ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
TUESDAY, JULY 13TH, 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.

Life is a special occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Fool’s Paradise Day which is a day off for the mind. If the real life is wrecked up and everything might go wrong, the message is to close you eyes and dream of yourself in another world. Paradise is an imagined place where no pain, work, sorrow, annoyance or worries exist. This day is a good occasion to visit perfect places and forget about the troubles of real life.
The day is call Fool’s Paradise Day because escaping from reality or fading out ones’s trouble needs a little foolishness. People who think too much and know a lot are usually not able to le go. However, today it is not foolish to close your eyes, but highly appreciated. Let the whole world fall apart and create your own paradise to visit whenever you need a break.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
To escape and sit quietly on the beach — that’s my idea of paradise.
Emilia Wickstead
I often take myself away on a trip to the beach when ever I need a break. Just closing my eyes and imagining I’m on a beach will relax me more than most anything else. The beach is always my favorite place to be and I don’t really get there very often except for in my mind.
The pictures today are of the last time I was on a beach which is when we visited DS#4 a year ago at Christmas time. This was like a piece of paradise for me, especially since most all my family were together. I think it’s most every mother’s dream to have her family around her. Something that doesn’t happen with mine very often at all. With everyone living far apart from each other, it just isn’t convenient or time worthy. 5 of my children live in Ohio but only 2 of them are close by and the other 2 live out of state and very far away.
Little did I know, when they were little that they’d grow up and move away.But they did and now they have their own homes and families that I rarely get to see. So this trip to the beach was extra special to me.
For today, I’m still hanging out at my daughters house and everything is going well. However it’s been a rainy week and instead of spending time by the pool, I’ve had to spend most of my time indoors. Not the vacation I’d planned on for sure, but then all I have to do is close my eyes and dream about the beach.
I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Children are the keys of paradise.
Eric Hoffer
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
9348.for the beach, dreams take me away
9349. for time to spend with the dogs
9350. for porch to sit on when it’s raining
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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Paradise is a state of mind.
Dolly Parton
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

It's raining again here in Ohio. Hope you all are having a beautiful day !
Sorry it's been so rainy Ma. I agree with you that there is nothing better than having your family all together in one place. I hope you can have a nice family reunion sometime in the near future, and I hope you'll be able to visit the beach again soon too!
Oh, I hope the sun comes out tomorrow! Meanwhile, I love what Flavia says about our dreams being the only ticket necessary to ride. (Something like that.)
