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.
Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals
Life is a special occasion!
Today is Raspberry Cake Day which celebrates the Raspberry, an edible fruit of the multitude of plant species in the genus Rubus of the rose family, most of which are in the subgenus idaeobatus; the name also applies to the plants themselves. Raspberries are a perennial with woody stems.
They are an important commercial fruit crop, widely grown in all temperate regions of the world. Traditionally they were a midsummer crop, but now with new technology, cultivars, and transportation, they can be had year round. Raspberries need ample sun and water for optimal growth.
Celebrate today and enjoy some delicious and nutritious raspberry cake for dessert tonight.

I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. black berries, anything with 'eerie in it.

Like all berries. raspberries are very good for you, right along with blue berries. I like my raspberries on short cake, just like you serve strawberries, but some spread raspberry jam between the layers of their cake and put it on the top. Another way you might enjoy them, would be in a raspberry filled jelly donut. It’s all good!
Yesterday’s pizza dinner was fun and delicious and afterward we walked across the street to a bakery. Oh my it was a good one. DS#2 bought me a cream puff and a cup of cold brew coffee. I ate half of it yesterday evening and will have the other half this evening for my dessert. It was delicious and really hit the spot. It’s a good thing I don’t go to that bakery very often. Everything in it looked wonderful ! I shouldn’t be eating sweet stuff at all but every now and then I do just so I stop craving something sweet. Just a little at a time will do that for me. Right now I’m not sure what we’re up to today, but it is a sunny blue sky morning so it should be a beautiful day. I’ll probably end up in the pool at some point just to cool off a bit. We should get to 95 degrees they say. but right now it its only 77 degrees and wonderful.
I started a new medication yesterday. It’s breathing treatments using a nebulizer. My daughter already had one so we didn’t have to buy one. We only had to get the medication that goes in it. She had used it on her son when he was little and had RSPV. This is supposed to help with the coughing. We’ll see. I couldn’t get the inhaler he wanted because my insurance wouldn’t cover it. So he recommended this instead.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
Blueberries, strawberries and black berries are true super foods. Naturally sweet and juicy. Berries are low in sugar and high in nutrients - they are among the best foods you can eat.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
12,512 for a wonderful dinner out with family
12,513. for a treat from the bakery
12,514. for sunshine, it does make me smile.
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
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 EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
Eat more berries. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and other varieties have anthoncyanins that can help reverse some loss of balance and memory associated with aging.

A bit of love from someone dear…
