ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

THURSDAY, JANUARY 23RD, 2025

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.

occasion!

Today is National Peanut Butter Day which honors one of the most popular snack foods, Peanut Butter.  The average person consumes more than 6 pounds of peanut products a year, making it a very popular food.

Peanut butter was invented by George Bayle, a St. Louis snack food maker. during the 1890’s.  For many years, manufactures struggled with the oil separating from the grainy solids of the peanut butter.  In 1923 Heinz became the first company to homogenize the peanuts into the  spreadable butter we know and love today.  

It takes 550 peanuts to make a 12 oz jar of peanut butter.  It is cholesterol free and an excellent source of peotein.  In fact, it’s the high protein content that causes peanut butter to stick to the roof of your mouth. 

Celebrate today and bake some, peanut butter cookies, spread some peanut butter on toast, or enjoy a spoonful right out of the jar!

If you cannot see the bright side polish the dull side 

THOUGHT  FOR TODAY

I have peanut butter on my toast quite often for breakfast.  It is one of those things that you can eat anytime of day.   I like peanut butter sandwiches for lunch and peanut butter cookies for dessert.  

I also spread peanut butter on celery sticks and dip apple slices in it for snacks.  It’a good and good for you too.

Today are temps are going up to 60 and it will be sunny out, but clouds are moving in tomorrow and Sunday we could see some rain. 

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC Friday!

COUNTING MY GIFTS

Snacking is important.  Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a great example  of a perfect snack.  They can go a long way
