ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH,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.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Birthday Soup is good to eat, but not as good as Birthday Cake.
Else Holmelund Minarik
This DDIL's birthday is another of my long distance celebrations, but none the less a card was sent in the mail filled with love and best wishes for a very happy day. I’m so thankful to have her as a daughter and wish her only the happiest of birthdays.
Believe me when I say it’s the perfect day for chicken soup with this cold and wintry weather we are having. My soup isn’t homemade today but a packaged mix called Lipton Cup a Soup, which really isn’t bad at all and so easy to fix. Just put the mix in a cup and add boiling water and stir.It’s great when you don’t want to cook and still want a warm cup of soup. When I worked I used to take this to work for a warm lunch and it always hit the spot. No mess and no fuss. Quick and easy.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Soup puts the heart at ease calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day and awakes and refines the appetite.
Auguste Escoffier
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7588.for DDIL#1, it’s her birthday
7589. for instant cup of soup, easy peasy
7590.for chicken soup, true comfort food
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!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
That too many cooks spoil the soup may be true- but the single hand that garnishes a pot is neither determined by beauty nor ugliness.
Old Proverb
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

Wishing a very happy Birthday to my DDIL#1!
Happy ☺ Birthday 🎂
Happy birthday DDIL#1! Hope it is a nice day! Brr with the weather you guys have been having, Ma! I read on other blogs how much snow people have gotten across the country. Stay safe and warm indeed and truly a good way is to do it is with soup! That instant kind is great I keep some on hand to make up if I want a quick snack.
betty
Happy B-Day!!
My hubby wants me to make some soup, but I told him that the temp. has to drop below 80 deg before that happens. So. California. Sigh
MA, I am so glad I stopped by! I feel better for having read your blog. The odd thing is, I had chicken noodle soup for lunch today, I stopped by our Little Stranger Church soup social on my way to the hairdresser, made my donation, and back tracked to get my soup, roll and piece of cake. I had the best apple cake! By the time I got home from errands, I was starving (not good for diabetics) and that soup was the BEST. I saved half for my dinner tonight.
It was 21 out when I sat down to the soup.... we have actually made it up to 28, higher than was thought for the day. Winter has come too soon to northeast Kansas!
Happy Birthday to your pretty DIL #1! Oh, I love chicken soup -- whether homemade, from a can or one of those mixes. I even keep a wee bottle of low-sodium chicken-flavored bouillon. I LOVE the Chicken Soup for the Soul books!
