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 Build a Scarecrow Day which is a popular way to protect your garden. Birds and other animals often mistake scarecrows for people and so they will likely stay away from the area that a scarecrow watches over.
Scarecrows are relatively easy to make . All you need is some hay, a few articles of clothing, a stick and a hat. You can personalize your scarecrow by giving it pins, buttons and apparel from your favorite sports team , schools, or bands. This way, if you find that the intruders aren’t frightened by it, you’ll still have a festive decoration for your garden.
Today is also Macaroni Day , National Strawberry Sundae Day, and Chocolate Day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Cheerfulness, it would appear is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as the state of things without and around us.
Charlotte Bronte
While I don’t have a garden here at my house, I do have a scarecrow that I put outside for decoration. They are a fun and a cheerful addition. Most of us use them in fall decor, but mid summer is really when they are most useful. That is when our gardens are growing.
Now that the 4th of July is over, my inside decorations will be surely but slowly turning to sunflowers here I love their cheerful look too.
It’s hard to believe it’s Sunday already. The end of another week. Time for me to renew, refresh and rest. The week ahead looks to be another busy one for me. They say Monday and Tuesday will be a tad cooler with lower humidity so Monday will be my day to get outside and do some yard work.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
A cheerful heart is good medicine…
Proverbs 17:22
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7225. for scarecrows, useful and fun
7226. for cheerful sunflowers, they follow the sun
7227. for less humidity, a good time to get outside
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!
