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.

Life is a special occasion!
Today is National Ice Cream Sandwich Day which celebrates a sweet sandwich that is always a delicious.
They 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 to chocolate chip cookies.
To celebrate today, visit your nearest store or ice cream truck and get a big ice cream sandwich to enjoy!
To see the bright side, polish the dull side
It is always sad when someone leaves home, unless they are simply going around the corner and will return in a few minutes with ice cream sandwiches.

I do love and have eaten many ice cream sandwiches in my life, but that was before I needed to go on a no sugar diet. It’s been awhile since I’ve had one.
It’s easy to make your own ice cream sandwiches. All you have to do is put two cookies together with some softened ice cream in the middle and then wrap them up and freeze them. I used to buy a boxful at the grocery store and keep them in the freezer during the summer. They are and easy dessert when you are in a hurry. Besides no one wants to turn the oven on in the summer.
It’s another partly cloudy day here and temps are once again soaring into the 100’s. DD has a day off today and it will be nice to have someone at home with me. We’ll probably wind up in the pool today, otherwise, it’s a catch up at home day for her.
I hope you all have FANTASTIC Friday!
You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream, and that is pretty much the same thing

Tomorrow we can eat broccoli, but today is for ice cream.

You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought

Enjoy an ice cream sandwich today and celebrate !
That was my momma's favorite ... only she used Graham Crackers. Tom enjoys them (store-bought) every now and then, but for some reason eating them hurts my teeth. I'll have my butter pecan softened in a little dish.
I hope you and DD have a great time together today!
How nice you can end your hot day in the pool with an ice cream sandwich!
That ice cream looks delicious!
