ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

THURSDAY, MARCH 6TH, 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.

Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals

Today is National Oreo Cookie day which are delicious chocolate cookies with cream filling that we all know and love,   The Oreo sandwich is made by using powdered sugar, vanilla extract, water, granulated sugar and shortening.  

Americans have been enjoying Oreos for over a century, with the first being sold in March 1912 to a grocer in Hoboken, NJ.  The Oreo has since become the best selling cookie in the U.S.

There are tons of fun and unique flavors, a few examples being Birthday Cake, Cookie Dough, and Banana Split.

To celebrate today , pour yourself a cold glass of milk and indulge in some Oreo cookies!  Yum!

If you cannot see the bright side polish the dull side 

THOUGHT  FOR TODAY

There’s only one cookie with something in the middle that solves life’s problems, and that’s an Oreo.

This a reminder that Sunday, March 9th, the clocks will turn ahead one hour which means we’ll now have a hour longer of daylight in the evening before the sun sets.  I’m thankful the time on my phone sets its self and I don’t need to do anything.  Back in the day I had to change all the clocks in the house.  Now my Texas family has to do it.   I use my phone instead of a watch to see what time it is.  

Oreo cookies are something else I can no longer eat due to the sugar content.  But I do remember eating them and breaking them apart to eat the cream filling first.  The babes all loved them and they were a special treat from the homemade cookies I gave them.  I liked the original chocolate ones best and they were very good!

I got a text message yesterday letting me know that my appointment for rehab is today, March 6th at 3:15 pm.  I’m so thankful for the reminder.  I let my son know that too so I’d make it there at the right time.  They said today was supposed to be an assessment of my needs as far as my therapy went.  That shouldn't be too bad at all.

They say we could be very windy again and close to 80 degrees.  So I suppose that will only dry us out more than what we’ve been.  Not a good thing at all.  We could use more rain.  Looking ahead to the future forecast, there will be quite a few more 80 degree days with no rain.

My grandson had another track meet last night and was a star again, winning the three meter hurdles race.  I sure wish I had half his energy.  Sorry the pictures are not of Oreos.  I had none here to take pictures of. 

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

COUNTING MY GIFTS

People are like Oreos.  All the good stuff is on the inside.

Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for.  There is truly is always something to be thankful for.

13,188. for delicious Oreo cookies 

     13,189.  for alternative healthy desserts     

13,190. for exciting track meets

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