamations to townspeople. In olden times few people were literate and there was little access to printed media. Town criers were responsible for keeping the populace up to date with the latest news and events. It was not always a safe position. Not everyone was happy about the news they received.
With the ease and access to printed and digital media the role of a Town Crier has become somewhat redundant.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
According to DDIL# 5, July 8th is an extra special date for them. It was the day they had their first date, the day they got engaged and the day they got married. They’ve been on vacation so I haven’t seen them, but I did put a card in the mail as usual filled with lots of love and best wishes.
After a long holiday weekend, it's back to life as usual today for most of us. The normal housekeeping things like laundry, cleaning and cooking will begin all over again. Seems like they only get done and it’s time to do them again. Same with the grass, it’s time to mow again.
Thankfully we’re to get some relief from the high humidity we’ve been having. It will feel good to get outside today. High humidity tends to wear me out faster than the heat. We’re just not used to it or the heat so it takes time for our bodies to adapt.
I try to remember too, that summer days are times to drink more water. It’s very easy to get dehydrated which can cause all sorts of problems.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7228. for DS#5 and his wife, it’s their anniversary
7229. for newspapers, and reporters, today’s town criers.

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!

Happy ☺ Anniversary!
The high humidity does me in too. And I am just getting older and more tired quicker. You have such an upbeat positive attitude. I have missed you!
