Momma's Cooking...

 My Mamma's Cookbook's

The Encyclopedia Cookbook

Cookbook

There are so many cookbooks out there!
And we all have our favorites.

It is funny how now days every star has their own cookbook.
Every single ingredient's  warrants is very own book.
You name it!
But really it is an investment as a homemaker to
purchase a few of them.

Sometimes you can just sit and have a good read
while looking at all the different choices for making any one recipe.

And baking is another skill that brings great pleasure.
Making the time to learn culinary skills, is a wise investment.

Remember the saying the way to a man's heart,
is through his stomach.
Now, I really do not think that...
But; A wise woman will feed her man!

I myself prefer good home style cooking.
I love things that make me feel satisfied!

I do think casseroles were God's gift to Mommas!

Give me a potato any way you like,
Baked, mashed or fried!

I also like to cook my meat slow and tender.
Crock pots are very economical (thrifty tool)
And they serve up very moist and tender meats.

I always like to have a fresh vegetable.
Or some I have canned myself (Green beans)
Or serve a nice green salad.

I love any kind of root vegetable,
 they are so easy to grow!
(potato and butternut squash)
They really last a long time in a cool place.
But the potatoes are best to eat up quickly.
We still have some we canned last Fall.

I just think it is so wise to own a few much loved cookbooks.
So you can hand down yours to a daughter, or a young new wife.

We must reach out to this new generation that really knows so
little about cooking and baking.
Reading it in a book is great, but as my Momma use to say;
The proof is in the pudding!

Homemakers Needed

 

 Being a homemaker is a real job!

It deserves to be resuscitated and given life...

Do not let it die on your watch dear ones!

I do not care what the culture is saying or doing!

 

We need the art of homemaking to make a complete

Recovery!!

 

Not the worldly view of what a home should look like!

 

Many of the children our being taught from a  non-christian curriculum.

Why must the women be absent from their homes?

Maybe Because;

Woman want to be away from their homes and children. Or because the

Daddies are not available or just being lazy or never grew up.

Yet sowed his seed to bring another Fatherless child,

Into a world where we no longer cherish children.

 

So Many our suffering from rejection!

(Men and Women)

 

Because we have bought the lie of we need more.

We have to now pay the price. to COME HOME

What can we give up?

Two Cars

Big Homes

Perfect Hair

Fashion

Living Large

 

We are selfish;

 

We no longer cherish our bodies,

We sell them for cheap sex.( No Commitment)

We place tattoos upon them!

Our bodies our a gift...

 

Watch out!

They may require you to wear a number one day...

But you will be so seared you will not even think it odd.

 

Wake-up!

Come home dear Women

Come home dear Men

 

The battle is for the Heart Of The HOME

Do not let the enemy have what God has ordained.

The Home

 

Blessings,

 

 

Classic Pink

 Pink Classic

My cruiser style bike, she is so pretty!

My Hubby took her in for a tune-up early this Summer.

This surely is a sign this little Lady is getting older.

 

Let me explain;

When I was a young girl my bike was bright purple!

It had a Banana seat on it.

A slick back tire.

And no extra gears!

And chopper handle bars.

I loved that bike :)

Now fast forward almost 50 years.

Now pink is for flowers;

And Little Old Lady's  cruiser!

May we ride like the wind, and squeal with delight!

For time really does fly by.

 

 

I heard a sermon today that really touched me.

This man was telling us that while here on this earth,

We are all really dying!

 

It is when we get to Heaven we really begin living.

 

While on this earth,

We can eat really well and eat only organic and,

We can exercise and keep ourselves in shape.

But;

 

We are all perishing!

Where are your treasures?

Our you investing into the Eternal?

 

Yet;

Ride like the wind and enjoy each day!

For we are to take pleasure,

And treat each day as a gift.

Live with intent and desire a pure heart.

Invest in a life by being an example.

For living life is an art!

 

Blessings,

Eyes Of The Soul

Do you remember these eyes?

 

They were looking right through the pages of

The National Geographic Magazine

At me!

 

They captivated my heart;

Who was she?

 

Was she safe, did she have a home like me?

Did she go to bed at night fearful and afraid?

 

This picture of this little girl changed my world.

 

War, what is it good for!

 

Wars and rumors of war...

 

Will there ever be peace...

 

May we see this world through a child's eyes.

If only a glimpse!

It may be all we can take.

 

If we saw the whole picture and all our days before us,

we would not be able to bear it.

 

What happened to this little girl?

Did she get to grow up and see peace in her land?

 

Did she marry and have children of her own?

 

But here is the same little girl as a grown woman.

 



 

What does your soul reveal?

(Your mind and will and emotions)

 

 

All of our lives will be revealed in His timing:

 

 

Be very thankful for our America the beautiful!

Pray for her dear ones!

 

Blessings,

A Rare Treasure~A Virtuous Woman~

A rare treasure is found in a woman of

Godly character.

"Who can find a virtuous woman?"

Proverbs 31:10

We are all asking am I becoming this wonderful
and mysterious woman that is spoken of in
The Holy Scriptures.

May I ask you a question?
Do you;
Seek first the Kingdom of God
And His righteousness?
Then all of these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

Do you desire to tap into all the grace of God's

Power and the Holy Spirits leading

and a resolve to be all that

God wants you to be?

As we look into the heights of His standards,

we can become overwhelmed.

Yet He tells us in His word.

precept upon precept,

line upon line.
Little by little.

We can do this because it's all in

His strength anyways!

Each day we are given, we have

His New Life flowing in us.

So:

Let's not down play these virtues.

These are not old fashioned,

or impossible.

But rather attainable.

Always progressing

Always becoming stronger.

His character being formed in you.

Blessings,

Living From Glory To Glory

Marriage Commitment...

Walking Through Life Together

What does a vow mean to this world anymore?

Do we even know what the word means?

Being committed is good, as long as it is working for me!

I just want to share my heart about something that has,

touched almost everyone of us,

Divorce in America is ramped.

Growing up as a child from the divorce factor.

I will know longer kid myself;

I was broken and grieved!

A child with no Daddy...

One of the greatest wounds for any human being

Is rejection!

One thing I have learned in this life is this;

Marriage is a gift from God,

I am just so sorry and sad so many

Women and Men

Have been wounded and hurt from the broken vows.

From either their parents, or their own broken marriage vows.

Everyone suffers when a vow is broken.

This post is not about placing blame, but rather to say;

I am sorry for all the pain and sorrow it has cost

each and everyone of us.

But we have hope;

He has come to heal the broken hearted!

This week we will be celebrating 31 years of our marriage vows!

May we have many more years together.

But I want to encourage each and everyone of you.

Take being married as one of the most important positions

in this life.

It is work, but well worth every kind word,

 And every walk you take while holding hands.

Every kiss before you sleep.

Every good memory you hold.

Be committed to YOUR marriage!

Blessings,

Roxy

Love Lemons And Life...

Lemons

Life

Love

How wonderful and refreshing lemons are.

Many decades ago, lemons were sought after

 Almost by everyone, The affluent and well to do served

lemons as a status symbol.

Sailors knew of the health benefits to keep a sailor from sickness!

Country folks and families loved the taste and refreshment they gave.

Just a simple bowl full of lemons!

Is your life like a bowl full of lemons?

Bright and cheery

Tart and tangy

Refreshing



Or



Are you bored?

Then may I suggest limes?

You have heard many times, that if life gives you lemons

(Make lemonade)

But I think you might want to go a little deeper, and wider.

Add limes my friend!

Shake it up!

May your love of Him

And the love for others

But whoa the love for your man!

Never let it grow cold!

Love is:

YOUR LIFE

Without LOVE, you will shrivel up!

Your lips will look like you have just sucked a lemon.

Pursed and puckered dry...

You will become a bitter woman,

Not a better woman!

Love like there is NO tomorrow.

Drink from the cup of the tangy fruit set before you.

What comes has passed from the Father's hand!

The Holy Spirit will add the sugar of His fruits,

Galatians 5: 22-23

Drink up my friends,

May we look for the blessings,

For I assure you they are there!

Blessings,

Roxy
