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.

40 Days until Spring

Sunrise: 7:32 am

 Sunset: 5:53 pm

Life is a Special Occasion!

Today is Boy Scout Day which according to the Scout’s motto, is a day everyone should try to do a good turn.  The date goes back to the founding of the Scouts in America by William Dickson Boyce in 1910.  In Great Britain Lord Baden-Powell is called the father of the Boy Scouts.  There are now Scout organizations all over the world.

Scouts learn a lot about nature, sports, animals and have the claim to always be helpful and friendly.

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

We never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it.

Lord Baden-Powell

I think Scouting is a great organization.  My sons were Scouts and several of my grandsons too.  The pictures today are of DS#6 and his son who are the only ones in Scouting right now.  They were taken this past summer at their Boy Scout Camp.

I had a great time with our little X Factor yesterday at the grandparents breakfast at his school and will share a few pictures of that tomorrow.

It’s Friday, and I’m hoping to end this work week on a positive note by being thankful for what I was able to get done, and not think about what I didn’t get done.  Here’s a big thumbs up to your week!  Take a deep breath and try to think positive.

Friday night supper is going to be a Baby Spinach, Mushroom and Cheddar Cheese Frittata.  It’s a great way to use up any leftovers you might have on hand from the past week's dinners.  You can substitute what ever vegetables or cheese you might have in the fridge.  

Friday Night Frittata

1 onion, sliced

1/2 lb. mushrooms, quartered

8 large eggs, whisked

2 Tbsp. milk

4 oz. cheese, shredded

4 oz. baby spinach

Chop onions and mushrooms.  Whisk eggs and milk with some salt and pepper.  Stir in cheese.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Heat up skillet over medium heat.  Add cooking oil and then sauté onions about 5 minutes.  Next add mushrooms, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the spinach leaves and let the heat wilt them.  Pour in egg and cheese mixture.  Stir to mix everything together and put in oven.  Bake for about 20 minutes until knife comes out cleanly.

I use my iron skillet to make this as it’s the only one I have that is oven proof.

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

The most worth while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.

Robert Baden-Powell

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

6775. for the Boy Scouts of America, a great organization

6776. for a good week

6777. for leftovers, always 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

My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help others people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life - that is to be happy.

Robert Baden-Powell

A little smile, a word of cheer, 

A bit of love from someone dear…
