ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SUNDAY, AUGUST 15TH, 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 Relaxation Day. Today we live in a very fast paced world that can be stressful and overwhelming at times. National Relaxation Day is all about taking a step back to unwind and decompress.
Although a certain amount of stress is normal, too much of it can be harmful to your physical and mental health. Take care of yourself today. Read a book, watch a movie, take a nap, or go for a long walk. Studies have shown that going for a walk a few times a week leads t o improved well being and lower stress levels. No matter what you choose to do, just remember to take it easy; even if it’s only for a few minutes.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul’s estate.
Henry David Thoreau
Sunday’s have become the day of the week for me to rest and relax. I think we all need it so we can be better for ourselves and others the rest of the week. Our bodies and minds need some time to recharge, and refresh.
It’s also a day I’m usually going to church, but today I’m staying at home. I’ll watch services on line. I had a full day outside yesterday and need to rest up. It was a lot of fun and quite relaxing to visit with DD at her camper, but it’s was more than I’m used to doing. This is going to be a very slow day for me. I’m not moving fast at all. At this point I’ll be lucky to get out of my pajamas. I guess all that fresh air and sunshine wore me out.
Every one had a lot of fun and I’m thankful we could have this outdoor experience before summer ends and everyone is back to school.
The pictures today are from an end of summer get together a few years ago at DD’s house in her backyard instead of at their camper.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!

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!
