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 National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day. Nestle Raisinets are one of the most popular candies for movie goers. People can’t seem to get enough of the delicious fruit and dark chocolate combination.
Raisins were first discovered when people found grapes drying on the vines. These sun dried morsels soon became one of the most popular food sweetness, second only to honey. Raisins are an excellent source of fiber, potassium, iron, calcium and certain B vitamins. Add some dark chocolate to the mix and you get a healthy dose of antioxidants and important minerals.
Raisins are sunshine and sweetness !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The nectar of life is sweet only when shared with others.
Adam Mickiewicz
Raisins and chocolate are a great combination and both are good for you too. Chocolate covered raisins are considered party food in my family. I would often get them for special occasions. I didn’t get them for the party today but I did get some chocolate covered nuts to share. They are another party favorite.
I’ll be on the road almost as much as I’ll be celebrating today. DS#5 and family will be giving me a ride to our Family Easter celebration. DDIL# 1 and her family are our hosts this year and it’s not a short ride, but one that is well worth it when you consider being able to be together with family.
As always, not everyone will be there, but I’m thankful for those than can make it. Time and distance prevents some from coming, and they will missed. Today’s pictures are from last year’s Easter gathering. The Easter egg hunt was enjoyed by all.
Due to the fact that I’m so much slower than I used to be it has taken a good weeks worth of preparation for today. Thankfully the weather has cooperated and we’ll have clear roads for traveling.
Still I would appreciate your prayers for safe travels for my family as we gather together.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Of all nature’s gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
