ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR MONDAY,SEPTEMBER 16TH, 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 also National Quacamole Day which is a party snack made from avocados, which are packed with more than twenty vitamins, contain good fats that reduce cholesterol , can help fight cancer and can be used to substitute for butter or shortening in baking.
To celebrate today, you can purchase quacamole at your supermarket or buy some ripe avocados and make some of your own. They say that Cinco de Mayo, Forth of July , Super Bowl Sunday and Easter each account for approximately five percent of the annual avocado sales.
Happy National Quacaole Day!
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side .
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Life is kind of like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you and some show up really late. But in the end after the fun, there are a few who stay to help you clean up the mess.And most of the time, they aren’t even the ones who made the mess. Theses people are Your true friends in life. They are the only ones who matter.

This Daughter in law’s birthday is yet another of my long distance celebrations but as usual a card was sent out to wish her a very happy birthday! Distance means nothing when it comes to our loved ones. They are always close as my heart as it’s there I keep them always.
I do like guacamole so will have some to celebrate today. I keep it on hand in the fridge for snacking. I found that our Sam’s club has it in individual packets so it’s easily available and combined with some tortilla chips makes a tasty snack that is also good for you . And sometimes it is even what I’ll have for lunch.
I’ve never made my own but have had homemade and what i buy is a close copy.
I found a recipe to share in case you’d like to make your own.
Quacamole
Serves 4 to 6
6 avacoos, soft, but not mushy
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lime, cut in half
1 medium tomato, diced
1 onion, diced
salt to taste
chapped cilantro, optional
1 diced jalapeno or serrano pepper, optional
Cut avados in half, removing pit and spoon avocado into a mixing bowl. Add minced garlic and squeeze lime juice from one half of the lime into bowl of avocado. Mash the ingredients together to desired consistency using the back of a large spoon or a potato masher, some like it chunky, some like it smooth.
Fold in diced tomato and onion. a pimch of salt, and the juice from the remaining lime. Also add cilantro or peppers at this time.
Cover bowl and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes. Uncover and serve.
Quacamole can be used as a topping with tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas. However it is best with a bowl of warm tortilla chips.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!

Happy Birthday blessings to your DIL, Ma! What a beauty, isn't she?
Funny. I just returned from Wal-Mart where I stood, debating whether to buy an avocado to scoop and smash. Now I'm sorry I didn't.
Happy birthday to DDIL#4! Wonderful looking family she and her hubby have! Recently at a little party for my DIL's birthday, one of her friends made guacamole dip. It was so delicious! I do like how we can buy the individual servings otherwise we never get through a pint size container of it before it starts going bad.
betty
Happy ☺ Birthday 🎂
