THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Few things are more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own.
Doug Larson
Today this grandson becomes an official teenager. Now that is something special to celebrate. As usual my birthday greetings went out in the mail. But it is wonderful to end the month April on a positive note!
It’s hard believe that tomorrow we’ll be welcoming in the month May. There will be many more birthdays to celebrate, a couple of anniversaries and even a baptism. It will be another exciting month.
April began with a day that celebrated falsehoods, April Fool’s Day, and ends with a day that celebrates and acknowledges the importance of honesty, Today we also celebrate Honesty Day. Truthfulness can strengthen relationships and make them more productive. Embrace truth and honesty today and everyday.
They are saying today might start out nicely but showers are to come our way by evening.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is Oatmeal Cookie day and in honor of this deliciously sweet holiday, I found a recipe for these delectable Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin cookies! Enjoy!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Beat together:
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
add 2 large eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla
Sift:
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Add dry mix to the butter mixture. Then add:
3 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups raisins
Incorporate all ingredients but don’t over mix. Use a small scoop, portion off the dough.
Press dough down to desired thickness and bake 12 to 14 minutes.
Makes 24 large cookies. Serve warm with a nice scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
A good laugh is sunshine in the house.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3817. For our Sunshine boy, it’s his birthday today!
3818. for oatmeal, good anyway you want to fix it.
3819. for honesty, always the best policy
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
Always tell the truth. If you can't always tell the truth, don't lie.

Happy birthday to your handsome Sunshine! They do grow up so fast we only have two now that aren't teenagers. We have several g-grandkids that are teenagers. Look how old that makes me. Lol. Take care, Jean.
Agreed ... becoming a teen is a Very Big Deal. :)
Wishing your Sunshine Boy so many joyous firsts.
Happy Birthday to Sunshine
