 ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29TH, 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 Hug Holiday which is a day to encourage people to hug those who need attention.  Especially elderly, sick or invalid and lonely people.   A hug is a form of physical intimacy at which two people put there arms around each other and hold each other closely, if more than two people are involved it is called a group hug.

It has been scientifically proven that hugs have positive effects o n health.  Studies have shown that hugging can result in reduced blood pressure and has a preventive effect against depression.  So today, go out and hug your loved ones!

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

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away!

Bil Keane 

I love to give ands to get hugs.  But living by my self I don’t get that many. I try to make up for it when I can.  Today’s picture are of some of family giving hugs.  When they are around, I do get plenty.

It’s my day to cook up something new again and I’m home now so I can make up a new menu for next week to do my shopping from.  

On the menu today is:

Italian Meatball Subs

24 frozen meatballs

24 oz. pasta sauce

4 slices Provolone cheese, cut in half

4 submarine buns

Fresh basil or lettuce for garnish, optional

Heat meatballs according to package directions.

In a large sauce pan, heat pasta sauce over medium high heat until warm.

Add cooked meatballs and let simmer until heated through 

Place 6 meatballs with sauce on an open roll, top with cheese slices, then place on baking sheet.

Broil sandwiches 2 to 3 minutes until cheese is melted and bread starts to brown. 

Top with lettuce or basil, optional.  Serve warm.

On the menu for next week is:

Monday-Ceasar Chicken Wraps

Wednesday- Texas Chili Fries

Friday- Veggie Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup 

Weekend-Saucy Mediterranean Chicken with Rice

My doctor’s report was very good.  He says everything is looking good.  But the news is not so good for my grand dog.  It looks like he may have some type of cancer but they gave him some medication that they are hoping helps him some. Only time will tell.  We are all praying for him.

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Almighty and eternal God,

Protect our military

with the shield of your strength,

may the power of your love

that with all who love them

they may ever praise you for your loving care.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

I’ve learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.
