ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.

This grandson, whom I fondly call Dino Boy because he loved dinosaurs when he was little, is growing into a fine young man and a card was sent out with my love and birthday wishes. It’s definitely another long distance celebration for this Grand’ma’. He and his sister are both in the Rotc and I’m very proud of them.
Wishing good health and happiness is something we often do on birthdays so it seems appropriate that today is also World Heath Day, which marks the anniversary of the World Health Organization on April 7th. The goal of the organization is to bring health issues to the forefront and educate both the public and policy makers. WHO launched the First World Health Assembly in 1948 and every year a health theme is chosen that needs awareness.
We have a slushy mix of snow and rain on the ground that began yesterday evening and continued over night. Total accumulation is supposed to be less than one inch they say. But it will warm up with temps in the 50’s tomorrow then in the low 70’s on Sunday. Crazy weather for sure !
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
National Coffe Cake Day
Coffee cakes are often part of a breakfast meal or make a great afternoon pick me up snack
In honor of the day I found this recipe to share with you all today.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until done.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
It is truly a gift to be alive.
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4798. for our Dino Boy, it’s his birthday today !
4799. for coffee and cake, a great combination
4800. for good heath, a gift money cannot buy
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 !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want.

I often wished our school would have had ROTC for my kids. It is such a good program. Happy Birthday to your find grandson. Have a beautiful weekend
Happy Birthday to Dino Boy! Hope he has a great year ahead! ROTC is a wonderful program to be part of indeed!
betty
Yes, ROTC is a great organization for young men and women! Goodness, but I can see the resemblance in your 'Dino Boy' and his sister. I know you must be so very proud of them. :)
Belated Happy Birthday Greetings to your dear Grandson. How very alike he and his sister look! I know what it is like to be so far away from these dear loved ones on their special days. Hope you are settling in well and that your cold has all bit disappeared now and that Spring is arriving for you! My kids went to Air Cadets and loved it. It is good for them. Teaches them self discipling I think! Thanks so much for all that you share and for your faithfulness in reading me back. It means the world to me. Have a super Saturday. Love and hugs. xoxo
