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!

Today is Fire Prevention Day which exists both to raise awareness of practices that can help prevent these disasters, and to recognise the work of the fire fighters who relieve them. It is also often used to commemorate particularly famous and devastating fires in individual communities, such as the Great Chicago Fire in North America. According to legend, this fire was started when a Mrs O’Leary’s milch cow kicked over a lantern in her shed.
Remember EDITH which stand for Exit Drills In The Home. Today is a good day to have a practice drill.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Practice fire safety - watch what you heat.

There is a lot that can be done as far as fire prevention and fire safety goes. I’m very thankful for smoke detectors I have . They are a wonderful invention and have saved many lives. It’s the perfect day to check and make sure the smoke alarm batteries are working too.
Yesterday I was able to visit with my sister.The results of all the testing shows that she had a heart attack, but she seems to be recovering very well. Today they’ll be doing a heart cath to check and see if she has any blockages that might have caused it. So for now she remains in ICU. I’ll be going to the hospital later today with my BIL to see how she is doing and what they find out. I’ll update you all tomorrow.
We had some heavy rain over night, but they say it’s going to lighten up and only intermittent showers are on tap for the rest of the day. When I looked out the window this morning I saw puddles in the yard that I hadn’t seen since late last Spring.
Take good care all !
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 Moldy Cheese Day which is a chance to take Stilton sandwiches to work, or make cheese on toast with tasty Gorgonzola.
Mold is common in cheese. Its part of what gives a particular cheese flavor and character. For example, the blue stuff in Blu Cheese is mold.
COUNTING MY GIFTS
He who sits by the fire, thankless for the fire, is just as if he had no fire. Nothing is possessed save in appreciation, of which thankfulness is the indispensable ingredient.
W.J. Cameron
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5329. for firefighters
5330. for smoke alarms
5331. for cheese, good and good for you
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
