ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

MAY 17th, 2010

It's MONDAY!

That sure was one fast weekend. It turned out to be a beautiful day on Sunday and we really enjoyed being with DS#3 and his family for a very special celebration. Actually there were 2 celeb

rations as we also celebrated our Angels birth

day too.

Today I'm back at DS#6's watching our little Lucky guy. He sure did have some big smiles for me when I got here yesterday evening.

THINKING

If you use what you have to bless others, God will see to it that you have everything you need, and more. So your goal should be to enjoy the things God gives you and to share with others. This shows your love for the Father.

Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the

world, love for the Father is not in him.

NEW IN THE KITCHEN

SPICED HONEY CHICKEN

Great for a BBQ, great by itself, great in a salad, grea

t in a sandwich,

you name it it's good

1 tablespoon oil

4 CHICKEN BREAST HALVES

Rub

2 teaspoons GARLIC POWDER

2 teaspoons CHILI POWDER

1/2 teaspoon ONION POWDER

1 teaspoon SALT

1/2 teaspoon CUMIN

1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (depen

ding on your tastes)

Glaze

1/2 cup HONEY

1 tablespoon CIDER VINEGAR

Combine rub spices together in a bowl

Drizzle oil over chicken so that it is all lightly covered, then toss with rub until all chicken is well coated.

Grill chicken for 3-4 min per side until well cooked through

Meanwhile, combine the glaze ingredients - easier to do this if

honey is heated in the microwave for like 10 sec first

For the last minute or so of grilling, brush chicken all over with about 2/3s of the glaze the grill may begin to smoke a little because of the honey--i

t's ok though

Take chicken off the grill--let it rest for ab

out a minute--then cover with the remainder

of the honey glaze.

PRAYERS

Lord Jesus, help me to trust in your saving power, especially when I meet adversities and trials. Give me your peace when I am troubled and let me know the joy of your victory over sin and death

Amen

Please pray for God's protection of

our troops and HIS wisdom for their

commanders.

Lord, hold our troops in

your loving hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families for the

selfless acts they perfor

m for us

in our time of need. I ask this in the

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Bob Dylan

I've lots of good memories stored up for sure. Yesterday's time with family was fun as always. I am always amazed at how fast the grand babes grow and change so much

FAMILY

Here's a picture DS#3 and his family sharing lots of smile for everyone.

COUNTING THE DAYS

35 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.

A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…

Love,
