ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7th, 2013

14 DAYS UNTIL FALL

Sunrise:7:01 am

Sunset: 7:51 pm

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

On this day in 1963, the Pro Football Hall of Fame opened in Canton, Ohio. Since the Hall of Fame's opening more than 7 million people have visited.

Good fame is like fire; when you have kindled you may easily preserve it; but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again. 

Francis Bacon

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

If fame were based on kindness instead of popularity, on understanding and not on worldwide attention, you would be the biggest celebrity on earth.  And to my heart, you already are.

While I've never been at the Football Hall of Fame I have been in and around the Canton area.  It is officially football season now and that usually means some good food too.  Whether you tailgate before a game or just enjoy some wonderful snacks while watching the game on TV, food seems to go well with the game of football.

I've seen a lot of good recipes lately and so today I'll be sharing one that looked pretty scrumptious.

Sausage Dip

16 oz. Velveeta Cheese
10 oz. Rotel tomatoes (Original)
8 oz. sausage
 
Cook the sausage and drain.
Add all ingredients to Crockpot.
Cook til blended well.
 
Serve with tortilla chips!
Enjoy!!

I haven't tried it yet, but a friend recommended it as her son loves it.  

I do have a Hall of Fame right here on the wall in my house.  It's filled with all the stars in my life.

Hope you all have a super Saturday!

PRAYER REQUEST

Please join me today in praying for peace in our world.

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.


O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 

Amen

COUNTING MY GIFTS

You don’t even miss a beat when gratitude to God is the beat of your heart.

Anne Voskamp

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.

926.  for places that recognize stars and their achievements

927. for my family, the stars in my life

928. for friends that share the good things in life

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 !

Some people obtain fame, others deserve it. 

Doris Lessing

A little smile, a word of cheer, 

A bit of love from someone dear…

 

Love,
