THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The family you come from isn't as important as the family you're going to have.
Ring Lardner
This is the birthday of my favorite SIL. Matter of fact, he’s the only SIL I have and he is a truly good one ! I’m glad he’s a part of our family.
International Nurse Day is also celebrated on May 12, because this it's the birthday of Florence Nightingale. Nurses are very special people and their devotion to their work is to be admired and applauded.
They say we may see temps in the upper 70’s today and there are chances of evening thunderstorms. We’ve been in the 50’s and lower 60’s now for quite a while so this will seem like a little heat wave. It’s not suppose to last more than one day though and we’ll return to the cooler temps.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is National Nutty Fudge Day
To honor this day I found this recipe to share
Nutty Fudge Balls
1 cup peanut butter, crunchy or smooth
1 cup chocolate chips
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
In a saucepan, melt the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and maple syrup. Then fold in the chopped nuts.
Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Once chilled, roll the mixture with your hands into bite-sized balls and place on a serving tray.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Other things may change us, but we start and end with family.
Anthony Brandt
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3853. For DSIL, it’s his birthday today!
3854. for nurses, they are very appreciated
3855. for a quick and easy fudge recipe
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
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
Earl Nightingale
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

I love the Ring Lardner quote. So true!! Fudge is one of my favorite things to eat. Yet, I rarely make it! This is such a simple recipe!
God bless you
Happy birthday to your SIL! They are such a cute looking family :) Yum on the fudge; I would be afraid to make it though, might eat it all myself :)
