ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH,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 National Cappuccino Day! This frothy coffee drink was created in the 1600’s. It got it’s name from an Italian order of monks known as the Capuchins, a group of friars that wore dark brown hoods, similar to the color of the drink.
Prepared with espresso, sugar, milk and a cap of foam, cappuccino is a customary way to jump start your day in Italy. In Western Europe, it’s just the opposite, cappuccino is most popular as an after dinner drink.
To celebrate, treat yourself to a kick of caffeine today !
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side

I do like Cappuccino and make mine the easy way by using a powdered mix that I get at the grocery store and add boiling water to it. But I did find a recipe so you can make you’re own if you’d like.
Homemade Cuppunicno Mix
1/2 c. instant coffeee
1 c. sugar
1 1/4 powdered milk or powdered non dairy creamer
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour into a jar or some kind of storage container. Add a few spoonfuls to a mug full of warm water. Stir until mixture is dissolved. This mix would also make a great gift to give. Just put it in a pretty jar and tie a bow on it.
Hot drinks are a must when the weather turns cold like it has here. I keep a few different ones including hot chocolate and apple cider, on hand but this is one of my favorites.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7576. for hot drinks that warm us up when it’s cold out
7577. for mixes that make do when you aren’t a barista
7578. for a new recipe to try out
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 ALL!

Coffee is a language in itself . There are so many kinds to enjoy! Today is Cappuccino !
Hubby has a cappuccino mix that he uses occasionally in his coffee. It does taste good when he mixes it in with his regular coffee. I agree with you, Ma. A warm drink on a cold day is a great thing to have!
betty
A warm drink on just about any day works for me... but it's tea 99% of the time. Coffee and I used to be verrrry good friends, but alas, we had to go out separate ways...
Gosh, I've not thought about cappuccino in ages. The only one I've enjoyed was (yes) in Italy years and years ago. Now that are temps are dropping into the 40's, I'm going to look for that mix!
