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 a Happy Birthday to DS#5 !
Happy Birthday ♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ Happy Birthday¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ Happy Birthday to you♥ ♥ ♥
May the dear Lord Bless and Keep You today and always!
Happy Birthday to you♥
Today is also National S’mores Day which celebrates a delicious tread made for three ingredients - graham cracker, toasted marshmallows and melted chocolate. Yum!
The firsts official recipe for them was published in the Girl Scout Handbook, but culinary historians believe the tradition began much earlier. Over the years the recipe was passed from camper to camper and eventually became a fireside treat. The reason it’s called a s’more is because you’l always want some more of this decadent treat.
To celebrate today make your campfire and have a delicious s’more or two! Enjoy!!!

For some strange unknown reason I was sure that this son’s birthday was today, but it turns out it was actually yesterday. How I could forget that it was his birthday is the unbelievable part. He was the largest baby I had and weighed at 8lbs, 10 oz. The others were all 7 pounds and and some oz. He is the tallest of all my sons. He is 6 feet,4 inches. Since he lives back in Ohio, a card will soon be sent in the mail to wish him a Happy Birthday filled with love and birthday wishes.
I’m not so good at remembering it seems and I’m sorry this is a day late !
The pictures shown today are from previous birthdays that I was able to share with him.
We had quite a hard rain yesterday and it cooled things down quite bit, but the morning it is warm and very humid. The rain is always appreciated especially with this heat we’ve had.
DD is working at her part time job again today so it’ll be a pretty quiet one. I had both my granddags in bed with me last night. They like to be together. They even let me sleep in a little this morning. I got up about 7 which is normal for me, but not for them.
I love S’mores and ate them often when we were camping. I’ve even made them at home in the toaster oven by placing a marshmallow on a graham cracker and topping it off with piece of chocolate. They are delicious and I usually can only eat one. That fills me up.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
One of the secrets to a happy life is continuous small treats.
