ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

^{MAY 20TH}, 2010

It's THURSDAY!

I think we will be having another nice day today and we'll be much warmer too.

There is some rain coming back Friday night or so but the long range is showing that we'll be close to 80 degrees for awhile.

We'll see...

THINKING

We should pray as Jesus did for the unity of all

Christians

I do not pray for these only, but also for those who be

lieve in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that th

e world may believe that you have sent me. The glory which you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

John 17:20-23

NEW IN THE KITCHEN

Breakfast for dinner day...

Serve breakfast foods for dinner, and you get the best of both worlds; talking and relaxing at the end of the day, and delicious, comforting, very simple foods

Hash brown omelet

6 slices bacon

1/4 cup olive oil

4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes

6 eggs

2 Tbsp. milk

1/2 tsp. salt

dash pepper

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded Havarti cheese

2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Cook bacon in large skillet until brown and crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels, then crumble and reserve. Drain most of bacon fat out of skillet. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to skillet and add potatoes. Cook and stir until browned and crisp. Remove from pan

and set aside.In large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, salt and pepper until combined. Add remaining 3 Tbsp. olive oil to

same skillet and pour in egg mixture. Cook over low heat, tilting pan and lifting egg mixture as it sets to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath.

When mixture is set and bottom is browned, spread cooked

potatoes over and sprinkle with cheeses and reserved bacon.

Cook under broiler for 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. 4 servings

PRAYERS

O God, you didn't create us all the same. Help us to see and appreciate the beauty in the ways we are different yet still your children.

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 perform 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 !

AROUND HOME

Law of Physical Surfaces: The chances of an open-faced
jelly sandwich landing face down

on a floor covering are
directly correlated to the newness and cost of the
carpet/rug.

We got out for a nice walk last evening. Halfway through the walk we stopped for ice cream cones. Even the dogs got their treat. It felt so great to be out.

FAMILY

DS#4's birthday is coming up here on Saturday and his gift will be in the mail today. I just thought I'd mention it as it may or may not be there by Saturday.

This is the last of our May celebrations, but June is just around the corner so there will be lots more coming our way!

COUNTING THE DAYS

All I ask is for a chance to prove that money doesn't buy happiness

33 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…
