SUNDAY, AUGUST 25TH, 2024
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 National Banana Split Day which celebrates a decadent dessert that has been around since the early 1900’s. It’s the perfect treat for a warm summer night.
The split is a variation of the traditional Ice Cream Sundae and is usually served in a special dish known as a banana boat.
It is easy to make but you’ll need quite a few ingredients. First split a banana and place a half on either side of the boat, then add three scoops of ice cream between - one chocolate, one vanilla and one of strawberry. Generously top the chocolate with hot fudge, the vanilla is topped with candied pineapple and the strawberry one is topped with strawberry sauce. Next swirl whipped cream over each scoop. Finish it off with a sprinkle of Crushed nuts and a few maraschino cherries.
To celebrate today set up a make your own banana split buffet and dig in and enjoy!
To see the bright side, polish the dull side
This banana wants you to be happy. Look it is even smiling at you.

I do love ice cream and have a banana split occasionally, but I have to use non sweetened ice cream. Instead of buying three cartoons of ice cream in three flavors, I usually get Neapolitan that has chocolate, vanilla and strawberry in it.
I doubt I have any pictures to share of banana splits, but I know I have some of bananas and ice cream so that is what I’m sharing today.
We still haven’t found an ice cream shop here so we have to make our own sundaes if we want one.
It’s going to be another quiet Sunday here as once again my daughter is working her part time job today. She’ll be home this evening so at least we can enjoy dinner together.
I’m still reading my beach books but this time the beach is on the shores of Lake Michigan. It’s a little cooler there so it’s been a refreshing read. It’s always amazing where our imaginations take us when we read.
We’re still in the 90’s here so it will be a good day to enjoy the pool for awhile.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
Get your daily does of bananas and laughter. Laughter guaranteed with each banana.

Celebrate and enjoy a delicious Banana split today ! Yum!
Now my taste buds are jumping! Best I can do is Rebel coffee chip ice cream with Cool Whip and walnut pieces -- but after all I had to eat at yesterday's conference I'd better settle for a cup of fat-free yogurt.
I don't care for banana splits too much - but what kind of ice cream is non sweetened ice cream????
