ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR MONDAY, MAY 3RD, 2021
The moments 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.

Happy Birthday to you♥
Today is also Two Different Colored Shoes Day which is day to step outside the box and show your diversity.
Dr. Arlelne Kaiser created this day to recognize and celebrate human diversity. According to Dr. Kaiser, the simple act of wearing two different colored shoes proclaims your individuality. By taking the positive risk, you can demonstrate your willingness to be different, and show your appreciation for the unique people in your life.
Wearing two different colored shoes can be as simple as wearing a black shoe and a brown shoe, or as outrageous as wearing a flipflop and a boot. However you decide to express yourself, do so with pride.
This week is also Teacher Appreciation Week.
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Angels are like diamonds. They can’t be made, you have to find them. Each one is unique.
Jaclyn Smith
This granddaughter’s birthday is yet another of my long distance celebrations and I won’t be seeing her in person to celebrate. So I’ll light my birthday candle and send off birthday wishes full of love and congratulations.
I think we are all uniquely and wonderfully made. There are no two of us alike. Thank goodness we are not all the same and each of us is different in our own way.
I’ll be wearing my two different colored shoes today with pride. I’m thankful to be unique and different. I like being who I am. I don’t want to be like everyone else. We should be happy just to be who and what we are.
Monday’s mean it’s my day to cook up something new to eat here at my house and on the menu is:
Balsamic Roasted Vegetable Primavera
Makes 4 servings
4 carrots, sliced
2 medium zucchini, coarsely chopped
1 2/3 cup cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. minced fresh thyme or 1 tsp. dried thyme
2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
8 oz uncooked whole wheat rigatoni
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine carrots, zucchini, and tomatoes in a greased 15 by 10 by 1 inch baking pan. Whisk together nsxt 6 ingredients; Reserve half. Drizzle remaining balsamic mixture over vegetables; toss to coat. Bake until carrots are crisp tender, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook rigatoni according to package directions, drain. Toss with roasted vegetables, pan juices and reserved balsamic mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.
You could also use large tomatoes cut into chunks instead of the cherry tomatoes.
After a beautiful summer like day yesterday, we have rain here today and it’s cooling off once again. It looks like we’ll be in the 70’s for a couple of days an then back in the 50’s. Our roller coaster weather continues.
I hope you have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS

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

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!

Happy ☺ Birthday 🎂
You really are having roller coaster weather! I hope it will warm up again sooner rather than later. Happy Birthday to your sweet Angel. Enjoy that delicious dinner tonight. Happy Monday Ma, have a great week! :)
Your granddaughter is beautiful!!
50 days until Summer!! I am going to enjoy each one of these!
Happy Birthday to your pretty Angel! I don't think I'd have the nerve to wear separate pairs of shoes ... at least outside the house. (But you made me smile!) Tonight's dinner sounds really good! In the last year I've come to crave fresh veggies. And tho' I've only tried using a couple fresh herbs -- oh-my-word, what a difference it makes!
