ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR THURSDAY, JANUARY 16TH,2020
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 Strawberry Ice Cream Day which according to a survey conducted by the International Ice
Cream Association is the the third most popular ice cream flavor, favored by 5.3 percent of the population.
Ice Cream is made from a mixture of cream, milk, sugar and eggs. While fruity flavors are popular amongst many,Vanilla and Chocolate are the clear favorites.
Dolly Madison even served strawberry Ice Cream at President Madison’s second inaugural Ball in 1813. In order to celebrate today, treat yourself to a delicious bowl or two of Strawberry Ice Cream!
Today is also National Hat Day, Humanitarian Day and National Bagel Day.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Life is like an ice cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.
Charles M. Schultz
I happened to get some strawberries at the store yesterday so my ice cream will be topped with strawberries today. I think ice cream is good when it’s topped with strawberry jam too! I always have vanilla ice cream on hand so I can easily choose what topping I want. Sometimes nothing will do be chocolate but today Strawberry sounds very good.
I thought that Christmas was over when I got home from Florida, but to my surprise, I got two more gifts in the mail since I’ve been home. DS#2 and his wife decided that I need my own walker and they sent one along with a cup holder to go with it. Now I have no excuse not to get some exercise. I have the help I need and intend to use it. Of course I’ll need some good weather in order to get outside and walk around here, but there is our mall just across the way from where I live, that provides an indoor space to walk no matter what the weather.
DDIL #5 sent me some pictures yesterday of the newest addition to their family, so I have a new grand puppy. Her picture is shown at the end of this post. She’s a beagle mix and is called Star.
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
It’s never too early for ice cream.
Michael Scott
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
7775. for strawberries and ice cream, a delicious combination
7776. for Christmas gifts that keep on coming
7777. for a new grand puppy, she’s so tiny
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!
Meet Star, the newest addition to DS#5’s family
ADVICE FOR TODAY
My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate.
Thornton Wilder
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

Ice cream is good anyway you fix it. Hope you have some today
Adorable pup! We, too, always keep a carton of vanilla ice cream in the freezer. Tom buys the frozen strawberries and thaws in the fridge so the consistency is 'just right' to spoon atop his ice cream.
PS - hatT walker's sure a great gift! Seeing lots and lots of them this morning at UAB.
What a cute puppy!! I think the walker is a great idea for stability, Ma! Will surely help prevent falling perhaps! I'm sure you will get good use out of it in the coming days! Always good to get gifts no matter what time of the year! Yum on the strawberries! I'm not a fan of ice cream in the "cold" winter days but do like it occasionally when it warms up here :)

Beautiful Star and lovely name. Hopefully, you are not crossing the road to get to the mall for your "smooth sailing" on their walkways. Just a slow-go either way. Stay safe and warm and hydrated now that you have a cup holder, haha.

A wonderful, thoughtful gift and cute puppy.
