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 National Sticky Bun Day. Sticky buns, also known as cinnamon rolls are a delicious breakfast pastry made with leavened dough. Tradition recipes call for a glazed topping with pecans, maple syrup or hone, cinnamon and butter.
Glazed pastries have been popular ever since German settlers in Pennsylvania created our modern day sticky buns. They are still considered a Philadelphia specialty. Caution: Sticky Buns lead to sticky fingers...
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The February sunshine steeps your boughs and tints the buds and swells the lease within.
William C. Bryant
There is no doubt about it, I definitely have a sweet tooth and I purchased a box of delicious cinnamon rolls last week before I came down with the flu. They’ve actually stayed pretty fresh all sealed up in the box and are delicious when warmed up for a few minutes. They taste fresh from the oven.
They didn’t come from a fancy bakery but from the dollar store close by. It’s become my go to store when I need to pick something up in a hurry and don’t want to spend time in the grocery store. It’s located just around the corner from my house and in less than 5 minutes I can usually find some of life’s simple pleasures.
It’s doesn’t take much to make me happy !
I saw the cutest craft to make for counting down the Days Until Spring. You make a caterpillar with of chain of spring colored construction paper. Then remove a ring every day until Spring arrives. Cute and very easy. I’ll be saving this one for the next time some of the grands come over.
Although it is cooler and raining here this morning, it felt very much like Spring here yesterday with temps near 70 degrees. It’s been so long since we’ve been that warm, I almost forgot what it felt like. Heavenly, that is what !
I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want — oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so.
Mark Twain.
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5731. for Spring like weather
5732.for cinnamon rolls, delicious
5733. for the simple things that make life 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 isn’t what you have,
or who you are,
or what you are doing
that makes you happy or unhappy.
It’s what you think about !
Dale Carnegie
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma
You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought
Matthew 5:5 (MSG)

Good morning! I love the Dollar store, too! So easy to park in front and walk right in and get what you need. More and more I’m finding that the Dollar store has just about everything. I needed a hammer when I was visiting my mother in the nursing home so I could hand some photo frames. Dollar had a sturdy one for $5! I forgot my glasses a few weeks ago when Summer and I were out and about. Dollar had them!
Your cinnamon rolls do look delicious. I made a big pan of grits yesterday so I guess that’s what we will have for a late breakfast.
Louis Dean is up and in his easy chair watching the news and I am thrilled! Hopefully he will eat a little better today.
Wishing you a good Wednesday from Texas where it is in the 30’s and rainy. Not raining right now, just really wet!
I'm not much into sweets, which is a good thing since I'm diabetic now anyway, but... I must say those sticky buns look absolutely delicious. Perhaps because I know I can't have any, they look even better. *lol* Lovingly~ Andrea xxx PS~ Keep feeling better, little by little, everyday.
I just discovered the Dollar Store a couple of weeks ago! 'Not sure what I was expecting, but gee ... I had a great time filling my cart! :)
Hard to believe, but our temps have been in the 50's and 60's this week!
