ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14TH, 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.

Life is a special occasion!

Today is National Dessert Day which celebrates the perfect day to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Although desserts are typically eaten after a meal they can and should be enjoyed at any time. The term desert was first used in the mid 1500’s in France and originates from the word desservir, which means to remove what has been served.
Desserts grew in popularity after the advent of the international sugar trading. Once sugar arrived in Europe in the 12th century, more desserts were slowly introduced. In fact, the first written apple pie recipe can be traced back to 1381. The industrial Revolution also furthered the popularity of dessert as mass production introduced new processing, preservation and packaging methods.
Whether it’s cookies, pie or a cupcake, be sure to treat yourself to something special today in order to celebrate!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There is no better way to bring people together than with desserts.
Gail Simmons
I have a sweet tooth so I’ll definitely be celebrating today. I have some Pumpkin Cheesecake cookies on hand that will do just fine!
Really anything pumpkin would do. There is pie, pumpkin bread and cookies too.
The pictures today are from my Dessert Party a couple of years ago. Everyone brought a dessert to share and we had a delicious time of it all.
They say we may hit 80 degrees today but it’s supposed to be cloudy, so it won’t be as bad as it could be. Hopefully I won’t have to turn the a/c on. We’ll see.
I hope you all have a GREAT day! Happy Thursday!

Enjoy a dessert today and celebrate !
Those pumpkin cheesecake cookies sound wonderful! I've not (knowingly) had any sugar since June 1, but will observe Dessert Day tonight with a wedge of my favorite Bellavitano cheese.
