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.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Son, you outgrew my lap, but never my heart.
Author Unknown
This son’s birthday is another one of those long distance celebrations, but I got the card sent out in the mail wishing him the happiest of birthdays ever!
Hard to believe we are starting another new week here. This is the last full week of May and next Monday we’ll be celebrating Memorial Day already. The week ahead looks like we’ll be in the upper 60’s and mid 70’s for the most part. Temps like these are what we usually call normal for our area.
Today is also Sherlock Holmes Day which celebrates a real literary classic that never gets old. Sherlock Holmes Day might be the perfect time to play a little detective, yourself. Whatever little mystery is keeping you awake at night, let today be the day you decide to find out what’s up!
It doesn’t take much detective work at all to find out what makes me happy — sunshine and smiles! And the pictures today of DS#4 and his family certain provide lots of big SMILES!
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s National Vanilla Pudding Day.
I use vanilla pudding in lots of recipes. One of my favorites is layering with cake to make a trifle. Today’s recipe is a easy one. Vanilla pudding is a classic for sue.
2 tbsp. cornstarch
Sprinkle of salt
3 egg yolks
1/2 c. sugar
26 oz. milk
Cook until it boils, stirring constantly. Cool and serve.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Gratitude is the memory of the heart.
Jean Baptiste Massieu
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4912. for my family, they always make me smile
4913. for sunshine, hopefully we’ll see some today
4914. for desserts, pudding is good
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
It takes a lot of work from the face to let out a smile, but just think what good smiling can bring to the most important muscle of the body... the heart.
