Today is National Bubba Day which honors anyone named or called Bubba. To qualify to be honored today, your name can be formally, or informally Bubba.
There's a lot of ways to celebrate National Bubba Day. Acting like a Bubba is your starting point.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
From our ancestors come our names from our virtues our honor.
Proverb
My youngest son is fondly called Bubba by his siblings, so this is a day I’ll be celebrating. The pictures are of him and his family too. Not only do we get to celebrate his birthday every year but also a special day to celebrate his nickname too!
My dad said that in Hungarian, Bubba meant beloved, and that he is ! Some of the grandchildren even call him Uncle Bubba. I’m not sure if some of them don’t realize that isn’t his real name.
Blue skies have been the norm so far this week and that’s a good thing. Seems I always feel better when the sun is shinning. One way or the other, I always try to make my own sunshine. It’s another new day and something to celebrate for sure !
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday !
PRAYER REQUESTS
DDIL #4 sent an update on her Godmother and has asked for continued prayers. She , the Godmother, is having surgery to remove the tumor in her colon today and they have found cancer is in her lungs and liver now. After surgery they will start chemo and radiation to shrink the other as well. Please pray for a successful surgery and treatments in the days ahead. May the dear Lord bless her with strength and healing and guide the hands of the doctors caring for her. Amen
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is Rocky Road Day which is a day dedicated to the eating of Rocky Road ice cream; a dessert made from marshmallows, nuts, and chocolate. As well as an ice cream flavor, Rocky Road has become a popular dessert that uses these same ingredients.
Rocky Road Ice Cream Sundae
2 scoops chocolate ice cream
1/4 cup Mini Marshmallows
1/8 cup nuts, use your favorite kind
Melt marshmallows with one teaspoon of water in microwave for 30 seconds or until they double in size; stir.
Place two scoops of chocolate ice cream in a bowl. Top with melted marshmallows and nuts. Enjoy!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Titles are but nicknames, and every nickname is a title.
Thomas Paine
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3913. for Bubba, he’s my youngest son
3914. for marshmallows and chocolate, mmmm good!
3915. for sunny days and blue skies that always make me smile
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
Nicknames stick to people, and the most ridiculous are the most adhesive.

Isn't it interesting how nicknames like this get assigned to someone in a family or among a group of friends? Will say a prayer for the lady with cancer, such a uphill battle she will have.

My granddaughter Harley called her big brother Bubba when they were little. I miss hearing her say that!
Praying for your DIL's Godmother Pam. That sounds really bad. Prayers can work miracles however. That top photo of your son made me smile. What a nice picture! We called our youngest son Bubba too! His name is Bruce, so Bubba just fit. Hav ea fabulous Friday! You share the nicest things. God bless you! You should be named a National Treasure! Love and hugs! xoxo
God loves you
