 ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FRIDAY, JUNE 3RD, 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.

Life is a special 

occasion!

Hallmark

Today is National Donut Day which celebrates a classic treat.  Donut Day began as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army in 1938.  It is celebrated annually on the first Friday of June and honors all the female volunteers who served donuts to soldiers behind the front lines during WWI. 

To celebrate this day, many eateries are handing out free donuts.  Krispy Kreme will be giving away a free donut to every customer this week. 

Donut customers will receive a free donut with any beverage purchase.  Be sure to check out your local donut shops for special promotions as well.

In honor of the day, pick up freshly baked donuts or buy a box to share with friends. Enjoy !

If you can't see the bright side, polish the dull side

 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

There isn’t a problem on this earth that a doughnut cannot make better. 

Roseanne Barr

Donuts are a favorite of mine.  I have one or two every day with my good cup of morning coffee.  I have a sweet tooth that I try to keep satisfied.  I start the day with coffee and donuts and then will eat a healthy breakfast later on about 10:00.  

On Fridays, I try to cook up a meatless meal, and sometimes use seafood but on the menu for today is:

Very Vanilla French Toast

1 cup milk

1 pkg. cook and serve vanilla pudding mix

1 large egg

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

8 slices Texas toast

2 tsp. butter

Optional: Fresh blueberries and confectioner’s sugar

In a large bowl, whisk the milk, pudding mix, egg and cinnamon for two minutes or until all blended.  Dip toast in pudding mixture, coating both sides.

In a cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat.  Cook bread on both sides until golden brown.  If desired serve with blue berries and sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar.

I love breakfast for dinner and have it often.  This makes several servings so I’ll be freezing half to have another time. 

We’re warming up in the 70’s today and it’s going to be sunny out.  Which is a very good thing as tomorrow is one of my grandson’s birthday parties and it will be held outside.

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS 

New mysteries. New day. Fresh doughnuts.

David Lynch 

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

 

10,303. for donuts to have with my coffee in the morning 

10,304. for breakfast for dinner, delicious 

10,305. for a sunny day in the 70’s

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

ADVICE FOR TODAY

As you ramble on through life, Brother, 

Whatever be your goal,

Keep your eye upon the doughnut,

And not upon the hole.

Margaret Atwood 

A little smile, a word of cheer, 

A bit of love from someone dear…

 

Love,
