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.
Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals
Life is a special occasion!
Today is National French Fries Day which celebrates a classic fast food treat and the perfect Hamburger paring. There are dozens of ways to enjoy french fries - Cajun style, sweet potato, crinkle cut, curley, waffle or covered in chili and cheese.
The exact origin of French fries is unknown, however one theory suggests that they date back to Belgium in the 17 century. The inhabitants of the region cooked small fried fish to accompany their meals. When weather conditions made it to dangerous to go fishing, they cut up potatoes in long thin strips to resemble the fish and fried them.
To they are now a popular side dish across the globe.
To celebrate today, simply enjoy some french fries. You can buy them or make them the way you like.
To see the bright side, polish the dull side
Unbelievable as it may seem, one third of all vegetables consumed in the United States come from just 3 sources: french fries, potato chips and iceberg lettuce.

I do love French Fries but cannot have but only a few now and then. They produce carbs and carbs produce sugar. So I try to only have a few once in a while.
I love them just about anyway you can fix them. And I agree they are the perfect paring with a hamburger. They certainly go well together.
Today looks to be another repeat of the weather, cloudy and humid. We did get a few light showers yesterday, but not the whole day. DSIL has been working on building a deck for the pool and part of the flooring is now in. He is hoping to finish up today. This evening they are going out for a little celebration of their anniversary and I will be staying home with my grandson.
I haven’t been able to start my new prescription as it’s on back order at my pharmacy. They suggested I call my doctor and see if he wants to suggest something else for me to take. I’ll be doing that first thing Monday morning.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
The most mouth watering combination in the world is French fries and ketchup.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
12,497. for delicious French Fries
12,498. for a heads up call from the pharmacy
12,499. for a new pool deck which is pretty big and will make for easy access to the pool.
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
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
Surround yourself with people who are like the ketchup to your french fries- they make you a better version of yourself. Yes french fries are amazing on their own, but combined with ketchup they are a force. Spend time with people that bring out your true flavors, but don’t overpower you.

Enjoy some delicious French fried potatoes today and don't forget the ketchup!
Good afternoon.
I like French fries too but can't eat too many of them either.
Hope you can find some medicine on Monday.
