ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR TUESDAY,AUGUST 27TH, 2019
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 Just Because Day which is a day to do something without rhyme or reason.Often we do something because we have to, or we want to, or it’s expected of you but none of those apply today.
If you’ve ever wanted to act on a strong impulse but with out any logical motivation or explanation to do so, normally you still don’t. But don’t let that stop you today. You could start with the first things that goes to your mind. Maybe you think about buying something without a need or think about walking backwards or throw softballs on the fence. Just feel free too da that just because.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side .
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I love you just because…
I really do do a lot of things just because I feel like it here at my house. It’s one of the nice things about living on my own. No one really cares what I do except me, of course. I happened to mention that I wasn’t feeling up to par a few weeks ago and it’s nice to know there were those that cared at all. My DD and DS#5 have been checking up on me more often to make sure I’m doing ok and it’s nice to know they care. But like I said it’s not often that anyone cares about what I do.
I’m pretty much on my own here and often do things just because.
Just because I only used 1/2 the head of cabbage that I have in the fridge, I still have the other half to use up and will do that today by making up a pan full of Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole It’s easy and quick and very good too. Cabbage is one of those vegetables that is good and good for you too.Cabbage is high in fiber and contains powerful antioxidants that protect against heart disease certain cancers and vision loss. . . It’s is especially high in vitamins C and beta carotene and low in fat.
Unstuffed Cabbabe Casserole
1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1c. tomato sauce
1 can tomato soup.
2 tbsp. tomato paste
28 pz can diced tomatoes with liquid
1 tsp. dried dill
3 tbsp. parley
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper to taste
2 1/2 c.cooked rice
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 head of cabbage chopped , appoximately 8 c.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 by 13 inch pan. Brown ground beef, onion and garlic until no pink remains. Drain any fat. Add tomato sauce, tomato soup, canned tomatoes an tomato paste, dill, parsley and bay leaf. Simmer covered about 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf and stir in rice.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat . Add cabbage and cook until tender crisp. Place half of cabbage in prepared pan. Top with half the beef rice mixture. Repeat layers ending with beef and rice mixture. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until hot and bubbly. I did mine all in one pot on the stove. Even cooked the rice in the tomato juices by simmering it on low.
It’s my day to plan my week and makes my to do lists and groceriy list. I have to have some kind of plan or nothing much will get done. Today’s pictures really have no ryhme or reason, but just because they make me happy.
Most of all, I love you just the way you are!
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday! Just Because!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The first thing I do every day when I wake up is thank God for letting e make it through the night and giving me another day of life, just because I sometimes wake up and I cannot believe I’m doing what I’m doing I jut thank Him. I don’t know how I deserve it but it’s completely because of Him.
Lauren Alaina
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7375.for those that care, just because
7376. for leftover cabbage, good and good for you too
7377. for a day to make lists and plan my week
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
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!

Teke a chance, do something just because, you never know what might happen !
Love it when you post things in your home, they always make me smile. Like you, I am able to have many days to do as I wish but do try to accomplish a few things along the way, however, I don't make a to do list.
You had great pictures you shared with us today of your happiness, Ma! Especially your handsome grandson! It is nice to have people check up on us, seems like you have a great support system. I do like that recipe for the cabbage. I think its going on my winter to make list when I run the oven again.

Like you, since retirement (almost) every day is a 'just because' day! So blessed, too, that my son and family are nearby!
Thanks for sharing that recipe. Sounds perfect for a cold winter eve.
