Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is Kiss and Make Up Day. It's a great way to end a spat. Everyone has an argument, a fight, or a tiff once in a while. Family, friends, lovers, no one escapes without an occasional fight. Today is a day to end the fight, kiss, and make up.
Kiss and make up is a English language idiom that means to forgive someone and be friends again with them. Let’s find a way to resolve the differences and celebrate with a new start on National Kiss and Make Up Day
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
Shel Silverstein
It’s nice we have a day to remind us to resolve our differences and make a new start, however, we get a chance for a fresh start every day of the year.
Studies show that people who forgive are happier and healthier than those who hold resentments. We'll reduce the anger, bitterness, resentment, depression, and other negative emotions that accompany the failure to forgive.
True forgiveness is easier said than done. It can be difficult, especially if someone truly upset you in a way that contradicted your values and morals. However, it’s important to remember that holding that grudge is not going to fix anything. The next time someone upsets you, remember to forgive if you want to live happily as well as healthily.
We should never forget that we’ll be forgiven as we forgive others.
There's something so special about a kiss: It's personal, it's sweet and when it's made out of chocolate, it's positively delicious
I found a new to me recipe using chocolate kisses so I thought I’d better share it today
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Acorns
Melt 1/2 bag of Chocolate Chips, 5 second interval in the microwave, stirring really good each time
Dip the flat end of a Chocolate Kiss into melted chocolate and top with a bite size peanut butter cookie, like NutterButter Mini.
Dip the flat end of a Chocolate Chip into the melted chocolate and stick it to the peanut butter cookie. This looks like an acorn.
Note: If you have a peanut allergy, substitute a Ritz Bitz!
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3067. for forgiveness, it’s a blessing we get and give
3068. for a fresh start and 2nd chances
3069. for temps in the 70’s, a relief from the heat
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.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Kissing is a means of getting two people so close together that they can't see anything wrong with each other.
Rene Yasenek
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

I like this thought for the day.
My husband and I rarely argue....I hate it when we do but a sense of humor has been our secret through the years. It will take you a long way.
Have a grand day!

Yum on that acorn recipe!! It is always good to forgive, not forget, but to forgive rather than to harbor resentment and bitterness :)
