Divine Weapons

Choose Your Weapon!

The Word tell us we have weapons not of  this world.

Praise God!

We are in need of back-up, to know someone has your back,
is very reassuring!

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to
demolish strongholds.
2Corinthians 10:3-4

And your back-up is:
The Glory of the Lord!
For the Lord is your rear guard.

As we come out of the season of Thanksgiving,
and counting your blessings.
May we move into this Season
of Comfort and JOY.
Choose JOY!

Blessings, Roxy
 

Funny Girl...

Now This is Funny

I Really needed a good laugh!

Sometimes a girl just needs a good belly laugh :)

It is a proven fact, laughter is good medicine...
They're our some people that look like they may need a spoonful
Of good medicine.

I really do enjoy a good cup of coffee!

You can find so many facts supporting the benefits of 
Drinking it for health support now days.
But I think just the ritual of making a pot of coffee,
is soothing and comforting.

The world has so many things that want to bring,
worry and stress upon our hearts and home.
So if we can find some comfort and peace
And maybe a good laugh over a cup of coffee;
This my friend is a good thing...

A  cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up
the bones.
Proverbs 17:22

Taking Pleasure

"You Say It's Your Birthday"

Happy Birthday!

This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it.

I must admit I have had more pumpkin pies for my
birthday  with candles in it then I can count.
Because my birthday has either fallen on Thanksgiving day, 
or has been in the same week,
my whole life.

I have always had to pray my way through the
holidays.  I believe there are just some
things attached to birthdays, and holidays.

But praise God he has given us freedom,
and the ability to overcome.

It is not like something bad happened to me.
It is more like a false expectation, I put on it!

So, I rejoice knowing that I can walk in freedom
And enjoy this Birthday,
because of His grace.

Also, I have been learning to take pleasure
in the holidays.

Every year has been more of a release,
to be in Him.
And not allow my hold to a false
expectations to take control.

Being transparent has helped.
Let us not hold ourselves in high esteem,
but rather humble ourselves.
That He may exalt us in do time.

Blessings, Roxy

A living Example

My Oldest Grand Daughter an my Youngest Grandson

 

 

Big sister is reading to her little brother.

 

I must admit it makes my heart feel so full, to see the love and care she is showing her little brother.  We live in such a day that we do not give the example and the home life to teach this to our children anymore.  With older siblings off to school or the wee ones in day care.  But thank God more and more families our working at keeping the family together.  And it is our biblical duty from the scriptures to help mentor, our daughters and encourage them in their pursuit to stay at home.

 

And to also thank our sons for allowing them to do so.

 

I realize we all can not stay at home!

But as I have said many times it is where your heart is !

 

May we all pursue to keep the home fires burning.

May our children say: There's NO place like home.

No matter how old or how far they live away:)

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

Pumpkin Pancakes...

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.

Living From Glory to Glory

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!
