ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 2ND, 2024

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

  Today is National Deviled Egg Day which is also called eggs mimosa.  The dish is a traditional favorite in both American and French cultures. Deviled eggs are made with hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard and seasoning, and can be served as side dish, appetizer or main course.

Deviled Eggs originated in ancient Rome , the term Deviled didn’t appear until the 18th century when it was used to describe highly seasoned food in general.  Today, not all deviled eggs are spicy, but a little cayenne pepper or hot mustard can always give them an extra kick. 

Celebrate today and make your favorite family recipe tonight!  Enjoy!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY 

There is no such thing as too many deviled eggs.

Jan Karon 

My family has always loved deviled eggs.  I often fix them as a side dish when I make family dinners. Mine are not spicy.  I use regular mustard in mine and don’t add spices. Although I do sprinkle them with paprika.    One time when my one my  granddaughter's came for dinner, she insisted on making some for dinner when she saw I hadn’t made them.  So before dinner was served, we had deviled eggs. 

This Saturday will be a quiet one.  My grandson no longer has a Saturday Basketball game to play.  I have a hair appointment for a cut at 9;30 am, which is something I badly need.  My daughter is taking advantage of few extra hours to get some house cleaning done. 

A friend of mine used to also serve them for an appetizer when she had us over for dinner.   Today I’m especially thankful for a nice comfortable home.  There is truly no place like home.

Yesterday when my family came home from work, we went out to vote.  It was early election time here. Tuesday, November 5th is the regular voting day. There was a long line stretching out in the parking lot when we got there so we had to wait in line for quite awhile.  Otherwise things went very smoothly.  

I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!

COUNTING MY BLESSINGS 

The world is full of hopeful anologies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities.

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