ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8TH, 2016
12 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER
Sunrise: 5:55 am
Sunset: 9:00 pm
Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
It’s Upsy Daisy Day which encourages us to face the day positively, and to get up ‘gloriously, gratefully and gleefully’ each morning. Each day is a gift, and being able to wake up to start another one is an opportunity.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
If you cannot be grateful for what you have received, then be thankful for what you have been spared.
Yiddish Proverb
I am always grateful for another day. We take so much for granted, and don’t truly appreciate what we have until we no longer have it. Whether that be good health, money, a great job, or simply love, we miss it when its gone, but don’t give much thought to it at the time.
The moment you open your eyes each day is a gift from God to you. Everybody is given a brand new day. Everybody is given another day to love. Everybody is given another day of hope. Everybody is given another chance to do whatever they have failed to accomplish.
By being grateful, we learn treasure the things around us and to appreciate life in a better way. Remember to treat others better and find yourself in a better mood every day.
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday !
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is National Jelly Filled Doughnut Day
I’m thinking that this easy baked 'biscuit to doughnut' version will become a favorite.
6 tablespoons Butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup raspberry jelly
1 can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, 10 biscuits
Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, place melted butter. In another small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Stir jelly until smooth. Seal tip of large baster with foil. Remove rubber bulb. Spoon jelly into baster; replace bulb.
Bake biscuits as directed on can. Immediately dip each hot biscuit into melted butter, coating all sides. Roll in sugar mixture, heavily coating all sides of each biscuit. Remove foil from tip of baster. Insert baster in side of each biscuit; squeeze small amount of jelly into center. Refill baster as needed. Serve warm or cool.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
A simple grateful thought turned heavenwards is the most perfect prayer.
Doris Lessing
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3931. for each day, it is a gift
3932. for jelly, strawberry is my favorite
3933. for daisies, we have some growing here
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!
