How To Be The Wise Woman That Builds Her Home...

 

~The Wise Woman Builds Her House~

I have always loved this scripture and have desired to be this

kind of woman in my heart. And to learn as how to actually

build my home with wisdom!

Proverbs 14:1

Wisdom does not come without discipline and following Christ.

But you can be this woman if you put your heart into it!

God has asked us to be this woman...

So he will help us in this endeavor, because it will bring

His glory and His presence in  your life and home.

To build anything that will last in this world, must be

Built with Love and Filled with Love

Building your home is something you do every day!

Line upon line

Precept upon precept

It takes setting your hand to the spindle and working it into

something useful and kind and cozy.

A wise woman creates a household that is characterized;

 By Love and a nurturing atmosphere.

Think of those simple things that bring love and life to your home.

Love is an action word...

So many things we do in any given day can turn into

nothing long lasting. It is called wood, hay and stubble.

We want to build a firm foundation made to last,

And to be able to endure the trials and testing that will come.

Choose your words wisely and your actions!

As once they are spoken or acted out;

We cannot change them!

We must learn to be that wise woman...

Pray for your family

Pray for your loved ones

Keep a clean home

Be kind

Serve meals and a refreshing cup of tea or coffee

Listen and respond with compassion and encouragement!

Fill your home with treasures that bring light and love!

Do not become cold and frustrated and giving up

Of Hope and Love to those whom God has given you!

The world and especially this country has tried hard

To destroy the family.

A woman can turn the tide, just by being a Wise Woman

in her home and standing on what is true and profitable.

Do not allow the world and it's way to lead you astray of

what will bring God Glory!!

To The Republic, One Nation Under God...

                                         

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

 and to the republic for which it stands,

 one nation under God,

 indivisible, with liberty

 and justice for all."

I wonder how many people can say this by heart?

We said the Pledge of  Allegiance every morning in school;

With our hand over our heart!

The Pledge of Allegiance is a Promise to be Loyal to the United States!

Liberty and Justice in America cost so very much!

And these people are coming in and wanting what

We all have worked so hard for!

Many of us have lost loved ones that fought for our liberty.

We are not a Democracy in this country!

We are a Constitutional Republic!

While often categorized as a democracy,

 The United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

 What does this mean?

 “Constitutional”

 refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution

 Which is the supreme law of the United States.

It was founded on God's Truth,

Freedom cost so many hardships and Blood, Sweat and Tears!

Are these illegal immigrants going to show loyalty to this country?

We have been invaded by who knows!

We better Pray for a miracle Folks

Just how in the World can we sustain 22 Million people;

That can't speak English and are mostly from Communist regimes?

Just Saying

We must get back to what matters!

God and family and life and Liberty

To Obey God

To obey the Constitution

To Take care of our Families

And To Close Our Borders!!!!!

It's so out of control

Praying Psalm 91 Daily

Believing God for His direction and His protection...

Beware Of Making Promises...

 

Keeping Your Promises

It is so important to keep your promises.

But keeping them may be harder than you ever imagined.

That is why we must be very careful when and who we

make a promise to.

We have all felt the effects of someone not keeping their promises.

We have seen it all in the divorce of so may couples.

We have all said "I Promise" to someone about something.

A promise is really just being faithful;

In doing what you said you would do.

A promise is giving your word!

What is our word worth?

I realize there are always situations that arise,

That makes it impossible to fulfill a promise.

But we must try to be a person that follows through!

As it has become a serious problem a lack of fidelity

To promises and engagements...

That we have made to others.

We will all be let down at some time.

And I mourn over those that I made promises to

 And did not keep in my lifetime.

But, we can take heart!

We have a God that never will break His promises!

May I encourage you to look in the Word and see,

And believe all His glorious promises!!

His Word will never let us down;

We can trust him always!

But as his Bride may we do our very best to keep

The promise's we make!

We have all heard the saying,

"He is a man of his word"

We are all sick and tired of all the lies and deception...

We do not want to align with the tactics of the father of lies.

There is no truth in him!

So, we may be better to not promise anything,

May our Yes be Yes

And

Our No be No

~Our Father in Heaven wants us to be Faithful~

Thanks so much to those who have left

How To Find Tranquility...

 

~There Will Be Seasons You Must Just Rest~

When we pull back from all distractions, we can focus!

I have had so many overwhelming feelings.

The world is changing so fast and it seems like for the worst.

Every road just seems bumpy...

So, I had to just stop before I just raged in disappointment

and wrote things that would not edify!

I have very strong feelings and opinions!

But my heart beats more steady when I do all the things

that fill me with joy!

When we expose ourselves to the dark stuff we fade.

I felt like a plant that had no water or sunshine!

So, I really have focused on doing things

 that fill me and provides me with purpose!

"I am a wife so I bless my husband

I am an artist, so I paint

I am a writer, so I write

I am a grandmother

I am a great grandmother

I am a friend

 so I will invest in them"

I do believe we are in for a bumpy ride;

So I will hang on as if I was on a roller coaster,

And enjoy the ride.

And I will cover my eyes when I can't look!

Taking every thought captive!

You must put up boarders;

Around your heart and mind!

~Because out of the heart the mouth speaks~

Fill your days and moments with life...

Find the tranquility

Find moments in your days to be thankful!

My days will have joy and purpose,

Because whether I eat or drink, I will do it as unto the Lord.

God's timing is perfect, we must just wait upon Him

May You all enjoy the purpose and plan God has for you;

In this season of your lives...

Always, Living From Glory To Glory

How To Persevere In Your Every Day Life...

 

Persevering In Your Every Day

Some days and seasons will just be harder than others!

But we can overcome even if it's just in our own hearts and mind.

Everything seems like a battle anymore.

But we must have a fight to be a victor;

But as we fight we must always remember who the enemy is!

And as sad as it is, we can see God will allow others to be used,

To cause stress and frustration in our lives.

So this is why we must be very wise and diligent who we allow into our lives.

As these people will affect our homes and children with their stuff.

As the holidays are fast approaching, we can make better choices,

 Of who we spend it with and what we do!!

I always have to remind myself to take every thought captive...

Because it will be your mind that will lead you into trouble.

Ask the Lord for wisdom and endurance.

Pray for Peace of Jeruselum

Pray to be able to make better choices

Pray for God to remove all hindrances as you run your race

Pray to be a good steward of your time and money

Learn to walk in peace as much as it depends upon you!

I love this scripture; But some will not allow peace.

                   ~ If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace

with everyone. ~

Romans 12:18

Practice giving thanks with a grateful heart!!

Blessings

Shalom

Living From Glory To Glory

Are You On Auto Pilot...

 

Today Is What I Have Been Given

How will I use my time at the present time?

Is everything going to be on autopilot?

Will I just do the essentials in my survival mode?

No, I think I will make the mindful attitude of these wonderful choices;

I choose to be Happy

I choose Joy

Live in the Moment

Stay Calm and Drink A Cup Of Tea

Stop and smell the Roses

Maybe this whole Idea Of being in the moment is valuable.

How many times does a sweet moment just fly by?

May I listen to my own advice and take in this day and live;

To the fullest...

Make the time to thank God for all you have been given!

Because we are not promised tomorrow!

~Turn the auto pilot Off~

Hugs, Roxy

Sturdy Shoes...

Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days,

So shall thy strength be.

 Deuteronomy 33:25 KJV

We can be sure that the Lord will provide sturdy shoes for our journey...

I am amazed at the strength the Lord gives us each and every day!

Yet, I am in awe in how we can know that we will have all we need in every journey.

If God sends you, He will provide!

Some terrain in life will be gentle and smooth.

Some will become rocky and steep incline or decline!

Some of these terrain's will be physical, some can be emotional.

Financial or spiritual.

Some days I feel like I am wearing a wimpy pair of

Flip-flops

Other days my shoes appear to have no arch support,

Which can really hurt your feet.

I think I must be flat footed!

The other day I wore a pair of ankle boots with a summer dress!

It looked rather interesting, I was prepared to take a hike!

Even though I was sitting through a church service!

But actually my feet were tired and I felt the need for the

extra support.

The Terrain

The sidewalks are uneven and cracked and crumbling!

The dirt roads are dusty and  they have rock's you tumble over!

The highways are filled with vehicles racing at high speeds!

The mud puddles are sloppy!

What's  a girl to do?

"Sometimes, 

it's just best to put on a pair of slippers and just stay home"

My Shoes

I remember having a pair of tap dancing shoes as a little girl

I remember having a pair of white Go-Go boots

I remember having snow boots

 with a little elastic hook and button on the side.

I even had to have a pair of moccasins once.

Wore a pair of wedding shoes!

Each foot covering has its purpose

Now days I own a few pairs of sensible shoes I can just slip on!

Some are kinda cute, some are just sturdy!

Maybe I just need to run barefoot!

Dangers of going barefoot- 

Been stung by a bee,

Stepping on a sticker

Getting a splinter in your foot

Finding a sliver of glass

The pavement is hot or freezing

We need protection for our feet...

I'm always amazed to think that as the Jewish people wandered the desert

Their shoes, never wore out!

Two things were provided for these pilgrims journey,

Shoes and Strength

So as a child of God, may I march boldly on!

He will give us strength for each burden and terrain we encounter!

~My only hope is total reliance on His strength~

Sunshine Or Shadows...

The Goodness is more noticeable as the shadows grow deeper.

I have had the privilege of seeing the goodness in so many people!

I always have this little picture or analogy of when we

had fresh milk and after a little while the cream would

come to the top of the buckets.

It's my most favorite part of the milk.

I like to think that this goodness is like the cream;

It's rising to the top...

So I believe those that persevere in these days and times,

Will be like cream rising to the top.

I think we all have been seeing and hearing and experiencing

so many troubles, it's felt a bit like the shadows 

that are growing longer and darker.

But, We must be like the sunflowers just keep following

The Sunshine...

We all know the darkness will be exposed!

And that the truth will prevail!

Now, this cream has many uses,

We can have ice cream, and then don't forget the butter.

In other words, we have a wonderful future!

"For surely goodness and mercy,

 shall follow you all the days of your life

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever"

Psalm 23:6

Don't allow others to stand in the path of your sunshine!

They are like the long shadows.

Just step around the thing that wants to steal the light.

*You can't stop the cream from rising to the top*

Don't be caught off guard;

You know the shadows are moving closer,

They're getting bolder!

And actually they're telling you what they are doing.

Whatever they accuse you of is what they are doing!

Now, Let that sink in... 

~Hope for the best

Prepare for the worst~
