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 Hammock Day which is a reminder to us all to slow down, breathe easy and enjoy these beautiful summer months.
Though its origin is unknown, hammocks originated hundreds of years ago in South America. Allegedly, the journals of Christopher Columbus provide the first documentation of the hammock. Although some sources attribute this invention to the Ancient Greeks. One thing for sure - hammocks have always been a symbol of leisure.
Celebrate today and take a few minutes sit back and unwind on a hammock. Grab a good book and a cool drink, or lie back for a nap.
To see the bright side, polish the dull side
People who work hard often work too hard…May we learn to honor the hammock, the siesta, the nap and the pause in all its forms.
Alice Walker
I do thoroughly enjoy summer and spend many a day sitting on the porch with a cold drink and a good book. I enjoy being outside and seeing the sunshine. I’ve even been known to take naps out there. Just give me a comfy chair and I can fall asleep any where.
When it gets hot outside it is better to slow down and relax a while. These hot days were not meant for a lot of work.
I’ve never had a hammock but do like them. DS#1 used to have one at the campground and took quite few lazy afternoon naps there. Meanwhile, I make do with a comfy chair out on the porch.
We may get some rain this afternoon, but this morning is quite pleasant with party cloudy skies.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week! Happy Monday!
Life is better with a hammock, some sunshine and a good book.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
12,521 for hammocks to relax in
12,522. for a comfy chair to sit in
12,523. for a porch which gives shade and shelter from the sun and rain
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
Naps are nature’s way of reminding you that life is nice, like a beautiful swinging hammock strung between birth and infinity.
