ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
JULY 8th, 2011
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's FRIDAY!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DS#5 AND HIS WIFE TODAY!
May the dear Lord bless you both today and always!
So today as you share delightful
memories of the day
when you were wed-
It's a special pleasure to
wish you many, many more
happy years ahead!
NEW IN THE KITCHEN
National Milk Chocolate with Almonds Day
While other chocolates also pair well with nuts, milk chocolate makes for a lighter tasting treat. A variety of nuts can be used with chocolate other than just almonds. Try cashews, hazelnuts, and peanuts.
Milk Chocolate Almond Bars
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped almonds
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine butter and brown sugar; beat till creamy. Sift together flour and salt and blend in. Press evenly into 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
Sprinkle chocolate chips immediately over top; let set just long enough to soften. Spread evenly over top with knife, sprinkle with almonds. Cool, cut into bars.
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
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 ALL!
AROUND HOME
When God measures a person, God puts the tape around the heart instead of the waist.

Parts and pieces from my daily reflection...
We all know that there is fixation today about trying to have the correct weight. Glossy magazines, advertising and clever marketing give the impression that we have to be slim. Thankfully God uses different standards. God always looks within to measure the worth of a person. It is inside that we always find the real person.
In our hearts or in our soul there is much love, care, energy, kindness, compassion, healing, character and spirit.
These summer months are always a good time to relax and reflect. It is a good time to reflect on all that we have within.
It was a lovely summer day here again yesterday. This week seems to be full of them. It's just so nice to be enjoying the weather for a change after such a long winter and wet spring.
COUNTING THE DAYS
Your heart knows more than any expert!
77 DAYS UNTIL FALL
Keep looking ON THE BRIGHT SIDE of things.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone near…
Love,
ma
