For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:16

 Military Honors

KOREAN WAR VETERANS ARMISTICE DAY commemorates the end of the Korean War and honors all of it’s veterans.  For those who went off to a foreign country to serve their own, to offer their lives, and to leave their loved ones – we can’t thank you enough for your faithful service.

Family and Friends…

 It is all about family today with NATIONAL PARENTS DAY.   Anyone who is a parent of any kind (kid or pet) can take a bow today.  You don’t get to take a break from being a parent, but would you really want to?  I am thinking of my amazing parents.  They have both passed on, but I couldn’t have asked for better. Here’s to you, Mom and Dad, until we meet again.

Celebrate People with…

Rosie and Sunny Aiello founded LOVE IS KIND DAY to remind us that real love is not abusive or controlling, but caring and self-sacrificial.  They themselves broke free from an abusive relationship and are here to say that no one should ever be put in that position.  If you find yourself being abused in any way, seek help – you are worth it.

For Fun

TAKE YOUR PANTS FOR A WALK DAY encourages us to get outdoors and go for a walk.  It’s healthy, invigorating and gets some of that natural vitamin D in ya – and yes – you have to wear pants – or at least shorts.

If you want to take your stroll to a whole new level there is always WALK ON STILTS DAY.  It sounds like it could be fun – just watch out for low flying birds and low hanging wires.

Belly up to the Bar

Let’s raise a glass to NATIONAL SCOTCH DAY.  Real Scotch must be made in Scotland, come out of oak barrels that have been aged for not less than three years and have an alcoholic content more than 40%.

On Today’s Menu…

Raising Canes founded NATIONAL CHICKEN FINGER DAY back in 2010.  It sounds like a good day to sample some of these savory snacks that are quite tasty.  Dip ‘em in your favorite sauce and dig in.

Our dessert of the day calls for a blow torch.  NATIONAL CRÈME BRULEE DAY celebrates the custard with the sugary top that is heated to perfection.  It’s a nice light dessert that is heavy on flavor.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINCE!!

Quote of the day – “Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered, it keeps not record of wrongs…love never fails.”  1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Enjoy the day and make it your own
