This Little Light Of Mine, I'm Gonna Let It Shine...

 This Little Light Of Mine,

I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine...

Sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the darkness in this world.

But, when it's really dark even the little light becomes brighter!

Choose to be the light!

Because we are called to lead others.

If you know the truth, you don't want to stand back and allow

Someone to fall into the dark abyss.

I'm not an evangelist or preacher,

But I am a woman after God's own heart...

"So mostly I share the gospel through my lifestyle

My character

Being faithful in the small things

Help where I can

Give where we are called to give

Walk in love toward others"

Is your light a little dull lately?

Don't despair.

Destiny and providence will prevail.

Sometimes it's just a time to get recharged

Get plugged into the Word!

Ask God to illuminate His Word

Sing the old time hymns

Get on your knees and just say Jesus, Jesus

He hears every question and the He knows

The burdens we carry.

Help in times of being in a little dark corner is this;

Get back-up!!!

Get plugged in!!

Change to a larger watt light bulb...

God has given us resources, but you have to use them!

Everything is going to be hard!

But as you use your spiritual muscles,

And begin to help someone else, your troubles

Will begin to shrink.

Love Light will expose the plan that darkness

Tries to hide its intent.

Be not deceived, Look to the Hills where your help

Comes from...

Even if it's cloudy outside right up above the clouds, 

the Sun is shining!

If it is dark or dim in your home,

Turn on those little lights in every room.

Chase the darkness away!

Because we have a light that can change

Darkness into the most, sweet calming atmosphere!

Shine On...

Hugs, Roxy

Beware Of Calling Evil Good...

 

When seasons change...

The last four years have been the most ridiculous time ever!

The leadership of most everything wanted to enforce us;

"To offend God rather than man"

The scripture than says

Isaiah 5:20:

 "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

 that put darkness for light,

 and light for darkness;

 that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

They wanted to silence everyone, but themselves!

Typical control...

I chose to spend my time being busy doing what really changes the World.

Being a homemaker...

But when someone tells you to be quiet, and it's control,

You must find ways to speak louder without words.

I did continue to write!!

Just not on my Blog,

 But I never stopped writing the truth.

~Here are a few one liners~

Feelings are not Facts

Our attention span is getting shorter-n-shorter

Avoidance Mode; people and situations that cause distress

And robs you of your peace!

Stupid is as stupid does...

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission

(Eleanor Roosevelt)

Don't join a movement

Don't except the lie, freedom is not a license to sin!

Hard times make tough people,

I's no sort of world for cream puffs these days!

Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might!!

I could go on and on!

But I will leave you with this, dear reader;

Never give up!!

Delay the Decay

Fight Fight Fight

Blessings and Love

Beware Of Making Promises...

 

Keeping Your Promises

It is so important to keep your promises.

But keeping them may be harder than you ever imagined.

That is why we must be very careful when and who we

make a promise to.

We have all felt the effects of someone not keeping their promises.

We have seen it all in the divorce of so may couples.

We have all said "I Promise" to someone about something.

A promise is really just being faithful;

In doing what you said you would do.

A promise is giving your word!

What is our word worth?

I realize there are always situations that arise,

That makes it impossible to fulfill a promise.

But we must try to be a person that follows through!

As it has become a serious problem a lack of fidelity

To promises and engagements...

That we have made to others.

We will all be let down at some time.

And I mourn over those that I made promises to

 And did not keep in my lifetime.

But, we can take heart!

We have a God that never will break His promises!

May I encourage you to look in the Word and see,

And believe all His glorious promises!!

His Word will never let us down;

We can trust him always!

But as his Bride may we do our very best to keep

The promise's we make!

We have all heard the saying,

"He is a man of his word"

We are all sick and tired of all the lies and deception...

We do not want to align with the tactics of the father of lies.

There is no truth in him!

So, we may be better to not promise anything,

May our Yes be Yes

And

Our No be No

~Our Father in Heaven wants us to be Faithful~

Blessings, Roxy

Thanks so much to those who have left 

comments and love all these years!

Sturdy Shoes...

Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days,

So shall thy strength be.

 Deuteronomy 33:25 KJV

We can be sure that the Lord will provide sturdy shoes for our journey...

I am amazed at the strength the Lord gives us each and every day!

Yet, I am in awe in how we can know that we will have all we need in every journey.

If God sends you, He will provide!

Some terrain in life will be gentle and smooth.

Some will become rocky and steep incline or decline!

Some of these terrain's will be physical, some can be emotional.

Financial or spiritual.

Some days I feel like I am wearing a wimpy pair of

Flip-flops

Other days my shoes appear to have no arch support,

Which can really hurt your feet.

I think I must be flat footed!

The other day I wore a pair of ankle boots with a summer dress!

It looked rather interesting, I was prepared to take a hike!

Even though I was sitting through a church service!

But actually my feet were tired and I felt the need for the

extra support.

The Terrain

The sidewalks are uneven and cracked and crumbling!

The dirt roads are dusty and  they have rock's you tumble over!

The highways are filled with vehicles racing at high speeds!

The mud puddles are sloppy!

What's  a girl to do?

"Sometimes, 

it's just best to put on a pair of slippers and just stay home"

My Shoes

I remember having a pair of tap dancing shoes as a little girl

I remember having a pair of white Go-Go boots

I remember having snow boots

 with a little elastic hook and button on the side.

I even had to have a pair of moccasins once.

Wore a pair of wedding shoes!

Each foot covering has its purpose

Now days I own a few pairs of sensible shoes I can just slip on!

Some are kinda cute, some are just sturdy!

Maybe I just need to run barefoot!

Dangers of going barefoot- 

Been stung by a bee,

Stepping on a sticker

Getting a splinter in your foot

Finding a sliver of glass

The pavement is hot or freezing

We need protection for our feet...

I'm always amazed to think that as the Jewish people wandered the desert

Their shoes, never wore out!

Two things were provided for these pilgrims journey,

Shoes and Strength

So as a child of God, may I march boldly on!

He will give us strength for each burden and terrain we encounter!

~My only hope is total reliance on His strength~

Take Time To Refocus...

 ~Don't Be Discouraged~

Now is the time to celebrate...

Forget the stuff that has tried to make you in affective

The things that have accused you and left you in a daze;

They are meant to wound you and to  cause suffering.

Take all the stuff to the Lord and push through.

You have a job to do!

A calling to fulfill!

So many are walking around wounded and hurt.

And may never be able to make things right.

So stop being a victim and don't give that thing power over your life!

We are called to be overcomers...

Ask the Lord how you can start celebrating in His goodness!

Do something special to recognize what God has done in your life!

You don't have to be perfect;

And you do not have to be a victim either.

Arrows are flying everywhere!

So raise your shields high dear ones!

You do not have to be a wounded soldier left to die!

I had to remember who the accuser really is;

Firstly, Focus on Jesus, a heavenly focus!

Make time...

Take time to Refocus...

Fill up your vision and focus with heavenly places.

Because when things get confusing, or you get blind-sighted,

When nagging worries or disappointments hurt your heart.

Push aside these lesser thoughts and worldly distractions.

~You must lock your gaze on God's Son~

Read 2 Corinthians 3:18

The more we focus on Jesus, the more we become like Him...

There Is A Bad Moon Rising...

 

 

There's A Bad Moon Rising

We were just overwhelmed with the Full Moons intensity recently.

There is a sense that has had me very quiet in the last few months.

Some call it the Political Sphere;

Some call it the End Days

Some call it Fear Mongering

Some call it Evil

Some call it Persecution

Some call it...

Whatever you may think of these days we are experiencing;

The bottom line is this,

"A Bad Moon Is Rising"

This (Thing) is trying to control us.

The (Thing) wants to destroy us.

This (Thing) wants to kill us.

You must of heard somewhere on the internet or news,

That they want to get rid of 90% of the world's population.

Now, that must make you feel warm and cozy deep down!    (NOT)...

I heard that Halloween is the second most celebrated season in our country!

All of this makes me want to follow even more the ancient pathways that the

Lord has given us to follow!

There is a plague of death everywhere.

From movies to songs to tattoos, to decorations and jewelry.

So I just wanted to say this, I have nothing in common with what

Is going on in our society.

I want nothing to do with the evil that is being spun on social media.

Or our news stations, or the political bashing.

What was once the agencies that were put in place to protect us?;!

Is now what is being used against anyone who tries to think or speak,

Outside the narrator that is being woven in the minds and hearts of many!

Can you be so easily deceived?

Can you not discern between evil and good?

So, I will say this dear one's, I will continue blogging for those of us

That are like minded and yet are not oblivious of the onslaught.

We will not be overcome by evil!

We will overcome evil with good!

But, Look-Up for your redemption draweth nigh.

Please forgive me for not posting or writing as often,

But I think we can all relate to the facts before us.

Time is so valuable!

And time is accelerating!

So be mindful of what you deem is valuable!

If there ever was a time to give 10% of your time to the Lord;

~The Time Is Now~

Blessings, to those that have read my Blog postings these last 10 years.

Blessings, to those who desire to know the Truth.

Blessings, to those who pray for the Fathers Will To Be Done...

Always, Roxy

Redeeming The Time...

 The Time Is Now

Redeeming the time, Because the days are evil.

One thing I am always amazed at is how even in trials and unrest;

Our God will give us times of rest. Free from pain or lack of sleep.

Redeeming the time is something we can do every single day!

We will not always even be aware that we are redeeming the time.

It really is always on God's timetable!

I believe even those little prayers we breath out can change a situation.

We must refuse and resist the urge to give up!

I am always filled with wonder when I see someone who

overcomes and keeps planting a certain flower seed.

Believing it will sprout and give her a beautiful flower garden.

We are drawn to the scriptures and the stories of those that,

Did not give up and persevered in hard times.

Some call it pure grit;

I call it pure Grace...

I believe this country has a divine destiny USA

I believe each person that is part of Gods elect will fulfill

All that God has given him or her to do!

Fill your heart with fuel to travel far!

But there is only a gap to stop and reflect on what is important!

The future is certain, you are part of His plan!

He will use us if we are willing!

Let not your heart be troubled...

Why We Must Live One Moment At A Time...

 

And This Too Shall Pass...

It does seem like we can spend a lot of time waiting for

 either something,to happen or to just waiting to get it over with!

Living in limbo and not living in the present is not realistic.

And it will cause you to miss those moments of life!

God does speak to us in those  little everyday moments! 

I have always loved the saying being in the right place at the right time! 

So if I am always trying to be in a different time space,

I would miss these moments!

Finding myself in the here and now and engaging it properly.

Moments and days and seasons will pass quickly enough.

And there is no way of retrieving those lost portions.

New Age philosophy wants to make the statement

"Living in the present"

Their motto; I don't think so!!

Because every moment you draw a breath its a gift from God!

Don't focus within, focus on God and His Glory.

Now, I am not saying to not look forward to things to come;

But rather don't hurry through the here and now!

Learning to appreciate each moment as it comes;

Some moments are beautiful,

Some moments are sad,

Some moments will change your life forever...

Blessings to each and everyone of you!

Hope your inspired for even a moment!

How To Inspire Yourself To Be A Blessing...

Inspire Yourself...

~Inspiration is a gift that must be fueled~

Keeping your heart is a must; I believe the Breastplate of righteousness,

Is so important to have our hearts covered and protected!

The best way to inspire yourself is to pull out your;

Cookbooks, and some of your best loved magazines, and devotional books!

We have resources that we can surround ourselves in!

Place a few cookbooks on the kitchen table, with a notebook,

And start making a list of some recipes you love or new ones to try!

Go to the library and bring a few books home on crafts to make.

You just may get a easy and great idea for your home or a gift to give.

Look in those tubs and boxes of stashed goodies that you can use!

There are many things that will try to rob us of our joy!

Taking pleasure in the preparing meals and cleaning or crafting,

And enjoying a chat with a friend or loved one is a treasure.

We must learn how to inspire ourselves to be a blessing...

But the stress in life can rob you of what is rightly yours!

We must learn to say NO to the lies and deceptions that try

To silence the inner Christ filled heart and HOME.

The enemy thinks it can come inside with all it's negative stuff!

Close the door and when he knocks don't answer!

Stay busy dear ones, by doing the things that are given by God;

To bless and inspire you in your lives and homes...

There are many things we can do to keep ourselves in His peace!

Keep doing the next thing and the next

that are lovely and pure...

"May you all stop and reflect in what is truly important"

~Create and Inspire Others Also, We Need Each Other~

Living From Glory To Glory

Beware Of Seeing Only The Faults In Others...

Having Eyes For Beauty

Or, Seeing Only The Faults...

I still believe so many men and woman walk this earth,

That are radiant people with gentle and kind character.

Their lives shine with bright and shining qualities;

They are filled with the Holy Spirit!

They have a desire to think the best of others!

Seeing the goodness and the life flow of Christ of true believers;

This is a quality that pleases the Lord.

Let us all strive to be one of those that look for the goodness!

But, sadly we have many that only see the faults in others!

They have no eyes to see these lovely qualities.

But for every fault and blemish, they have the sharpest eye.

Maybe because it may be easier to have a fault finding character.

Why we must be watchful about taking part of having a

Self righteous, critical spirit!
Or rehearsing and remembering every wrong or hurtful word
Spoken to or about you.
Don't allow others abuse you!

Beware of this also;

 Do not spin words or lies about others!

They feel they can do this, because it's easy to be self righteous!

Or maybe anyone of us can get caught up in the moment

 Of a good gossip session!

For many years, I have prayed to not be self righteous;
See your wrong and confess to God

But yet we are to judge between evil and good!

It is how we do this, without destroying someones character or life;

Which is the most important step in looking for the good.

Having grace for others, when they do make a mistake in judgement,

Is a sure sign of a maturity that only comes through trials.

Treat others the way you would like to be treated!

Verify the truth...

Be slow to anger and judgment!

Remember, he said, she said, is a very slippery slope!

Dear Wounded:
Remove yourself from the ones that cause the Pain!
Beware of being lulled into thinking all is okay, when they are on better behavior.
Once or twice is human;
But once you see their pattern of abuse!
Stop and do not expose yourself to their manipulation!

(You will never be able to overcome their view and control)
"It's their way or nothing
They will always get the last word in
They will always call you what they really are
You will never be able to change their opinion of you
They always remember things that happened in their version of the story"

So anyways, if you have been living in this cycle;
Stop and get out or off...

Insanity= doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result

Learn to take your own life under control
Manage your own life and keep only relationships;
~That are biblical and healthy~

As Always, Living From Glory To Glory

Hugs, Roxy

Why Do Some People Refuse To Wear A Face Mask ?...

This Is My Question?

Why are some people refusing to not wear a mask?

I am confused about this topic!

I truly don't get it...

Everything has to have some underlying meaning.

Is this just because I think I look unattractive?  

   (Seriously)

Or they are too uncomfortable to wear!

I surely think its a small price to pay for another person's sense of well-being.

And for your own if someone just happens to sneeze or cough.

I think it's all part of a deep seated rebellion

No One Is Going To Tell Me What To Do

The protesters held signs saying

Don't wear a mask and be gagged;

Oh, really I can still speak and say anything I may need to!

There has been times in history that by wearing a mask,

Just may have saved lives!

First, we were told not to wear them;

(That NEVER made sense to me)

We just need another LAW

To tell us what to do;

As we see others screaming, I won't put up with this!

It just seems to be getting weirder by the day!

If by wearing a mask I can go into stores and business;

And they can open!!!

Why NOT?

If you want to leave your 2 cents;

"Leave a Comment"

Give Us Wisdom

Give Us Freedom to do what is right...

Always, Living From Glory To Glory

Sheltering In Place...

Sheltering In Place

Or you can call it the Stay At Home Order

But I choose to look at it this way, Sheltering in Place!

I feel that staying home is the best place in a world that is fighting
A very scary virus, that can change a life and a family.
They call it the ghost, they can't see it and many are infected with it.
But, they don't even know it!

If you have seen all the hype, and all the lies and the rebellion;
You know this has been a fire of the battles of my rights to just fake news!

But one thing I know for sure this is real and has hit the heart ,
Of our country...

I do not enjoy the political rally cry
My Rights and anti-government!

But, I will once again sit this one out and do as I am asked to do!
But wait---- I did all they are asking us to do before they ever said anything!


If you don't like this country then move
It's your right!

I am so glad our Church willingly chose to close the doors!
To comply with our government's request, but to protect us all!

Well, I have not missed running into town or spending the day away!

Being home can be a great way to get things into perspective!

But, now if social media crashes then we're really in trouble.
Because YouTube is just having comments within comments
 Fighting one another, what will they do with their time!

Look, this is America and everyone, including me, has an opinion!
But now days it may be wiser to keep it to yourself!

This is a time to learn what is important!

The Great Depression was something we still can remember;
But most of us did not live through it.

But we all just may need to change our behavior and our
Critical thinking skills.

In my opinion, we should not have to be told what to do!

Just do it, and do it with an attitude that is Christlike.

He even said give to Caesar what is Caesars!

Your actions could cause great harm to others!

I know there is many  lessons in all of this and I hope we are all

Listening!
I hope we come out of this

With a renewed awakening and an appreciation for what we have!
In our Lives
In our Homes
In our Churches
In our Country

We continue to take these privileges for granted!
But I do not see that they have taken my rights away;
The force comes because some people do unsafe things!
Your not suppose to drive drunk, but people still do!

When I was in class many years ago for my hunting License;
I remember they told us this
Hunting is not a right, but a privilege.

You may not agree!

In these days I am so enjoying my Home!
And what I can still do...

As Always Living From Glory To Glory

Sweet Solitude in Times Of Unrest...

Sweet Solitude

Finding peace and learning to be content in times of unrest.

Why running around and leaving your home for every little thing

you might think you need!

Well, think again;

Having a home, we can rest and shelter in place is such a blessing!

Many people think that continuing to go out and about that

It's still okay and safe to be a part of being out in public spaces.

But, I am so suppose to be responsible...

Right?

So may I encourage you to stay home!

(If you can)

So, why not take advantage of this time to enjoy your home.

I always enjoyed the quote that said

~The kitchen is the heart of the home~

But I feel that the Home is where the heart stays happy.

And healthy with safe borders.

Take this time to start planning your garden!

Start your Spring cleaning!

Make some delicious homemade soup.

Clean out some of those junk drawers.

May I suggest changing your bed sheets every week,

Open the windows, even a crack to allow some fresh air to circulate!

Be not discouraged as we are called to take personal responsibility!

It's not that I believe everything I see or hear on the news;

But rather the truth of what a virus is able to transfer to others;

A virus does not care who it latches onto.

But we may need to keep our own thoughts and ideas to ourselves!

Learn to filter what is pertinent to yourself and your family.

Also, keep the things you talk about

 To your children or grandchildren private.

Only share what they need to know about washing their hands.

Take extra time to pray and be frugal in your home goods.

Realize we are still the working class,

 And we must stay healthy and calm.

Take this time of being asked to stay home and try to enjoy

The Solitude...

Of being with your family!

Keep busy and don't listen to the news all day long!

Try to listen to a news source that is not leftist generated.

I am sure there is more to this story or not that they are telling us!

Use the wisdom we learned from the chicken pox or polio.

Look some people are going to die!

But, the Lord has my days numbered, but I am not stupid!!

Remember when we would practice a fire drill?

Were were to all stay calm and walk out the door!

Well, in this case walk calmly into your home and stay there!!

Hugs, Roxy

What Kind Of Mother in Law Are You? What Kind Of Daughter in Law Are You?

What kind of Mother in law did you have?

I feel very strongly that so many women have missed out;

On one of the most valuable relationships!

Why do these relationships from both the son in laws or daughters,

Turn so sour and hateful anymore!

To allow the enemy to rob us of another member into our families;

from either the parent or child that has gotten married!

This is so rampant anymore!

I have heard so many young ladies say that their Mother in laws 

are just so mean and terrible to them!

Undermining them, and their child's choice of a spouse.

Then the child is torn between loyalty to one's wife or mother or father.

We are told to leave and cleave, but not to cut one's heart out!

Does this all stem from our selfish, controlling motives?

Like a two year old that will not share!

Now, grant you there are a few of these relationship's that looked

good and healthy, but once they married, Then the wolf appeared!

So many have identity crisis, and have come from broken homes!

Many look upon the Mother or Father as old fashion!

They are afraid we will take some of their children's affection away!

Controlling and causing an uproar at every opportunity!

The pain and sorrow that these individuals have cost a God fearing mama's heart!

It's shameful...

Let me remind you of even in the book of Ruth;

She told her friends that her daughter in law was worth more 

then seven sons!!

We must stop this horrible cycle;

So may we all encourage others to look at their in laws and also

the sons and daughters, we give away to their chosen spouse differently!

Look, no one is perfect and no one is going to look or do the things

you do or even enjoy, we all have been raised differently.

If you do not, at least for yourself to decide and with the Lords help;

To be the best Mother In Law you can possible be...

Love is a choice!

Do you always have to be right?

I was given a little plague from my Mother In Law

and it had the sweetest poem written on it!

I loved my Mother in law so very much, I wanted her around!

She loved me and taught me many good things!

Now, My daughter in law has been given that same plaque!

It truly breaks my heart for all the confusion and hurt that

comes from this kind of behavior!

If I can, I will try to always lead someone to reconcile the best they can;

But, If there is none to have, stop calling or trying!

Just Pray And Keep Away

Leave them alone, and just maybe they will come to their senses!

Always learning...

Hugs, Roxy

Here is a picture of the poem that was given to me almost 40 years ago!
I still miss my Mother in law...

Pretty Fall Tea And How Fall Is A Time Of Transition...

Fall Tea

Fall Is The Time Of Transitioning...

I often think how gracious our Dear Lord is to allow us this season!

The transition can be a hard time if it happens too quickly.

It is so much easier to be able to change slowly.

Like the leaves on the trees, they take their time changing!

Sometimes when we think of it when the suddenlies happen,

We can be in shock and it causes great stress on one's self,

And the home life, even children feel the stress and tension.

We can save ourselves some grief, if we will give ourselves time to adjust!

Yes, some things are out of our control!

But, when we can do things in stages or gradually!

Less shock and more acceptance.

I pray often for God to give me the grace and strength;

needed for what each day and season might bring!

I am always looking for the bright side;

But we must climb higher to see the sun at times!

Everything is work,

 But we can make it fun or rewarding just by our attitude!

Remember, even if you have nothing planned for the day;

Take a shower and get the ugh off!

Get outside and walk around and breath deep!

Take control of your thoughts!

Be your own advocate and make wise choices!

Start making a list of activities and things to create to keep

yourself moving and growing!

Being flexible, so when the changes come you can bend and flow!

Always, Roxy

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...

I have been really thinking a lot about how we as Christians are silenced!

We do not speak up because we do not want to offend others;

But truly if we are called to be the light of the world;

It is not something we have to do, or make a conscious effort to do so.

It is like the stars, they do not have to be told to twinkle or shine;

They do it because it is what they do!

Twinkle...

It is not my desire to try to go around offending others that believe a lie!

But, I am tired of walking around being silenced in the little things.

It should be natural to say:

 Praise The Lord

Thank You Jesus

Jesus is Lord

Saying grace

Bowing My head

Quoting Scripture In Day to Day Conversation

This Little Light Of Mine, I am going to let it shine!

A very tiny light can be seen in the darkest night!

I have lived long enough to see so many supposed Christians;

Turn their backs and Hearts against and away from the truth!

The Great Apostasy!

They never truly believed...

Sad. but true!

They are always learning, but never knowing the truth...

Deception is something that looks right or important!

It's once again the syndrome of look at me!

I am religious

I know the deep things...

I studied this for a long time!

I will no longer be silenced!

I will be like the stars that shine every night without being told to!

Blessings, Roxy

Have you experienced this also?

Divine Interruptions...

The unexpected moments and situations...

We must consider divine appointments, we encounter often.

Many things happen to us that may feel like an inconvent interruption.

But, if we would change our perception and look to see what,

God is doing!

This lovely hand crafted pitcher can be filled with just about anything.

But, I can make a choice to fill it with fresh, clean water, or cold delicious milk.

Or I can use it as a container to place some beautiful fresh flowers.

When I am on my quest to do a chore or an activity;

I become so focused at times I have missed many opportunity's.

I pray very often that I might be in the right place at the right time;

Just as I pray please keep me away from anything that is not from You!

I want to be a vessel that is used, but not abused!

Being wise is spoken of as being as wise as a snake and gentle as a dove.

I want to hear, and see when these interruptions happen to me!

I do not want to miss a divine appointment!

But mostly my days are filled with little things;

The choice to do what is useful and sweet for making our HOME lovely.

But, when we at least stop for a moment!

Lift up a prayer and give what we can!

Silver and Gold I have not;

But what I have I give to thee...

Remember,

 An interruption may be a divine appointment the Lord has schedueled for the day!

Have you looked at interruptions as a chance to pray and to serve?

Can You Tell The Differnce Between The Real And The Mass produced...

Garden Fresh

Can you tell the difference between the real and mass produced?

The real will have a fragrance and a taste that can not be truly imitated!

It will not be perfect in size or shape!

We are living in a time of the mass produced and the knock off variety;

Food

Clothing

Purses

Shoes

Watches

Art Work

Even what is written may bot be authentic!

Be your very own best self!

The way you cook and prepare food is just your taste!

You dress with your own style and flare!

The purse you carry says I got it in the bag!

Your time is the gift you have been given to day!

What you draw or sew or even when taking pictures, tells a story!

Write from your heart, and choose your words with a word picture!

Have you ever bought something thinking it was the real deal?

Or

Buying something you thought was nothing great;

And found out it was priceless?

STAY CALM AND IRON

I Love to iron my clothing, even my T-shirts!

It always makes me feel a calming sense;

like everything is okay...

Everything can have an artful dash to it!

I enjoy painting in this season of my life.

I was thinking about how hard everything can be!

We can say over and over again

"If Only"

There are no ifs...

Only

And then...

You are the author of your life;

Write the story well!

Give God time and room to work in all things!

Be wise, yet be a gentle spirit as the world has to many hard noses!

If you are in a tough season, do not be so hard on yourself.

I am a happy person, because it is a choice!

We are not to be a social gospel, but rather a heart for home;

And our mission field is our plot of land and home!

"No matter the size"

Be real!

Stop being angry or afraid, it will produce a rotten life...

You can do this, because God's got this!

just hang onto His Hands...

Blessings, Roxy

May I Not Be Distracted And Stay The Course...

May I not be distracted...

I believe if we will but stop for a moment, we would be able to hear!
We would be able to hear the birds singing, the wind blowing.
Your heart beating!

If we do not take the time to rest and to reevaluate our days;
We can become a part of the rushing, pulsating worldly ways.

I can see so many drivers looking at their phone's and looking down.
We are more distracted than ever!

You must ask yourself daily;
"What is my purpose"

And it truly is right there!!

Being mindful of your daily tasks, really being sensitive to others.

Helping your husband with what he is doing.
Sometimes it's just making a phone call for him!
Making sure you have something for him to eat!
Getting his laundry done!

Are you complaining?

Why do we make things seem harder than they are?
Because we are always taking on more than we need to!
Take and do small portions of tasks in your home;
This way they will not become overwhelming.

Ladies, put down your smart phone or turn off your computer!
Stop spending so much time connecting to a world that is not
meant to be your care!

Have you noticed;
They don't call or write you!!

But each day you are given a small sphere of influence!
Be wise and use it!!

Set your hand to things that make your life and relationships;
Healthy and Beautiful...

I love having a space to sew, paint and to create!

When a women loses herself to a world that does not care.

She will no longer cook, create, and clean her home.

Our time and energy must be well used and managed!

All things work together for the good to those who love God,

To those who are called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28

Notice here it says; Those that love God...

Those that love God make the best of all he does.

God always has a purposeful plan for us!

Life does not always look ideal to us;

But take heart!

She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hand holds the spindle.

Proverbs 31: 19

A Woman's Work Can Be A Pleasure If Viewed As A Blessing

Hope You All Enjoy Whatever Season You Are In...

Blessings, Roxy
