ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23RD,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 Eat a Cranberry Day which is considered an important part of every Turkey based holiday, whether that may be Thanksgiving or Christmas. Cranberry sauce is regarded as an indispensibe part of traditional Thanksgiving menues
To celebrate eat a cranberry or drink it. No one will fault you if you prefer the tart flavor of cranberry in beverage form. Cranberry juice happens to mix delightfully with some of the more traditional sweet fruits. It provides countless health benefits and a tartness that is the perfect complement to the sweetness of fruits like pear, apple and grape.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don’t unravel.

As it’s our family Thanksgiving today we’ll be enjoying some cranberries. We make a punch called Frothy Slosh for the holidays with cranapple juice, ginger ale and sherbet. When you add sherbet to the liquid it makes it froth up and that is why it is called frothy slosh. And I’ll be having some today as DS#6 has it on the menu for our family Thanksgiving dinner. It’s become a family tradition for us. We will also have some cranberry sauce, not homemake but from a can. We started having it as DS#2 was allergic to the kind that was homemade. He’d brake out in hives, if he ate any thick skinned berry like blue berries or cranberries. But the canned variety was ok .
They say we may have some rain today, but probably not until later in the afternoon. There is even a chance that the rain could change to to snow showers by evening so the roads could get slippery. Take good care everyone and stay safe.
One way or another it’s going to be a great day. No doubt we’ll be making our own sunshine! Today’s pictures are of the place we will be at today. We were there for Christmas a couple years ago, not Thanksgiving, and this year we’ll be there again. It’s a pretty building and beautiful setting in a park .
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!

From my family to yours -- Happy Thanksgiving !
Happy early Thanksgiving, Ma! Your family celebration sounds wonderful, indeed. You know, I claim to love Winter best, but at this stage of my life I'm leery of driving in icy rain and snow. Will say a prayer for everyone's safe travels … and look forward to 'seeing' your smiling face on line tomorrow morning!
Happy ☺ Family Thanksgiving 🍁
Have a great family Thanksgiving today, Ma! I did see that Sprite has a seasonal drink with cranberry juice in it. I might have to try a can of it during this time of year!
