ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
AUGUST 29TH, 2011
If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side
It's MONDAY!
And Happy Birthday to DS#1 today!
May the dear Lord bless you today and always!
Enjoy your Special Day!
This is one of those land mark birthdays for him and I was able to do a little celebrating earlier on with him when we camped a couple of weeks ago.
Happy Birthday!

MORE HERBS, LESS SALT DAY
More Herbs, Less Salt Day promotes use of healthy herbs over salts.
Late August is a very appropriate time to celebrate this special day. The harvest of garden herbs is at a peak. There's nothing better than fresh garden herbs in your favorite recipes. It doesn’t take much room or effort to grow a variety of fresh herbs, and a little rosemary, thyme, mint or other herbs can do just as much to enrich a dish than a heavy dose of salt.
Here are two ideas for making your own tasty salt substitutes
Onion Salt Substitute
Onion gives you the taste you are looking for without the salt so you can fool your taste buds
6 teaspoons onion powder
3 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons ground oregano
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 tablespoons mustard powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Zesty Herbal Salt Substitute
3 tablespoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons garlic powder
1 ½ tablespoons paprika
1 ½ tablespoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground dill seed or 1 tsp. dill weed
This one is good run through a blender or grinder before sprinkling on foods.
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!
AROUND HOME
The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour
are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.

The years certainly do fly by. I sometimes have a hard time believing my children are getting older because it means I am getting older too. But every birthday gives us a new year to celebrate and enjoy.
I believe in remembering birthdays with gusto. It’s a celebration of presents, candles, cake, and special wishes. It’s a day to honor life, reflect, and set goals for the future.
We have one more August birthday coming up in just a few days and then September will be here...where or where did the summer go.
Prayer Request
This weekend DSIL had some bad news about one of his uncles who has been just been placed in hospice care. Please join me in praying for him and all the family too. May the dear Lord bless and comfort them.
COUNTING THE DAYS
Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake
24 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
