ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
TUESDAY, APRIL 26TH, 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 National Pretzel Day which celebrates a popular snack. Ptretzels were created by Catholic monks from the scraps of leftover dough. The unique knot shape represented the Holy Trinity, but the significance of this symbol has evolved over the course of history. During the 17th century pretzels symbolized the bond of marriage. This is where the phrase, tying the knot, originated. Today, traditional soft pretzels are popular at sporting, carnivals and festivals.
Hard pretzels are a fairly new invention compared to the original soft pretzels. According to legend, In the late 1600’s a Pennsylvania baker forgot a batch of pretzels in the oven . The over baked treats were dark and hard, but the baker sampled one anyway. He was pleasantly surprised by the crunchy deliciousness. Hard pretzels are now one of the popular snack foods.
To celebrate today, pick up a bag of your favorite type of pretzels to enjoy !
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I like both hard and soft pretzels. They are both delicious in their own way.. I have some hard pretzels on hand so I’ll be celebrating today. I like to dip them in sour cream and onion dip.
Today is another cold one and we have a frost advisory. It’s still too early to plant anything outside. They are saying we could even see snow tomorrow. I hope not.
I hope you all have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

A hot buttered soft pretzel is delicious !
I certainly did not know that about pretzels. THANKS. I was probably 17 yrs old before I ever heard of pretzels, but I have grown to really like them. ;-)
I love pretzels!!! I have some honey wheat pretzel sticks I dipped the ends in white chocolate bark! YUMMY!!!
But there's nothing better than a big soft hot pretzel with coarse salt and mustard to dip it in!!! I'M MAKING MYSELF HUNGRY!
