Giving Thanks Before Eating Our Meals...

 

God's Provisions...

Jesus took the Loaves and gave thanks for them.

One memory that I remember growing up was saying Grace.

We must not ever waste his bounties.

I have read this saying;

"Loaves unblessed are loaves unmultiplied."

If Jesus did this before partaking of food

or serving it to others. I do think with all my heart

this is a wonderful to thank God for his provisions.

So, we should make a habit and pause and thank God.

Before eating our meals. Even if it's just yourself sitting

down for a quick lunch or a feast with friends.

Many times if we are with unbelievers we have to do this

Quietly and yet unapologetically!

If we will give thanks and eat in faith, we will

Always enjoy what we have been given to sustain our bodies.

~Make some fresh bread and break it and give thanks~

Oh, but don't forget the butter!!

Saying Grace is a bit like this;

We are saved by GRACE...

Do You Say Grace?

We bless God when we do!

As always: Living From Glory To Glory

It's just some days are harder then others...

Kaleidoscope Vision...

 

~Seeing Life Through a Kaleidoscope~

Our daily lives are a bit like a Kaleidoscope.

It may seem like each day is much the same,

But actually it will be arranged differently,

From the variations of color and proportion!

The same but different...

Maybe we need to pull out our own Kaleidoscope

 And get a different perspective!

We need to find the wonder and beauty in the ordinary!

Each day something is different,

So we get to look at the same thing,

But with a new pair of eyes...

Those that have eyes to see!

Things in this word can seem overwhelming;

But if we will just remember everyone will see things

Differently, and respond not as we would.

The world will use smoke and mirrors to try to hide

What is really going on!

But God will use His Eye

(Or Kaleidoscope)

And He Will Use the Light of His word

Creating and Producing Patterns.

He wants to change our perspective!

Using the mirror of our eyes

~The eye is the lamp to the body. You draw light into

your body through your eyes, and light shines

out to the world through your eyes~

Matthew 6:22

The Kaleidoscope was invented by 

Sir David Brewster in about 1816

Optical beauty using mirrors and light!

May we see Gods Glory

In His creation and in our ordinary days!

Blessings, Roxy

 

Everything Responds To A Sweet Disposition...

~ Making These Moments Meaningful~

Just Chilling in this time of cold and snow;

When we can learn to embrace each new flip of a calendar month!

Things slow down and we can get back into a slower routine.

I have found that when you just let the day work for you,

By managing a few things on your daily planner.

Or your to do list is meaningful.

Everything in each day will not be a grand affair,

But more like a steady timeline.

I have found great comfort in the little things in making our home

Comfortable and calm and just enjoyable.

I tell myself that there is no coincidence;

Everything is in His purpose and plan!

He just wants us to respond to his leading and be diligent!

It's not about doing everything perfect or in record time,

But rather just doing the next thing.

When you do what needs to be done in a way

that feels smooth and not hurky jerky!

I think our homes respond to a tender movement;

Not aggressive and rushing about.

I believe everything responds to a sweet disposition!

Even as you go about doing all that needs to be done;

You can be at peace and enjoy what you are doing.

The whole world wants it now,

The quicker the better.

Now, I can't even hear myself think!

Bask in this new month, enjoy and look forward to

what lies ahead in each new day.

For when we contemplate our reasons for what we do each day;

We can see the value of making the most of each task.

After all, we will never have everything caught up;

As tomorrow will be a new day with tasks,

That call for our attention.

Also, once again try to do something each day that

Inspires you and brings you joy!

Doing what is required of me;

And doing something that gives me satisfaction is

a wonderful way to accomplish much!

Blessings, Roxy

Looking For The Beauty In Life...

 

Looking For The Beauty In Life

We are all living in days of trials or untraveled territory.

It may be a personal trial or it may be sickness.

But the truth is everyone is being tested!

Trials and pain are just apart of being alive.

But there is just something about those special ones that just stick out!

They just seem to handle difficulties better and keep a sense of composer.

When I was a young woman I would pray this prayer;

Lord as I grow old help me to not be old and cranky.

I want people to say that old lady is so sweet!

So how do we become sweet little old people?

We have trials and pain and disappointment,

So we can learn to rely on Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit!

We become less self-centered and more Christ centered.

Our face will relax and our smile lines will increase.

Why because we are being pruned to look at the beauty in life!

And this something you have to earnestly look for in your days.

This just means that storms will come,

But after the dark clouds recede we will see the beauty in the

 stark brilliance of His provision and the testing.

Remember this is not the New Heaven Or Earth!

Joy comes in those little simple things...

Seeing a beautiful bird in a leave less tree.

Seeing a smile returned even with a mask on your face.

Seeing the provisions of Gods hand.

Seeing a sunrise or a sunset

Seeing an elderly couple who has been married for years,

Still holding hands...

~Open your heart and your eyes and you will see beauty~ 

Onward and Upward
