We Are Called To Defend Our Lentil Fields...

Defend Your Lentil Field

But he stationed himself in the middle of the lentil field,

Defended it and killed the Philistines.

"So the Lord brought about a great Victory"

2 Samuel 23: 11-12

A parcel of ground that is full of lentils;

 Was it worth fighting for?

We are all given a resource and we must make it last!

Each pod has only two little lentils in it!

This lovely Bible story is a great Word picture for me.

This one thing is worth fighting for dear ones;

Because the lentil field is worth life or death!

What does the lentil fields symbolism in our lives today?

The lentil field is our estate

No matter how large or humble

Your HOME

Your Position

Your sphere of influence!

Our marriages

Our fruitful vines

(Children and Grandchildren)

Our Health

~Stand Your Ground~

Defend your field...

He expects you to defend what He has given you.

Why- So He is given a Victory and a good return out of the field,

He has given you charge of!

That Old serpent the devil drops in and slithers through our fields to cause,

Friction, contention, dissension and division, discontentment!

To destroy or devour our goods or our lives!

Give NO place to the devil Ephesians 4:27

Place means (foothold, opportunity)

We need to watch our emotions, hurt feelings, anger, resentment.

Take a stand and don't give up...

What the Lord has given you, take care of it...

We will one day give account for how we defended His property.

The Battle is tough; But He will give you strength!

Take up the weapons of our warfare...

The Word, Prayer...

A Man Needs A Godly Helpmeet...

Being a wife is an amazing ministry; It's not something

That is going to be easy, but it's also not that hard either!

I have not lost my own identity being a wife and a mother!

I have grown from being able to help keep things running smoothly.

I do believe as a new bride I was rather strong willed;

And definitely self-centered.

We learn very early in this modern world to seek your own good.

But God has a different plan if we will just realize He wants us to have Joy!

Learning to find delight and a sense of fulfillment of what you accomplish

is a good thing,

All these works to love our husbands and children will have eternal worth!

Every load of laundry, every kind word, everything you do!

Is a good thing...

Putting your husband first is something that can bring great peace!

And trust me it really only takes a small bit of time each day.

Our modern culture has made being a godly wife silly, or unnecessary.

But, A Home, with A Woman that desires to serve her Husband and Family

Will be a Rare Treasure...

Psalm 128:3-4

"Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine

by the sides of thy house"

"A man needs a godly help meet

for earthly felicity.

He that findeth a godly wife

findeth a good thing.

A wife keeps the home,

her chief faithfulness

is in the inner of the dwelling

which she adorns.

She keeps at the home

and so keeps the home.

Fantastic blessedness 

comes from the Lord,

and to Him alone we

must look for it.

The Lord's chosen 

find rest and quietness.

They shall have peace

from the God of peace."

Charles Spurgeon


Always Learning
Always Living From Glory To Glory

Fortified For The Day...

Some days you can just run out of steam!

Also, I can truly say that some women just seem to have so much energy;

Compared to me at least...

But A long time ago I had to learn to resolve the issue of thinking;

Why can't I do more?

But truly once I realized that the strength I have been given each day,

Is something I need to use wisely!

Learning to relax and enjoy the day as it sometimes just rolls out!

I like to start each new day with a cup of tea or coffee and Read the Word!

I enjoy writing in my journal so I always write something daily!

Even as I have gotten older I am even reading some scripture

Before I go to bed in the evenings.

If you can do only one thing each day; make it count!

 Baking or cooking yields high dividends.

Once again it is summer here; and so I will use my crock pot!

If I am going to bake I always do that very early in the morning!

When its winter time its no big deal to turn on the oven and heat up the house

 and fill it with an aroma of freshly beaked bread or cookies.

Wisdom to know what you can and can not do is very important!

I am not saying we should never push ourselves;

But not straining that causes discomfort and unable to do your

housework or things you love the next day!

I always like to treat myself with some rich and delicious chocolate!

Keeping a little stash of the sweet stuff works well for my needs!

I no longer want to spend my energy complain about what I can't do and just

Enjoy each portion that I can do!

When you walk into your home after being gone all day,

Can you just feel and sense that this place is called Home 

Because your heart is there?

Make each day a day of rejoicing!

Give Thanks!

Don't be robbed of the pleasures of each day given to you!

Love your Home and it will bring you comfort and Joy...

Happy Day,

Always Love, Roxy

Singing In The Fire...

Singing in the Fire...

We have all heard the phrase singing in the rain;

As sweet and enduring that little phrase is,

The reality is that as we live and walk this earth till our journey ends;

We must learn to sing in the Fire...

It's so easy to sing when all is calm and the sun is shining!

It's easy to sing when everything is right in your world!

Is is easy to sing when you know the words;

But sometimes, we will not know the words or understand the circumstances,

We must sing from our hearts without knowing the harmony at times.

Good Morning

Good Day

Goodbye

Welcome

Anyone of us may be in a different place in our days...

Our lives truly are very brief...

I now know how easy it is to slip over to the other side;

I could of died resulting from a bowel obstruction this last past week!

I guess I can now truly say "you can die from constipation"

I was very sick and I truly can say I was Blindsided!

I was in the hospital for a week.

It seems these are they very things that teach us to sing;

While in the Fire of pain, weakness, and sickness!

I can look back and can say that any trial, whether physical or emotional

Can teach us many things!

In our lives, we suddenly can be overcome from a sickness!

These things just happen as we all are living in a sin fallen world.

But, what I hope to get across today is even though these things

Can and Will happen, how can we walk through these trials?

Learn from your experience!

Try not to be fearful

Pray that you do not become bitter!

Realize everything takes time!

Everything will change!

We must never allow these trials to define us!

Every trial will have a new song, you must learn to sing!

Outside my bedroom window is a bird that sings all night long!

Even when there is no moon, even when the wind blows!

I am grateful to be alive!

I made Sunday dinner yesterday,

(Easy Beef Stew in the Crockpot)

My Son said Mother, your not making Sunday dinner are you?

And I said well I'm not dead yet!!

I so appreciate all your sweet 

Get Well Wishes on my last Blog Post;

You are all very kind and I did feel so many prayers

Lifting me UP...

Much Love;

Truly Living From Glory To Glory

And Learning To Sing In The Fire...

Hugs, Roxy
