ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
THURSDAY, JULY 8TH, 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.

Video games aren’t just for kids anymore. In fact they have become a popular as group activities for parties of all ages. People get excited to battle their friends in adventure, sports and music themed competitions all from their own home.

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Gamers always believe that an epic win is possible and that it’s always worth trying and trying now.
Jane McGonigal
I won’t be seeing this son and DIL today as it’s a busy day for me. I have my regular check up at the doctors office and then I’m going over to DD’s to start my vacation. They are also going to be doing a blood test so no eating before I go. I am allowed to have my coffee, but that is all. Still I’m sending out anniversary wishes to them full of love and happiness to them in the future.
I’m not a gamer and really don’t have any interest in video games but many of my grand children are. When I asked one of them what he wanted to be when he grew up, he said he wanted to be a gamer. Some are also developing their computer skills so they can develop their own games to play.
I’ve got so many other things I enjoy doing I’ve never gotten into playing games. Sitting and reading a good book is more exciting to me. Some say they are having to limit screen time. It’s not always easy on the eyes. Some forget what it’s like to live in the real world and don’t get any exercise. I don’t get a lot of exercise either, but they say reading is good for the brain. It makes you think and use your imagination.
My screen time is spent reading books not playing games. I have a kindle that lets me get library books on line. It’s free and doesn’t cost any money. I used to be limited in what books I could read on line, but not any more. It’s a service that the libraries provide.
I hope you have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!

It's going to be another hot and humid day with scattered showers, but tomorrow it will be cooler.
The best things in life are free - fresh air, sun shine, flowers and a whole lot more. Family is so important. We here believe that "blood is thicker than water." So nice to see pictures of a happy extended family with smiles, laughter and lots of love. Thanks for sharing all the love. We have hot humid weather EVERY DAY with evening thunder storms.
Happy Anniversary to DS#5 and his wife. I hope you get a great report from the doc today. Enjoy your mini vacation at DD's house! :)
Happy :) Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary to these love birds! Like you, I never had much interest in video games. That industry arrived on the scene about the time my son was an adolescent. Thankfully, he enjoyed them but wasn't obsessed. I agree, more satisfaction can be found in a good book.
