Indulgence Nature...

Crack Me Up!!

This sweet little girl is no different than us big girls sometimes :)

This is the time of the year we have so many

 Sweets and goodies

In our homes!

We have been baking and preparing all sorts of

Special  goodies...

But sometimes we have had just too many sweets!

How do we use self control,

 When the smooth creamy fudge is calling my name?

Or those cute little Christmas cookies

 Cut out and baked and frosted with care look so tantalizing!

They sparkle and look cheery and bright.

So, because of the gift given to me on Christmas morning;

I now must rely on the gift of  the precious Holy Spirit's working of

The fruit of Self-control in my "self" indulgence nature.

Eat and enjoy His sweet leading in what we eat and drink!

Whether you eat or drink do it all unto the Glory of the Lord.

Dear ones we need to be more concerned

 With what comes out of our mouths,

As these things will defile us.

Cake and goodies can be eaten and enjoyed

Because He has made provision.

Be more concerned with come out of your mouths!

 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart;

 and they defile the man.

Matt 15:18

Sentimental Christmas

 Feelings at Christmas bring such a sentimental touch!

We always long for the sweet treasures we remember as a child.

I cannot help wanting to cry like a baby when I hear

certain songs!

We are blessed and nothing stay's the same...

We are growing and our lives change.

Season's change...

May we never forget all of His provisions!

Love like there is no tomorrow!

For Christ is the same today as yesterday!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Remember that you are making memories

 for many years to come,

For yourself and those who you are celebrating Christmas with today!

Christmas's Past...

Greetings, To Each and Everyone Of You All !

As we see the days getting darker and the lines being blurred;

Is the time for His Glory to shine!

We will see it getting brighter in those who have

Chosen to be a willing vessel for His Light and His Glory!

Be not dismayed, or allow your thinking too

Grieve the Holy Spirit!

We are to keep our eyes upon Him!

He has a perfect plan!

Take all the memories and those thoughts that

Have saddened your heart...

From Christmas's past because our

Christmas's are  just filled with memories of our childhood,

And some from just hard years we have had to live through.

A death of a loved one!

Maybe a divorce!

And some of these memories are very good ;

 But some memories can still cause pain!

I have learned over the years that this is where you

 Can practice taking every thought captive!

Because;

Our mind and our thoughts and, our memories become a seed bed,

Of so many things we have lived through and in many cases

We have learned to overcome.

God knew we would have sorrow, and He made provision

In His word to teach us how not to live in the past.

And allow the past sorrows to wound us again!

Allow yourself through His Grace and Love

To enjoy His celebration of His Birth!

Merry Christmas

One Of the Many Uses For A Head Lamp

All I want for Christmas!

My sweet Hubby asked me today;

Honey is there anything else you wanted for Christmas?

I was speechless (Well almost)

Our Father in heaven knows what we need and want,

Even before we ask!

I have been so blessed to have a wonderful Husband!

I have been given many godly women as my friends!

I cherish my Children and my Grandchildren!

Counting my blessings...

So I decide to call my sister!

 and here is what she is dealing with;

My sister in Michigan has no power and no running water.

They have had a terrible ice storm.

 And this has caused many

Downed trees on their property.

They have told them they may not have power up until

December 26th or the 27th!

She starts telling me about how she has tried to get her gifts

 finished before Christmas.

So she has had to wear a head lamp to see!

Now, with these thoughts rolling around in my head as

 My sister wears a head lamp on her head trying to crochet a wash cloth!!

Now I am cracking up here!

Plus she has not been able to wash her hair for two days!

Not a pretty picture for the Holidays...

My sister has always had the best attitude even in

the hard times!

Her whole town is out of power!

Can I ask if just maybe my sister and the whole town where she

Lives, to have their power restored,

For Christmas?

Does this good attitude of my sister sound like an overcomer?

Blessings,

Roxy

Making Room All Year Long...

There is no room!
For my life is so crowded!

There is no room...

Can you not stop and hear His wee cry?

Hush...

Be still!

We can become so busy, that we do not have room for Jesus!
No time to study and read His word.

No time to just sit still and hear His still small voice!

Have you not learned the value and importance of
Knowing how to choose the best things?

He has given us a banquet table filled with an array 
Of choice things.
We so often will follow the crowds instead of
Seeking the Glory cloud!

I have to make room for The King daily!
I have to make room for my Hubby daily!
I have to make room for family daily!
Do you not see the grief and fear on the young woman's face?
Can you not hear the hungry cry of your own soul?

If you will but stop and learn to pray and ask 
For His Wisdom!
I do not want to be crowded out by the Busy Stuff!
Today or tomorrow, or Holidays!
I want to choose the best thing...

Did you know how this year would be filled
with all the challenges you have been through?
Did you not awake afresh to be His utmost for His highest?
How many times??
Daily!
It is a daily thing Dear Ones!

Make Room!
Remember wise men still seek Him!

Blessings,
Roxy
