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 Relaxation Day which is all about taking a step back to unwind and decompress.
Although a certain amount of stress is normal, too much of it can be harmful to your physical and mental health. Take care of yourself today. Read a book, watch a movie, take a nap, or go on a long walk. Studies have shown that going for a walk leads to improved well being and lowers stress levels. No matter what you do, just remember to take it easy, even if it’s only for a few minutes.
Celebrate today and take time to relax!

If you do what you love, it is the best way to relax.

I should be completely stress free, because my life style is nothing but relaxing. I read books every day and also take naps every day. There is nothing stressful about my life at all.
I know I should walk more, but I don’t. Most of the time it just hurts too much. I do what I have to do, but no more than that. I’m just thankful that I can still do that much.
I found out a long time ago that you can’t be good for anyone else if you aren’t first good to yourself.
The summer time is a time to take more time relaxing in the shade or air conditioning. It’s not good to get overheated which is easy to do in the Texan August heat. Temps around a hundred degrees every day wear a body out.
It was already 80 degrees when I woke up this morning. There is also a little breeze blowing so it’s quite nice right now. The back porch is on the shaded side of the house in the morning but gets full sun in the afternoon. So I usually move into the house or to the front porch. It’s not until later in the evening that I can enjoy sitting on the back porch again. So I do walk back and forth which is a good thing.
I hope you all have a GREAT day! Happy Thursday!
Relax! Life is beautiful!

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
12,593. For a day to relax
12,594. for lots of books to read
12,595. for naps on the porch
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
The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.
