ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

TUESDAY, MAY 28TH, 2013

24 DAYS TILL SUMMER

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

The end of May signals the start of outdoor grilling season, and hamburgers are the hallmark of al fresco dining. On May 28th, Hamburger Day, folks everywhere fire up their barbecues to cook up delicious burgers with unlimited toppings.

The way you cut your meat reflects the way you live.  

Confucius

This year I'll be missing out on all the good food DS#1 loves to grill.  

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

An empty belly is the best cook.  

Estonian Proverb

Most of my sons learned to cook, simply because they loved to eat.  They were always in the kitchen when it was time to fix dinner.  Most of them love to grill food outdoors and are very good at it too.  

We had to laugh when DS#4 found a medal to wear at a garage sale when I visited him.  It was a burger king medal and he does fix some wonderful burgers.  He's in the picture below and even though it was raining the burgers turned out really good!

I also got to enjoy some really good grilled hot dogs at the birthday party over the weekend.  They never seem half so good when cooked indoors.  This time of year it's great to sit out on the patio and enjoy my food.  Even if it's only a sandwich I think eating outdoors makes the food taste better.  

Monday we were in the lower 60's here in northern Ohio, but today they say we'll be back in the 80's.  Hopefully our cool spells are gone for now and we'll be enjoying some wonderful warm days!

I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

For food, for raiment,
For life, for opportunity,
For friendship, and fellowship,
We thank thee o' Lord,
Amen.

I am trying to count at least 3 things I'm thankful for each day and then in 1 year's time I'll have counted 1000 gifts. I’ll be sharing them and giving thanks to God for these gifts each day.   

619.  for outdoor grilling, mmmm good

620. for more time to spend outdoors, I love it

621. for beautiful days to enjoy

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.

 

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!

After dinner sit a while, and after supper walk a mile.  

English Saying
