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.

Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Free Comic Book Day which is an annual promotional effort by the North American Comic Book industry to help bring new readers into independent comic book stores. At last count, over 2,000 retailers in 30 countries participate in this fun filled day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.
Dr. Seuss
Some of my sons have collected comic books since they were young and they have participated in Free Comic Book day too. Collecting comic books is a great hobby and a good source for some great stories too.
I’ve probably read more comic strips than comic books in my life. I enjoyed the smiles they brought to each day. It’s important to have something to smile about and somedays that comic strip was all there was. After I stopped getting the daily newspaper, I had a friend that would cut out the funny ones and give them to me. I always appreciated that for sure.
We've all heard that an apple a day will keep the doctor away, but you did know the same is true of a smile? Smiling can boost your mood and even your immune system. So try some comic relief today and SMILE !
The pictures today are of some family smiles that came my way lately.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
Today is National Beverage Day which a day to sit back, relax and enjoy your favorite beverage. They say that Coffee is the second most consumed beverage in the world after water, although some might say it is tea and not coffee.
Today I thought I'd share a recipe for making the best Iced Coffee using your Keurig K cups.
Blueberry Iced Coffee Recipe
2 to 3 Tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
1 Blueberry Coffee K cup, or your favorite flavor
2 cups of ice, not crushed
Add sweetened condensed milk to a heatproof cup, at least 16 to 20 ounce size
Brew K Cup according to your Keurig brewer manufacturer instructions.
Mix thoroughly after done brewing. Add additional milk to taste. Add ice and mix with a long spoon. Enjoy !
The picture above is what happens when you try to make frothy slosh, our favorite party punch, in a pitcher instead of a punch bowl…it frothed all over the place!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Smiling is infectious,
You can catch it like the flu.
Someone smiled at me today,
And I started smiling too.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
4864. for comics, a good hobby and great reading
4865. for a good cup of coffee, my favorite way to start the day
4866. for smiles, always good and good for you too
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
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
Phyllis Diller
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Happy Saturday!
I used to love comic books! Archie and Betty & Veronica! Richie Rich!
My cousin always had stacks of them and she would hide them I visited, otherwise, she said I would spend the whole time reading them and not play with her! HA!!
All great smiles! Never thought of blueberry with coffee. I too had a few comic strips I enjoyed reading when I got the paper.
Betty
I was quite young, but still recall sitting in some random train station with my mother when a soldier gave me his comic book ... my first! Like Kay said, I loved Archie and Richie Rich. 'Always enjoyed seeing Trixie in her little ray of sun in the Hi and Lois comic strips.
I love iced coffee ... this sounds refreshing, for sure.
