Lilly Of The Valley And Little White Lies...

 

Little white lies...

Do you feel a sorry in your heart when you tell a little white lie?

Little untruths make us vulnerable to the great deceptions in our world.

When was the last time you told a little lie?

It grieves my heart when I have said something that was not true!
It turns me to my Savior and I repent and cry for His cleansing blood!

A little lie is not white at all...
But rather dark and filled with a hole that can become a bottomless pit!

Lies are not deadly for you shall surely not die...
Sweet little lies...

Sometimes we even lie to ourselves!
It's not always what we say to someone else!

Did you know you can tell a lie so many times that it eventually
will become truth to you!

Did you know that a heart that repents of its sin and turns away
It's pleasing to the Lord?

The world lives on lies!
Advertisements and all the gimmicks!
And all those fish stories we have heard or have even told ourselves.

May my words and statements be a sweet smelling aroma
to my Lord!!

When we open our mouths will we speak with fork tongue?

Dear Lord, Please allow me to speak truth in love!
And may my words be sweet like the little white blossoms of the
Lily Of The Valley Flower...

I told my oldest grandson a few weeks back that there was only

Two kinds of people;

He looked at me funny, and I said we are either

Truthers or Liars

Blessings to each of you dear ones that visit my little place!

I pray these words encourage and challenge us all!

Always, Roxy

Sharing Hearts...

Sharing Hearts

This world would be a very lonely place if we did not share.

There is a race in this world that is going on for many.

A race to get to the top,

A race to get to the finishing line.

A race to be the first.

A race to be the best or number one UNO.

It is good to want to achieve good or great things!

But we must remember those around us who need help.

Some of us do not find everything easy, but rather difficult.

But rather we must be taught and encouraged.

Maybe you are in a place that you are having a hard time!
Look, if you do not belong to every club or Bible study,
or every exchange or party. You become different!
Share what you can!
Do the portion you can and do not allow the enemy to rob you of your peace!

May we have the motto;

Leave no one behind, (who is trying)

I cannot push you, and I do not want to pull you.

But I can share!

May we share the love of Christ!

We can share our toys.

We can share our joys.

We can share what we are learning as women, wives and mothers.

We are called to train, and to encourage one another.

Learning To Take Responsibility No Matter How Beautiful Or Pretty...

Learning to take Responsibility!

We all need to be doing this!

We need to be teaching ourselves this very thing!

Our children and grandchildren must have this character trait!

Sometimes just because someone is cute or pretty;

We do them a harm when we do not hold them responsible!

If we do not have this character trait we will be in trouble!

~Well, it's not my fault~

Look BEAUTY is a wonderful thing...

But it STINKS when it's the focus of a issue and not the heart of the matter.

Look, if you were there, you play a part!

It takes two!

Well, in our society we have many that can start a fight with themselves!

Many will not even take responsibility for themselves!

We still want to blame someone else rather than to take responsibility.

It all started in a garden---

Then the man said,

"The woman whom YOU gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."

Genesis 3:12

But I think my favorite blame scripture is this one,

"They gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf"

Exodus 32:24

Seriously...

Look learn to see when you are wrong and admit to yourself and to others!

Especially those that have been hurt in the crossfire!

Do you really think you're fooling yourself or GOD?

But when we take responsibility for our wrong attitudes or behavior;

We can call it what it is SIN!

We can ask God to forgive us and start over;

Fresh and clean!

What I Really Think, You Little Rascal...

What I really Think...

Enjoying this season of my life as I have enjoyed all the others!

Sometimes we can miss the simple joys of our everyday lives;

By always thinking that there is something better!

Or living in the past because we thought it was so great!

Come up with some new plans and ideas to enjoy this NOW season.

Be funny and make someone smile!

Be a better wife!!

Learn a new skill!

A good and happy life is something we can create...

The power to love and not give up is what a good woman should do!

Are you ready to give up?

Well, wait three days...

We can all recall a time when you might have been down or weary;

But each time we have overcome those feelings!

I am a lady that desires to enjoy my days!

Cooking and cleaning become a joy!

Loving my husband is a God honoring mission!

We cannot become a prisoner in our own homes just because,

The world has gone crazy!

Stretch your imagination...

Clean out the old of what is no longer useful!

Keep what brings you joy!

Purpose in your heart to bring God honor in your days!

Enjoy the lonely days

Enjoy the quiet

Enjoy this season!

We must teach the younger women how to

Love their children and their husbands;

But we must also teach them how to live a healthy life once

They have done this great calling!

What I really think!

The Best Is Yet To Come...

Enjoying Having Chickens On The Homestead & Mc Murray Hatchery Company...

Having Chickens

I truly think chicken's are the very prettiest when it is this time of year!

They are very fat and they have all their feathers!

I have had the pleasure of having chickens for years!

I love getting fresh eggs!!

During the long winter months they stop laying completely for a few months.

But as soon as it starts to warm up they start blessing us again!

I do not let them free range very often because they really are

very destructive!

They also will start laying their eggs in spots that you may never find them!

Also, we have foxes and coyotes that would love a chicken dinner!

Plus we have three dogs and I feel that it is such a great temptation for them!

I usually get a new batch of baby chicks about every two years;

Then I can keep a newer, younger hen in the flock.

But I have some very old hens that are just plain fat and I am sure they don't

Lay eggs anymore. But they are like the old girls in the flock.

Just because they are old I still love having them!

They are just fat and fluffy!

I have had a few that are really mean!

Those ones don't stay around very long

(Can't trust them with the grandkids)

One thing that I have enjoyed about having chickens other than

getting fresh eggs, is that they will eat all the left over

scrapes of food and anything past the safe date to serve

the family. Also, any peelings and sour milk they love!

Then I don't feel bad that something has gone bad;

I just feed it to the chickens!!

We have two roosters and it gives just enough competition for the top rooster!

My plan is to order some new chicks real soon!

I order from a company called

MCMURRAY HATCHERY DOT COM

I have a small special box I keep in the barn with a heating lamp!

I keep them there till they can't fit through the holes in the chicken wire.

And they hop around like a jackrabbit!

Do you have some funny memories of chickens?

Actually, many people are afraid of chickens!

Blessings,
 Do not give up hope Spring is a coming...
