ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
SATURDAY, MAY 14TH, 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.

May the dear Lord bless you both today and always.
Today is also Dance Like a Chicken Day which celebrates a popular wedding and party dance.
Werner Thomas a Swiss accordion player, wrote the basic melody for the Chicken Dance song in the late 1950’s. In 1963 he began performing it at his restaurant. The people who bravely stood up and danced along often used the sporadic movements that reminded Thomas of ducks.and chickens. By the time the dance arrived in American in the 1970’s it had transformed into a set of movements with repeated beak, wing, and tail movements.
Today the Chicken Dance has earned a fond place in the playlist of cheesy party dance songs. Other favorites include the Hokey Pokey, the Electric Slide, and the Macarena.
To celebrate today, turn on this familiar tune and dance like a chicken!
If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The best thing to hold on to in life is each other.
Audrey Hepburn
As usual this son’s anniversary is listed among my long distance celebrations. I’m going to be sending out a card in the mail filled with anniversary wishes and love.
Today I’ve got a pretty quiet day ahead and my grandson will be going to spend the night with one of his cousins. I love being able to spend time with him so he wlll be missed. Good thing I still have the dogs for company. I’m going to miss them all when I go home.
Yesterday I found out that my granddaughter, Our Sweetheart, is in ICU at the hospital and they are doing testing to discover what is wrong. Please join me in prayer for her that they will discover what is wrong and be able to fix it.
Since I’m on my own most of today, I’m going to have a salad and a sandwich for dinner tonight. I’m keeping it very simple.
Air Fryer Chicken Patties
frozen breaded chicken patties
slices of lettuce and tomato
slices of cheese to melt on the cooked patty
Buns or sourdough bread, whichever you prefer
Add as many patties as needed for the meal. Be careful not to crowd the air fryer as it will reduce the airflow and the patties won’t be as crispy.
Set the temperature to 390 degrees and the time to 8 minutes.
After they are heated, begin assembling sandwich. I prefer a hamburger bun with the patty, a melted slice of cheese, a thick sliced tomato, pickles, lettuce and mayo.
With a quick macaroni salad, this will make the perfect lunch or dinner.
Super Easy and Cheesy Macaroni Salad
Boil pasta in salted water and drain. Follow the directions on the package. While the pasta is boiling, chop bell pepper and onion and transfer to a large bowl. Add some lemon juice, stir and let sit while pasta cooks.
Transfer the drained pasta into the bowl containing the onion and bell pepper and stir together.
Add mayo and ranch dressing and combine. Once incorporated, stir in grated cheddar cheese. Add a pinch of salt if needed and combine . Serve either warm or cold. Both are delicious.
I’ll be making 2 sandwiches so I can have one for lunch tomorrow too.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Marriage is and act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift, which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls, when whole they make up a sole family - a domestic church.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
10,243. For DS#2 and his wife, it’s their anniversary
10,244. for a quick and easy dinner
10,245. for this special time to spend with my grandson and grand dogs .
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!

It was supposed to be a rainy day here, but so far this morning it is beautiful outside .
Oh no, about your Sweetheart! Of course, I'm lifting prayers for a swift diagnosis and recovery. We love chicken but have never tried those patties. Sounds good, and simple, too!
Happy :) Anniversary
