ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

FRIDAY, MARCH 28TH, 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.

Today is Eggsbit Day which celebrates exhibits of beautifully decorated eggs.  At the annual Eggsbit in Phillipsburg, N.J, judges from the National Egg Art Guild award prizes to the most beautiful  and the most humorous egg designs. 

People have been decorating eggs for centuries. One of the traditional forms of this ancient art is the wax resist method, which is popular in Eastern Europe. Artist use a stylus to create a design on the egg with melted beeswax before dipping it is dye.  The wax seals that section of the so it doesn’t absorb color. They adjust the wax and repeat the process with different colored dyes to create an intricate pattern.

To celebrate today, have an evening of decorating eggs.  Have fun!

THOUGHT  FOR TODAY

We always call these eggs Easter eggs.  We boil hard boiled eggs and let them cool and then decorate.  We have done the wax method but have only used one color dye. Never thought about the effect of more than one color.  Today’s pictures are one of my families decorated eggs.  Some very simple and others fancier.  We usually do them closer to Easter so we can enjoy them Easter Day.  A lot of people decorate empty shells and they can last a long time.  I used to purchase plain porcelain eggs and paint them for my family.  

Today I have another rehab class. Thankfully it is all indoors so I can get my exercise inside where it’s dry.  It’s supposed to be a little warmer with more rain and in the upper 70’s.  Yesterday was on the chilly side, in the 60’s.  

I hope you all have a GREAT day!  Happy Thursday!
