It's A Girl Thang...

Really, Can a girl  ever have enough purses?
Now, maybe I might have a wee bit of a purse infatuation.
I am drawn to each new season of styles and colors.
Big ones and not so big ones.
Bright ones and classic colors.
What is it about finding just the right one?
At least for a few months any- ways.
In my closet, I have a large container filled with purses,
They have been by my side and have held much needed
STUFF
So, I could leave home with a sort of a kinda suitcase (thing -ama -bob.)
So here is my thought!
I am going to Florida to see my kids.
So I will be needing a new Beachy kind of a bag!
REALLY!!
A girl who likes to have a proper bag to carry her things.
Is it really so bad?
Blessings,

Time And Eternity...


Living From Glory To Glory Blog...

Our Time
Time  Is Ticking

Time Is Precious


Living From Glory To Glory Blog...

Sea Shells
Time Make's Them More Beautiful



Some are smooth
Some are pointy and rough
Some are shiny.



 Beauty comes in His time.
There is something about sea shells.
To find one as you walk on the sea shore, a treasure to keep.
Time is also a treasure!
It is a gift
Each day brings a new dimension.
Calm and beautiful
Dry and dusty
Snow and cold
Windy and hot
Always changing!
Yet. There is nothing new under the sun.
I say live and live with all the gusto He has given you!
Say no to the fears that come!
Change is not an enemy;
Make the time,
You are to be the master of it and to assign the day to His flow.
To be rigid and not flexible will cause you to break.
A sea shell is not so fragile it cannot take the rolling and tossing
Of the waters force and the constant  waves.
Make the time to be all He has made you to be,
An amazing woman!
Called in this day and hour to be His treasure.
Blessings,

I Don't Love Nobody



Sometimes we can be so selfish, in thinking we are the
Only ones with feelings.
 
We all have feelings and they do get hurt!
 
I believe our feelings can get hurt in many ways,
Such as when a word spoken causes hurt.
Sometimes it is an unkind look,
Or maybe no eye contact was given (ignored).
 
But mostly I think it is our words!
 
 
My husband has always said this saying:
"Maybe they are having a really bad day!"
 
We must extend grace, we are not perfect and all of us
Are under stress and we can become tired,
And just plain worn out.
 
We must not be like this selfish little girl!
 
The training of our tongues!
 
A careless word may kindle strife,
A cruel word may wreck a life,
A timely word may lessen stress,
A loving word may heal and bless.
 
 
Blessings,
He who guards his mouth preserves life.
Proverbs 13:3
 
I Do Not Want To Eat Worms!

A Labor Of Service

    A Labor Of Love
     
     
    He Loves us so Much.

    He humbled Himself.


    He washed their feet.


    He knelt and prayed.


    He laid down His life.



 
How many times a day have we all had to stoop over to tie a little one's shoe,
 or pick up something that had fallen to the floor.
There was a day when we would kneel and pray.
Posture and body language speaks very loud and sends a message.
 Never be so proud or un-willing to help at any level.
Let us be the one to volunteer with no complaining or griping.
 
Treasure these things in your heart;
Loving your wee ones for they will soon leave the nest.
Take joy in keeping your home.
Love your mate with your whole heart.
Give thanks with a grateful heart.
 Labor of love,
His love,

Blessings,

This Chair Is Just Right

 
 This Chair is too small for both myself and my hubby!



 

This is  a close up shot of it,
the design and pattern of it was very tight and small.
Also the chair itself was tiny.
 
 

 
Here is the replacement!
It is much larger and of course it is covered
with leather. It is very large and roomy
and comfortable.
 

 
Here is the throw pillow that came with the couch,
I felt it was hard as a rock,
and much too large for this couch.
 
 

 Can you see the new pillow, it is smaller and a very
vintage pattern. We did put three of them on the couch.




Here is my new cozy chair,
And it's just right!
 
 
I am so thankful for the amazing La-Z-boy company.
They were generous and took the first two chairs back.
Mind you these were special orders, and they did allow
us to return them.
 
I will tell you that once we returned the first chairs,
we had to choose some new ones.
 
Now, this is where I stepped back and let my hubby
take over. He had to sit in each chair to make sure it
was large enough for him to comfortably sit in it.
We are convinced the furniture out there is shrinking!
 
I am so blessed as we have always taken great care of our\furniture.
So we were able to bless others with a slightly used
and comfy older stuff.
 
I love being a homemaker!
 
This has been a season for painting and makeovers.
 
Blessings,

Romancing Your Husband...


Why we must romance our husbands!

This world  with all its' hard situations is taking a toll on us individually,
But it can be seen in our marriages also.

Life has a way of making us feel distracted,
Our senses are on overload.

We can start to feel disconnected and  even desensitized.

So as we all know, we have been given a gift as women
To be used to help our husbands to feel loved.
And appreciated.

So, take the challenge ladies;
Romance YOUR husband!

Take pleasure yourselves in being His, wife and friend and love.
Of being:
The wife of his youth!

At times I must give myself a good talking to.
I do NOT want anything or anyone to
Take my place in showing interest to my Husband!

So make a decision!!!
Be consistent!!!
Give him your full attention!!!

Romance Your Husband...

Blessings,

Let me think about it...
Ok, I will post it, but if this does not make my top ten posts,

over 34 years. And believe me she knows how to make
the yummiest and moistest strawberry shortcake ever.

Getting Out Of The Box And A Yellow Cake Recipe...



Living From Glory To Glory Blog

 Making a yellow cake mix from scratch.
The goal is to find one that will produce,
a moist and semi-light texture.
Not a puffed air texture like you get from a box mix.


Living From Glory To Glory Blog


I baked this cake in two 9inch round pans.
It was nice that it was not in my usual 9x13 pan size.




This cake baked up very moist and hardy.
It tasted like a shortbread cookie.
I used a basic buttercream frosting for this yellow cake.
It is nice to make a cake from scratch because you know
Exactly what has gone into it!


Here is the link for this cake;
