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.

Today is also Positive Thinking Day. Today is all about attitude…a positive attitude.. The power of positive thinking is absolutely astounding. Research confirms that a positive attitude works wonders at fighting disease and ailments, from the common cold to cancer. People with a positive attitude are far more likely to succeed at work and in accomplishing every goal they set in life.
Happy Positive Thinking Day. It’s going to be a spectacular day!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.
Author Unknown
This little granddaughter’s birthday is another of my long distance celebrations, but the card went out in the mail as usual to wish her a very Happy Birthday! Most of the pictures I have of her are with her family and that is what my pictures are of today.
The good news today is that we have a birthday to celebrate and even though it won’t be in person, I’ll be celebrating. One cannot help but be happy when they look at this sweet little girl.
I’m always looking for the bright side of every day, so I guess I would qualify as a positive thinker. I know from experience that there is always something good to be found in every day if we take the time to look for it.
The great thing is that we all get to choose our own attitude. We can choose to be happy or sad, and I’ve made up my mind that I’d rather be happy. Life is too short!
This week, like last week, is a busy one for me with much to do. I’m endeavoring to make some headway but it’s a slow process. I took time out to bake a banana bread coffee cake yesterday as I had 3 very ripe bananas that needed to either be pitched or used. So even though I hadn’t planned to bake, I did just that. Today is to be warmer so I won’t be turning the oven on and I’m hoping I won’t have to turn the air conditioning on either. We’ll see...
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!
It’s National Peanut Day
Peanuts are one of America’s favorite snack foods. Peanuts star in a variety of recipes and are a topping for countless foods and desserts. Peanuts are not actually nuts but are legumes, like peas, peans and lentils.
Research suggests that peanuts can reduce cardiovascular disease and lowers triglycerides in the body. They are high in protein and faber and are now believed to help curb hunger, and therefore help in diet control.
I love to snack on peanuts and the picture above shows my favorite fall treat. It’s a mixture of candy corn and dry roasted peanuts. Simply delicious as it’s a mixture of sweet and salty. Yum!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5251. for positive thoughts, they do help
5252. for peanuts, one of my favorite snacks
5253. for our little Northern Belle, it’s her 6th birthday today
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
There are exactly as many special occasions in life as we choose to celebrate.
