ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
THURSDAY, JUNE 10TH, 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 Iced Tea Day which honors an iconic summer beverage and one of the most refreshing elixirs known to man. There is something magical about the combination of tea, mint leaves and fresh lemon slices served over ice. Historians believe that people began serving cold tea sometime during the 19th century. The drink became popular when vendors stated selling it at public events and the World’s Fair.
Today people make iced tea using a variety of flavors. You can also mix it with other beverages. One of the most popular is Arnold Palmer, which consists of half iced tea and half lemonade.
Sweetened or unsweetened , flavored or unflavored, celebrate today and have a glass of your favorite iced tea.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Iced tea is too pure and natural creation not to have been invented as soon as tea, ice and hot weather crossed paths.
John Egerton
My favorite way to make my iced tea is to add cranberry juice. It’s a natural way to sweeten it and I certainly don’t need to add more sugar in my life. I’m trying to cut back on the sweet things.
I do love sweet tea from McDonalds, it tastes better than most and they say it’s because of the quality of water they use Thankfully I don’t go to McDonalds very often at all.
It’s been very hot and humid here and iced tea really hits the spot. The more ice the better to cool you off.
Don’t forget when it’s hot out it’s important to stay hydrated.
I hope you have a GREAT day! Happy Thursday!

Take a break and cool off with a glass of refreshing iced tea.
My hubby loves sun tea and I keep it year around for him.
It is Ice tea day here everyday as it is so hot and sunny. I hope you get many hot days soon and enjoy them with many cold teas
Nearly everyone here in the South drinks sweet tea. (At least it seems that way.) Years ago on a visit to see son and family, my mother announced she was 'spitting cotton' ...aka, in need of a cold drink. We went through two fast-food drive-ins, but neither of them had unsweetened, so we wound up just going home and making our own.
I'd forgotten your tip about adding cranberry juice, but no more. I'm putting that on my shopping list right now.
I love a nice cold glass of sweet tea every once in awhile, it hits the spot. I hope you are having a nice day Ma. :)
