Count Your Blessings

Gobble- Gobble!
 
Happy Thanksgiving
 
I am taking this time and counting my blessings!
 
It is so important to give thanks,
it truly opens the heart.
 
You cannot be counting your blessings,and
be un-thankful at the same time.
So choose blessings!
 
Count your blessings:
Name them one by one,
 
1.God choosing and loving me.
2.Having a husband that serves Christ.
3.Having family.
4.Having friends.
5.Being a grandma
6.Being able to study God's Word.
7.Having a home to live in.
8.Being healthy and strong.
9.To be able to worship freely.
10.To be able to love others.
 
He blesses the house of the righteous.
Proverbs 3:33b

Kitchen Skills

  Making Pies
 
This picture just brings back such a sweet idea
of home and family.
 
I  myself can never get past the wholesome heart,
that was always intended for the family.
 
And it did take heart!
Not the (only myself) attitude.
 
These skills were not just there by osmosis,
but rather taught and practiced in the home.
 
As women, wives and mothers,
we have a custom and heritage we must keep alive!
PIES
 
Apple pie
Pumpkin pie
Cherry pie
Pecan pie
 
The list could go on and on!
Don your aprons ladies...
Baking season has begun:)
 
Each one should use whatever gift he
has received to serve others.
1Peter 4:10

Blessings, Roxy

Pumpkin Pancakes...

Pumpkin pancakes on Living from glory to glory blog
Pumpkin Pancakes

These are just delicious!
You gotta try them.
They are so moist and flavorful!
Just use your own pancake mix recipe,
Add 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin pie spice.
Add 1/2 cup pumpkin puree.
They cook up light and fluffy.
Spread fresh butter on top, and
Pour on warm maple syrup.
Say grace and thank God,
for your food!
Eat and enjoy His wonderful bounty!
God is able to make all grace abound to you,
so that in all things at all times,
having all that you need,
you will abound in every
Good Work.
2 Corinthians 12:9

Goose Hunting

His First Goose Hunt!
And I don't mean Dad's!


Golly this goose weighs a ton!
This boy has a marks men's eye...

He got up at 5:00 am to put out decoys,
he was ready and down before the sun came up.
 
He is an amazing shot!
So proud of him...
 
Our family loves to hunt!
 
They smoked it and made goose jerky out of it.
It was so good!
 
 
I went with my oldest grandson, and we
did our hunter safety class together
last year.
 
I believe it is important to train up the next generation
to be sportsmen like, to know safety and to respect
our wildlife.
 
He has bent His bow and made it ready.
Psalms 7:12
 
Wait for the first light to shoot!

Home Sweeet Home

Pretty Fall Material
 
There is just something about material,
that just fills me with such a longing
to create.
 
I believe it is what our Creator, had in mind
all along.
 
There is real power in the way we present,
ourselves and our homes.
 
We are to be the example to the world,
not to follow after the worlds example.
 
Our homes should reflect His heart.
 
When you make the effort to make all things
beautiful, clean and tidy, it will
reflect His peace and order.
 
She makes coverings for her bed; she is
clothed in fine linen and purple.
She makes garments and sells them, and
supplies the merchants with sashes.
Proverbs 31: 22,24
 
I am not saying every women should
know how to sew,
but I am saying you can make an effort
to make your home welcoming.

Unique and Lovely


Unique Gift Wrapping
 
Here is a photo of last years birthday gift
from my sister.
 
I actually feel as excited over the way she wraps her
gifts, and the way she presents them, as
the thoughtful gifts she sends.
 
Last year each gift was wrapped in a lovely old
doily, tied with jute and a orange ribbon.
 
These doily's were also
sentimental as they belonged to
our mother.
 
I was just thinking of this as a great idea
to use, as we are so close to
the gift giving season.
 
 
There was also an idea that I used one year.
I bought a bunch of very inexpensive fabric,
and I sewed up bags to put gifts in.
I tied them with ribbon, and added a gift tag.
The tag was made out of brown paper
sacks cut out in a cute design.
I traced out the designs from my cookie cutters.
 
I know we all want to use our
resources wisely.
 
I think we can also give gifts of
things that already belong to us. Such
a much loved plate or bowl,
a treasured tea cup.
Think outside the media gift ideas!
 
Ask God for creative gift ideas!
 
To the man who please Him,
God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness.
Ecclesiastes 2:26

Elegant Tea

Simple Tea
 
Even the most modest tea pot and cup,
served with a lace table cloth,
makes it fit for a Queen.
 
The simple but elegant!
 
Never under estimate a cup of tea.
 
Take time and be still.
 
Blessings, Roxy

Recycled Mittens


Mitten Weather

I was just going through some of my favorites,
 and I found some great ideas on recycled mittens.
  We all know very cold days and snow are ahead for some of us.
We really are praying for snow as we have
been in a terrible drought.
We have been so busy doing some home make-overs, that
it has been a challenge to find time to do anything else.
I love to sew and to craft and to make things lovely
for my home and family.

There are so many ideas on the web for making mittens from old sweaters!

                                                   
                                                                    Blessings
