ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

SUNDAY, JUNE 6TH, 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 National Gardening Exercise Day which is celebrated on June 6th.  Gardening is more than a hobby.  Gardening exercise includes activities like digging, planting, reaping and cutting.  Doing this executes many different movements that nearly all kinds of muscles are activated and automatically trained.  As a reward to a nice and cozy garden surrounds the house and invites us to spend time outside. 

This  holiday calls attention  to a healthy activity for people of all ages. Who lacks a garden of his own can take part is garden clubs or visit a neighbor.  A garden offers the opportunity to have vegetables and fruits and to have  our own place to recreate in fresh air.  It also provides small animals like birds and hedgehogs a nice place to live which is a good step to gong green.

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The glory of gardening, hands in the dirt, head in the sun heart with nature.  To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body , but the soul.

Alfred Austin

I no longer have a garden, but I used to and I miss it, so I have plants in containers here now.  The flower boxes on my porch do require some exercise too.  I have to get out and water them about every other day.  Even small weeds find their way now and then and I must weed them too.  It’s not a lot of work, but better than none.  I love flowers and thanks to my daughter and a couple of my sons. I now have many to enjoy.  I also have some fresh herbs planted in pots on the porch that were a gift from DS#2 and his wife.  Container gardens are better than nothing at all.

As usual I’m off to church this morning, I will be home to rest and relax after that.  It’s a beautiful day to spend out on my sun porch.  I’ll turn the fan on and sit back and read another book.  I may even move my chair outdoors and soak up some sunshine for awhile.  I need it and all the benefits it provides.

I hope you have a RELAXING Sunday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS
