ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

TUESDAY, AUGUST 2ND, 2022

The moments of 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 Ice Cream Sandwich Day which celebrates a sweet treat that is always delicious !

Ice Cream Sandwiches come in many varieties.  In their traditional form, vanilla ice cream is tucked between two thin layers that resemble chocolate cake.  Other versions include chipwiches, ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies. 

Variations of this delight can also be found in different countries.  In Australia, the most popular sandwiches are called Giant Sandwiches, while Maxibons are half dipped in chocolate.  The most exotic ice cream sandwiches might be found in Singapore.  Here, red bean , yam and honeydew are all popular flavors. 

To celebrate today, get a big ice cream sandwich and Enjoy !

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

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

My love for ice cream emerged at an early age- and has never left.

Ginger Rogers

No doubt, I will be celebrating today, I do love ice cream sandwiches and try to keep them on hand during the summer months.  I even tried chocolate syrup over mine and top with whipped cream.  They are a quick and easy dessert.  Just like having your cake and ice cream at the same time.  Ice cream of any kind during the summer is one of my favorite treats!

We are warming up again here and the humidity is increasing,  The whole week looks to be hot with some rain showers too.  That’s the nice thing about our area.  We might get hot but we are not lacking for rain.

We don’t have any forest fires or flooding here, as it’s a good mix and not too much of either.  Those suffering the extremes are in my prayers. 

Today there is a chance of thunderstorms but not until tomorrow evening they say, so it’ll be a good day to get outside.

 I hope you all have  a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

ADVICE FOR TODAY

My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate.
