Cooking and Baking And Cleaning For Jesus...
~Strawberry Jam~
Little Things Can Change The Home...
Discouragement is a tool of the devil...
Keeping your kitchen, cozy, clean and smelling delicious;
Is a ministry to yourself and others!
Keep the stove HOT!
I see many women who are not growing in their journey.
Our homes and relationships are not functioning very well!
There has been such emotional stress in these last few years.
Many have become weary and tired and a bit bored.
May I say this to you today as I have just experienced this myself.
We must take stock of where we are and why!
We must find our happy place that is filled with purpose and joy.
Self reflection can be very healthy as long as we don't look
at just the negative stuff.
We are always having to push and revamp our hearts and homes.
We can even get discouraged just being on all the social media.
Why?
Because we are all different and in different seasons of life.
You must take each day and do something inspiring or creative.
We must show kindness and affection!
I am getting up a little earlier to do my Bible Study and prayer.
And making a plan to do something within my home!
I plan to change out my tablecloth in the kitchen!
I have been in the process of making up a sourdough starter this last week.
It has been interesting watching videos and talking to others about it.
It smells wonderful, I plan on making some pancakes for breakfast today.
Also want to try my hand at some English muffins.
Make an easy meal for dinner tonight!
Make your meals with simple ingredients.
I hope to share a few things I am doing around the Estate.
This is the home God gave me!
May I glorify God in what I set my hand to!
I am tired of allowing the ungodly to dictate my life or joy I feel.
Everything we do has value when we do it with the right attitude and heart!
Lord Of All Pots And Pans
Lord of all pots and pans and things,Since I have no time to be
A Saint by doing lovely things
Or watch late with Thee,
Or dreaming in the dawnlight
Or storming heavens gates,
Make me a saint by getting meals
And washing up the plates.
Thou who didst love to give men food
In room or by the sea,
Accept this service that I do--
I do it unto Thee.

Cooking and cleaning unto the Lord...
Blessings To Each Of You Sweet Sisters!!

Something that brings you peace and contentment!
Hugs, Roxy

Be Purposeful In All You Set Your Hand To...
Silver Tea Pot And Fake Flowers
Life really is a contrast...
Someone took some sterling silver and crafted it into a beautiful,
Purposeful teapot.
Now, I truly can say that the last time this teapot was actually used
For a social tea party was YEARS ago!
Some things do seem to not have the same usefulness.
But yet there is still beauty in them!
It takes true craftsmanship and time to produce a silver teapot.
There was a day a Lady of the Home would of
Aspired to owning one of these.
Maybe it may have been a wedding gift!
When was the last time you saw or heard of a bride
Asking for a silver teapot as a wedding gift?
My point is this;
As homemakers we don't need a silver tea pot to
Create a beautiful and useful home.
We have so many items in our homes that are not
Either functional or being used.
But we can choose to think outside the box and create
a pretty vocal point with these items.
One little thing we can use in our homes are some
Fake flowers.
If you keep an eye out you can find some
Very true to life looking ones.
When they get dusty I just wash them
in some soapy water and they come out looking great.
I enjoy having these artificial flowers for different seasons of the year.
Roses, Sunflowers, Peonies, Lavender.
I keep the ones I am not using stored away, and can freshen up
any room with some pretty flowers.
I believe we are all a bit weary with everything this
Old world had thrown at us ladies.
It has harassed us and caused strife and grief!
But we just keep Plodding On...
Why?
Because it's never been easy being a homemaker!
We swim against the grain of society.
We are deemed Old Fashion and Out of touch!
But I believe we have a life long usefulness and purpose!
When times get truly tough, it will be those that learned
To create a sanctuary for the family.
And learned to cook frugal meals out of nothing
Will be more than able to overcome!
Don't be fooled!
Don't be overcome!
Don't give up!
Don't get rid of anything that still has usefulness!
Don't have and empty pantry!
Concentrate on what is needed in your Home!
Make Lists of everything you need to start doing!
Don't be unprepared...
Sending you all a hug and a word of encouragement!
XOXO Roxy
