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 Fool’s Paradise Day which is a day off for the mind. It’s a time to close your eyes and dream yourself into another world. Paradise is thought to be a place where no pain, work, sorrows, annoyance or worries exist.
Fools Paradise Day is good occasion to visit this perfect place and forget about the troubles in real life. It’s called Fools Paradise because escaping from reality or letting go of ones troubles needs a little foolishness. However today it’s not foolish to close your eyes and create your own paradise that you can visit when ever you need a break.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
After a visit to the beach, it’s hard to believe that we live in a material world.
Pam Shaw
For me nothing says paradise quite like the beach. So when ever things get too hectic for me I like take an imaginary trip to the beach. It’s what I like to call a little bit of heaven. The beach is one of my favorite places to be and just watching the waves go in and out is very relaxing.
I don’t think its foolish at all to take a break, relax and think about something pleasant for a while. It’s good to give your mind a rest and take a break from your worries. Even small things can lift your mood, increase your energy and make you feel like you’re back in the drivers seat. If you can’t go on vacation, an imaginary trip will do.
It’s my day to cook for the weekend and I’m making it easy on myself. Today’s recipe is for a one pot dinner.
Simply Delicious Sausage Skillet
1 lb. Kielbasa
6 potatoes
1 tomato
1e bell pepper
1 onion
2 tbsp. Season Salt
4 tbsp. vegetable oil
Cut all vegetables to bite size pieces . Add oil to skillet and heat then add potatoes to skillet and cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes. Add all other vegetables and a generous sprinkling of season salt. Stir and cook another 5 minutes.
Push veggies to the side and place kielbasa slices on empty side. Cook stirring every now and then, for about 5 minutes. Sir contents together cook until potatoes are fully tender and serve.
Today’s pictures are of my beach room, the bathroom, here at my house
I hope you all have SUPER Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy or too impatient. One should just lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach-waiting for a gift from the sea.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7243. for the beach, a little bit of paradise
7244. for vacations, even if they are imaginary
7245. for easy summer meals
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

The beach is one of my favorite places...
That looks like a nice simple but delicious recipe! I like one pot meals like this. It is good to have an imaginary place like the beach to visit when we need some downtime. I think its healthy for our minds!

This reminds me! Back in early 70's I enrolled in a 3-day "Silva Mind Control" seminar. One exercise was to envision our perfect retreat … a paradise, if you will. Funny, don't ask me why. But I recall mine fortified like a bunker, situated in a forested region. I still like dreaming!
The beach is my happy place too. Yet here I am in land-locked Kansas! LOL!I need to plan a beach vacation. I love the wreath with the seashells. My house is decorated all for the beach!!
