ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FRIDAY,MARCH 4TH, 2022
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 March Forth which is an unofficial holiday celebrated on March 4th to encourages everyone to work towards achieving their dreams. It aims to provide an opportunity for people to take calculated risks toward achieving there goals and developing themselves. It is a special day to take a stand against Procrastination or the faux reasons that tend to creep into our heads and discourage us from even trying. The name was made up as a homophone of the day March Fourth. It is also the shortened version of the full name — March Forth and Do Something Day.
To celebrate today, keep marching forward and get you goals done. We are to go forward not backward today !
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
March! March! March! They are coming
In troops to the tune of the wind,
Redheaded woodpeckers drumming,
Gold - crested thrushes behind;
Sparrows in brown jackets, hopping
Past every gateway and door;
Finches with crimson caps, stopping
Just where they stopped before.
March! March! March! They are slipping
Into their places at last…
Literature white lily buds, dripping
Under the shower that fall fast;
Butter cups, violets, roses;
Snow drop and bluebell and pink,
Throng upon throng of sweet posies
Bending the dew drops to drink.
March! March! March! They will hurry
Forth at the wild bugle sound,
Blossoms and birds in a flurry,
Fluttering all over the ground.
Shake out your flags, birch and willow!
Shake out your red tassels, larch!
Grass blades, up from your earth -
pillow.
Hear is calling you . . . March.

I try to keep marching forward every day. I don’t give up and keep on trying. Sometimes I get discouraged, but try to always pick myself up and keep going forward.
March is my birthday month and I’m going to try celebrating every day, which is something I try to do anyway. I’m definitely getting older and now live life in the slow lane, but always move forward, not backward. Just a little slower each day it seems.
Today is my day to cook something new and on the menu for today is:
Avocado Egg Salad Sandwiches
Makes 2 servings
1/2 ripe avocado
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp avocado oil
3 hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1 Tbsp, snipped fresh chives
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 slices whole wheat sandwich bread, toasted
2 leaves lettuce
Scoop the flesh from avocado helf into a medium bowl. Add lemon juice and oil. Mash until smooth. Add chopped eggs, celery, chives, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Top each with a piece of lettuce and another slice of toast.
Sadly, I don’t have any avocados here, so I’ll be using mayo instead. The avocado would be healthier.
Today we’re to be about 40 degrees, but on the Bright Side tomorrow we are to be in the 60’s. Spring will get here but we haven’t sprung forward yet. Soon though we’ll move ahead one hour and gain another hour of daylight in the morning.
I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
The year’s at the spring
And day’s at the morn;
Mornings at seven;
The hillsides dew pearled;
The larks on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God's in His heaven -
All’s right with the world!
Robert Browning
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
10,036. For warmer days ushering in Spring
10,037.for the march forward every day
10,038.for more daylight every day
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 EMT’s.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
The March wind roars
Like a lion in the sky,
And makes us shiver
As he passes by.
When winds are soft, And the days are warm and clear,
Just like a gentle lamb.
Then Spring is here.

March forward every day !
It is hard to believe spring is that close, but glad it is. We have never had avocado/egg salad sandwiches, but sure sounds good. WE enjoy the family shots.
YES prayers for our leaders, our troops and those in harm's way..

I'm such a fan of egg salad! Avocados, too, but never thought about combining them. Like you, I think I'd opt for mayo. Last time I checked, avocado oil was far more expensive than what I normally buy.
Spring has unofficially arrived in central Alabama -- it was 81* today.
