FOR MONDAY, MAY 24TH, 2021
The moments 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.

Today is Victoria Day which is a Canadian holiday that commemorates the birth of Queen Victoria, and is observed on the second to last Monday of May. It’s the unofficial kickoff to summer in Canada
Traditionally cities may hold parades and fireworks displays. Today morks the unofficial end of the winter social season when the ski season winds down and parks , city tours, outdoor restaurants and more open back up.
The holiday is locally known in parts of Canada as May Two Four, which is a nod to the day as well as Canadian slang for a case of twenty four bears, which is popular over the long weekend.
Today, kick off the summer season and work in your garden or open up your backyard pool.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always bee the two most beautiful words in the English language.
Henry James
I’m so happy to see Winter seasonal sports come to an end. The only winter sport I’m involved in is snow shoveling and it’s something I don’t enjoy at all.
One of my grandson’s plays hockey so he may not be so happy to see it come to an end, but it is a winter sport for sure.
I’ve been to a few of his games, but had to take a blanket to stay warm. Ice rinks have to be kept cold even though they are mostly indoors.
I love summer weather and many of my children do have pools which they’ll be opening up soon for the Memorial Day weekend here. Next Saturday I’m going to a pool party which will celebrate our Xfactor’s birthday! They’ve got their pool open and are warming up the water so it will be comfortable for everyone to enjoy.
The sign shown in the picture above was a gift to DS#5 and his family who also have a pool to enjoy. They do give hours of summertime fun!
Enjoy the unofficial beginning of summer!
I hope you have a GREAT start to this new week Happy Monday!

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!
