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 National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day which honors one of the most popular comfort foods in the world. Grilled cheese sandwiches are usually made using 2 slices of white bread with a slice of American cheese in the middle. American cheese is popular because it melts easier. Then the outsides of the sandwich are grilled until the bread is browned and the cheese is melted. There are many varieties of this sandwich and I found a recipe to share for one of them today.
Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich
2 slices sourdough bread
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 slice American cheese
1 slice Cheddar cheese
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle Parmesan onto buttered sides. Place one slice butter side down in skillet, and place a slice of American cheese and a a slice of Cheddar cheese on it. Top with remain slice of bread, butter side up. Fry until golden brown on each side.
It’s a great day to enjoy a grilled cheese cooked your favorite way and served with a side of of tomato soup.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
You’re special, you’re AWESOME, your one of a kind. Best of all dear Grandchild, you are mine for all time!

#1 is my very first granddaughter. The oldest of all my grandchildren. That’s why I’ve nicknamed her #1. Her’s is another long distance birthday and sadly I don’t have any recent pictures of her, but a card was sent off in the mail with the best of wishes for a very Happy Day!
Today would have also been my Mom’s birthday had she lived. They share the same birthday. Gone but never forgotten. She’s very close to my heart where we keep those that we love. I have shown a picture below of her with my dad and me when I was very little. It was taken at my grandparents house years and years ago.
It’s my day here to get out and run some errands and also get a hair cut. They say we could get some rain, but it is warmer. I have a nice Spring raincoat to wear that’s been hanging in the closet, just waiting for a day like this !
I also have a new pair of rain boots that I bought specifically for working out in the yard. It could be that tomorrow they will finally get some use. That’s what you see in the picture above.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
5881. For #1, it’s her birthday today
5882. for my Mom, gone but never forgotten
5883. for a rain coat and boots
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!

What a sweet image of 'little you' and your parents ..... a handsome couple, for sure! I hope she was still living when your #1 arrived; that had to have been a blessing!
One of my most enduring images of mother is her standing at the kitchen stove, preparing herself a favorite grilled cheese sandwich.
Those rain boots! Love the black and white, and that pink buckle is precious ... guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face.
