Ask Yourself This Question...

  

What Is Required Of Me?

What is required of me is a question I have been asking myself.

We will all experience times and seasons of lack of strength.

Also there will be times in seasons of actual changes;

Spring, Summer, then Fall, then Winter

I wanted to share this because we can possibly feel bad about

not being able to do all that we have done in past years!

So knowing what is required of me is a very

vital and important question in every season of my days.

Running into town or being at every function is going

to drain my strength and use up valuable time!

So I know that there are things that hold greater importance

and value in each day!

So it is up to me to make choices that will benefit my life!

So this has to be priority!

Having a home that runs smoothly

Having strength myself to enjoy life

Having meals that nourish our bodies

Having a sweet and gentle attitude towards my Husband and others!

By learning to reserve and manage your strength is wisdom.

Some women have strength in abundance;

But if you find yourself discouraged, take heart!

What is truly required of you should be a joy,

Some days will be easier to accomplish tasks,

 other days you may be just to tired to do very much at all!

So, now I tell myself do what is needed this day!

Don't take on burdens that don't belong to you!

As I have said in past post; Learn to know your limits!

Blessings, Roxy

Character Matters...

Character Matters

The World is telling us what matters...

But may I be a voice that is allowed to say what I think matters?

Or will my opinion or view be cancelled.

 In this tidal wave of a socialism climate

 of telling me what I should think, say or believe?

Personal Character

Firstly we are not robots!

Our character is developed gradually by our decisions 

under God's guidance.

As we all know we are not finished growing in Godly Character.

I believe we learn it through the fruits of our right or wrong choices.

Other words we can learn from our mistakes!

Godly Character is really a heart issue:

It starts with our innermost thoughts,

God knows what goes on inside our minds!

I have watched some pretty disturbing clips on the news;

And it seems that many grown adults are throwing

a temper tantrums in every sector of society.

And mind you they all think they are right and how

they perceive it is correct!

There is a lot of wrong in this world...

But we are not to allow someone else or  a movement to

shape our character!

We can all be influenced, but stop and think;

Are we being programmed?

This is why we must protect and keep our homes free

from the worlds agendas!

We have a calling to maintain truth and peace!

Remember:

A lie is a lie

We have been given control to manage our homes;

And this will be a bigger influence on world peace,

Then all the protesting and riots, they have never changed anything!

Stop and rejoice in the freedom you have today!

Do not let it slip away!

Enjoy your God given rights and read His Word!

This stuff has been going on since the World Began...

So don't give up!

Fight the good fight...

Your light no matter how small makes a difference;

Godly Character will always have persecution!

Thanks for following this Blog!

Be A voice

Be A Prayer

Be A Light

Be A Faith Keeper

Hugs, Roxy

A New Thing Can Be A Good Thing...

A New Thing

There is just something about a new thing that can inspire us!

We have all heard the expression, I just need something new.

This new thing is not about going out and purchasing something!

But rather a new way of doing things, or changing out something!

It might be nice to give yourself a facial;

Pamper your tired or dry skin.

Maybe its time to take down your curtains and wash them'

Or replace them with something else.

Maybe it's time to purge all those clothes you don't wear anymore.

Or just don't fit any longer!

We are all being transformed every new season, 

So I believe it is important to be conscious of it,

And as we grow and change every new year and season.

I think we can look around and find ways to be beautiful!

This beauty is both inward and outward...

The Spirit desires to change your inward;

You can change the outward in little ways!

May we not get stuck in a rut and become drab and dreary;

We can wash our windows of our vision of being a doer!

Making beauty a priority...

Doing a small makeover once a week can transform your home and Life!

Clean something out!

 Paint it!

Walk!!

Get a new hair style!

Get a new Bible!

(Take Every thought captive

No more stinking Thinking)

Learn to take a break to refresh yourself!

Paint your kitchen

Try a new recipe!

Change your Livingroom around!

Pull out some magazines for a new decorating idea!

I love it when someone will tell me what they are doing;

As it inspires me to do something new...

Tell me what are you thinking about doing that will be new for you!

Living From glory To Glory

I'm not afraid to change things up here and there!

But be careful about moving your furniture;

And coming out of your bedroom in the middle of the night.

And tripping over that dang foot stool LOL

Love, Roxy

Learn To Know Your Limits...

 We Must Learn To Know Our Limits

We are all aware of Speed Limits

They are posted in plain sight along every road!

We don't have to guess at what it might be.

I think it is wise to learn to know what are personnel

limits may be in our physical strength.

Allowing yourself to get burned out daily;

Will cause havoc in your life.

Of course there will be times of a crisis where it is required!

But I believe these are times where God gives us His strength.

What I am referring to is not pushing yourself all day long.

We do need to push a little bit to get an extra chore or task done.

Living in a constant hurry up mode is not healthy!

Learning to stop and take a breather,

Allowing a coffee or tea break;

Does a body good...

The word tells us to aspire to live a quiet life!

1 Thessalonians 4:11

I must use my strength wisely,

To take care of the needs of my husband, family and home life!

We are not suppose to go go go...

We must take time to reflect and ponder.

We are just to quick to speak or to volunteer.

We are all made a bit different, and we all have different

degrees of strength levels.

That is why you must learn to know your limits!

Wisdom is a powerful tool and once we learn something;

We can apply it and be the better for it.

I know some people that can live a fast pace life,

But many more need to go at their own speed.

Being fast or the first is not as important.

As being consistent and doing a job well.

So remember resting or taking a rime to relax is very important!

Don't allow the world to dictate how fast you have to drive;

Or how much needs to be done every day.

I realize the work world will have a quota, but that is different!

I am talking about in your home and your personal time frame.

Learn to do those things that revive you!

Reading A Book

Enjoying a Good Movie

Working on A Craft

Praying With Someone

Taking A Little Nap

Then you will have a better outlook and can carry on!

So rest and refresh yourself as often as your body needs it!

Once again sharing what I am learning.

Blessings, Roxy

You Can Be A Proverbs 31 Woman At Any Age...

 

Hold On! You Can Do This With Grace

~In her hand she holds the distaff and grasp the spindle with her fingers~

Hymn to a Good Wife

10-31 A good woman is hard to find,

and worth far more than diamonds.

Her husband trusts her without reserve,

and never has reason to regret it.

Never spiteful, she treats him generously

all her life long.

She shops around for the best yarns and cottons,

and enjoys knitting and sewing.

She’s like a trading ship that sails to faraway places

and brings back exotic surprises.

She’s up before dawn, preparing breakfast

for her family and organizing her day.

She looks over a field and buys it,

then, with money she’s put aside, plants a garden.

First thing in the morning, she dresses for work,

rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.

She senses the worth of her work,

is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.

She’s skilled in the crafts of home and hearth,

diligent in homemaking.

She’s quick to assist anyone in need,

reaches out to help the poor.

She doesn’t worry about her family when it snows;

their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.

She makes her own clothing,

and dresses in colorful linens and silks.

Her husband is greatly respected

when he deliberates with the city fathers.

She designs gowns and sells them,

brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.

Her clothes are well-made and elegant,

and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.

When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say,

and she always says it kindly.

She keeps an eye on everyone in her household,

and keeps them all busy and productive.

Her children respect and bless her;

her husband joins in with words of praise:

“Many women have done wonderful things,

but you’ve outclassed them all!”

Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.

The woman to be admired and praised

is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.

Give her everything she deserves!

Adorn her life with praises!  Message Version

Strength and Dignity Are Her Clothing

Remember She Always Speaks With Kindness...

Remember Charm can mislead and beauty fades!

Learn to shop for your best deals and price.

Always organize your day

(Just do Something)

You don't have to sew your own clothes;

But get dressed for your work day;

"But look nice"

Ask YOURSELF

Can others trust you?

Hold your tongue, just because you thought it,

Does not mean you should say it!

She opens he mouth with wisdom,

and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue!

~Let your words be like honey, for you may have to eat them~

 

"The woman to be admired and praised

Is the woman who lives in the fear-of-God"

May we all strive to be this kind of woman at every stage of life.

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

How To Sew Little Hearts ...

A Little Sewing Makes The Heart Happy

Wanted to share a little craft you can make and give throughout the year!

This craft is super easy and inexpensive.

Using up little scraps of fabric is a great way to be frugal.

I like making these so they are available so

 I can tuck them into any packages to my friends or family!

A little added bonus that they can remember me by.

Plus they look so cute, and you can hang them anywhere!

All you need is

 A heart shape pattern you cut out

Scraps of fabric, or you can buy what you really like

Scissors

Fiberfill for the stuffing

Ribbon or lace for hanger

Little ribbon flowers or buttons

Glue for adding flowers or buttons

I did sew mine on my sewing machine,

 But you could sew it also by hand!

You could also make these out of felt material,

And you would do a stitching by hand around it.

So cut out your pattern

Pin the pattern onto the material

Cut heart out.

Sew both pieces right side out, but leave a little gap to add your stuffing!

(Don't fill it really full)

Sew up the little gap

Now hand sew on your lace hanger or ribbon

Glue on a button or flower.

Ta Da

You now have a heart to keep or give away!

Keeping a small project to work on can help you stay creative;

And keeps your hands busy!

I like to pray while working on these kinds of projects,

They can inspire you and keeps you calm.

I have always loved seeing pictures of a homemaker sitting

In a chair and working on a sewing project.

Find peace and joy in the small things!

Blessings, Roxy

~Let me know if you try this sweet little craft sometime~

How To Make Each Morning Beautiful...

 

Every Morning Is A New Day To Make It Beautiful...

I think we can all relate to this idea;

Because I find my self by the end of each day feeling exhausted,

A bit overwhelmed and spent.

So when I have completed all that I possible could do in that day.

My day is done and I need to stop and do something to relax my heart and mind!

Having a bedroom that is clean and uncluttered and clean sheets,

May help in getting a good nights rest...

If we have not learned to shut out the world's noise and confusion,

And to relax our brains it can be a problem!

Learning to let go and allow yourself to sleep without worry!

I know its easy to say, but truly if you have been alive long enough,

You know worry changes nothing!

So this little post is about starting each new day when you open 

Your eyes is to aspire to make this day beautiful!

Each day as we all know will have challenges, but how we react to them

Is totally in our ability to respond well!

How to make each day beautiful is as unique as each reader is;

We all have the ability to say kind things to others.

To be able to ignore someone causing friction.

We can make our kitchen table look lovely and inviting.

We can ignore our phones every time the ding.

We can work on some craft or a special meal preparation.

We can stop listening to news.

We can look for little ways to make our lives pretty.

We can enjoy a cup of tea and look through a magazine.

We can pamper ourselves!

We can concentrate on new ideas for rearranging a room

 or changing out some furniture.

Sometimes it is as easy as a bookcase or a picture.

I believe if we will make an effort God will supply the energy and creativity!

~Read~ Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,

 whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-

If anything is excellent or praiseworthy-

~Think about such things~

~Truly the state of your thinking can make your day beautiful~

Blessings, Roxy

Living From Glory To Glory Every New Morning...
