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
Only love can can be divided endlessly, and still not diminish.

I’m happy to say I’m a MIL and have a SIL and six wonderful DIL’s and I’m glad to have them as members of my family. They are all a very welcome addition.
This family of mine has grown in leaps and bounds over the past 20 some years. They all have wonderful families of their own too. My grandchildren range in years from one in her 20’s to one that is two years old. With such wonderful people in my life, I think being a MIL is an honor and a joy for sure!
The pictures today are of my wonderful SIL and DIL’s. Because of them I feel doubly blessed!
It’s Sunday and my day of rest as usual. It was a busy week and another one is just around the corner. The weather has been just beautiful and I have a lot to be thankful for today. Remember a Sunday well spent, makes for a week of content.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!
WHAT’S NEW IN THE KITCHEN
There is a food holiday to celebrate every day of the year!
It’s National Nut Day! Nuts are one of the healthiest, most nutritious, and most delicious snacks. Medical studies have shown that eating nuts reduces hypertension and the risks associated with heart disease. Nuts are also full of protein, fiber, and unsaturated fat.
Did you know that peanuts are not really nuts? They are legumes and belong to the bean family. Some popular types of nuts include pecans, walnuts, pistachios, almonds, and macadamia nuts.

You have such a great family, Ma. I am sure you are a great mother in law, mother, and grandmother to them all!

A beautiful family, indeed!
I've but one DIL, but Lois is an angel on earth. 'Pretty sure my son wouldn't be the man he is today, were it not for her gentle influence.
I had the best MIL ever! And she thought I was her 'best DIL' However at the time, I was her only one. I miss her (and her son) every day! Happy Mother In Law Day to you.
