ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR MONDAY, MAY 25TH, 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 also Memorial Day which honors and commemorates all the men and women who have died while serving our country.
Memorial Day was originally founded to honor the soldiers who gave their lives in the Civil War but it has been expanded to include all wars involving US military. It has been recognized as a federal holiday since 1971.
Traditional Memorial Day observations include visiting cemeteries and memorials as well as attending parades and dedications. A National Moment of Remembrance occurs at 3 p.m. local time across the nation. Check out yuur local media for virtual events going on in your community to honor our fallen soldiers
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer. Be sure to break out the grill for a Memorial Day cookout. Have a Happy Memorial Day weekend.
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
America will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
Elmer Davs
This grandson usually has a big party for his birthday, but since we are all safe distancing to keep each other safe and healthy. his parents decided to have family drop by at different times today to keep it to a small group of people. I’m not sure what time I’ll be going out, but hope to be able to spend some time with him. Yay! finally a birthday I can actually spend together with someone! No long distance celebration today only 6 feet apart !
Since I don’t have an outdoor grill, I’ll be breaking out the George Foreman grill and doing hotdogs and hamburgers for my first cookout of the season. I have some chips on hand to go with them. Nothing fancy here. I do have my red white and blue paper plates to serve it all on so it looks a little festive!
I can only do the best I can with what I’ve got and I’ve got some eggs to boil up and devil too. No cookout is complete without them.
Classic Deviled Eggs
8 eggs
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tbsp. yellow mustard
1/8 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
paprika for garnish
Place eggs in a single layer in a sauce pan and cover with water 1 1/2 inches above the eggs. Heat on high until water begins to boil, then cover, and turn the heat to low and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and leaved covered for 14 minus, then rinse under cold water for 1 minute.
Crack egg shells and carefully rinse under cool running water. Gently dry with paper towels. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise removing yolks to a medium bowl and place the whites on a serving platter. Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. Add mayo, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper and mix well.
Evenly dispense heaping teaspoons of the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
Thankfully I had both hotdogs and hamburgers in the freezer and will thaw them out and cook up for dinner to have along with my deviled eggs. My freezer isn’t very big, but I’ve got it well stocked.
Time was when we’d all have a cook out together, but this memorial day will be different. We’ll see what happens !
The pictures today are from last years party.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday!Happy Memorial Day!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The willingness of Anerican’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned then our lasting gratitude.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
8135.for all those that have died for our freedom
8136.for our Xfactor it’s his birthday today
8137. for a partly sunny day, hit or miss with the rain
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
Freedom makes huge requirements of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility.
Eleanor Roosevelt.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…

It's a double celebration for me today. Happy Memorial Day and a Happy Birthday !
Happy Birthday to your XFactor!!! Getting to be with he and his parents in person is sure something to celebrate!
Your red/white/blue place setting looks great! I love deviled eggs, but have never tried making them. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
Happy birthday to X Factor! I love how his parents thought to celebrate his birthday today and I know you will look forward to seeing them and spending time with them!
I think a lot of people are thinking picnics or grilling today as at the store this past weekend we saw lots of picnic supplies in people's shopping carts.
