Victoria Magazine Inspiration...

 

Victoria Magazines...

We all need to get inspired once in a while.

I need to flip through a magazine that says

I love my home!

Making all things Beautiful...

Can I encourage you to enjoy your home this week?

Look my home may never make a layout for a magazine;

But it will be warm and cozy and welcoming!

May we all take a little pleasure and get inspired!

Always do something even if its very small everyday...

I may not live in a romantic country stone manor;

It's more like a lovely home that is OURS...

Sending you all a good evening

Tomorrow is a New Month, A New Day!

A New Beginning...

Always,

Living From glory To glory

Almond Milk Review...

 

So Many Have Become Lactose Intolerant!

Now, as I have said before, this has become an issue for me!

For the last few years I had some pain in my stomach,

Almost every single day!

I have been drinking milk my whole life.

But as I was having these terrible pains, I would tell myself

Just drink a nice warm cup of milk as that will be soothing.

So I truly had no clue it was the milk bothering me.

I had finally decided I was going to have to go see the Dr.

Well, I just prayed and thought about what all I was eating!

And it just popped into my head

"It's the milk"

So I have quit drinking all milks,

Whole milk 2%, Lactose free

It all makes me sick!

So I have tried many different brands of almond milk

I am an almond milk connoisseur...

The one in the middle called Almond Breeze

Original

This has turned out to be the best tasting and not thick or overly sweet!

The Coconut Almond one on the right is delicious!!

But pricey $$

I buy one of these for a nice treat, almost like dessert!

The Soy Creamer is good tasting for your coffee;

But the soy did not like me!

This brand of Almond milk is good, but way too thick for me.

We Need A Few Good Men...

Why Our So Many Young Men Wimpy?

Is it because they no longer can just run and play outside?

Is it because many young boys do not have a Father at home?

Is it because the newest Fathers are addicted to video games?

It seems that the Marines must be hurting terribly for the fact we

seem to be having a shortage of a 

"Few Good Men"

I am confused as to why we cannot realize that boys NEED their Fathers!

And that young boys need to be able to play outside!

Look, I realize we may never get back to our American roots

Family and the Men who love their wives!

But I can see that the children have suffered the most!

The reason so many get into trouble is because no one

is watching them. And back in the day, even a single Mother

had a huge influence on her children.

But what is influencing our children today?

Social Media

Peers, or shall I say peeps.

You don't even see kids outside riding their bikes anymore!

Little boys need bikes to ride!

They need a wagon to pull!

They need a place to build a fort!

They need to hunt rabbits!

They need to catch frogs!

They need to learn to work with their hands!

They need to build things!

God help us!

Raise them up to be "Good Men"

And Not afraid to do right and to love what is important!

They need to learn to love and respect their Mothers!

Our country is drug infested and high as a kite!

Well, so a good dose of truth here!

Sure, we don't want to think this is true, but it is!

So pray for our youth!

First, we tell them just say NO

Now we say its okay its legal and everybody is doing it.

Living From Glory To Glory

How Lifting Up Your Husband In Prayer Is A Bit Like The Dew In The Morning...

Times of Refreshment...

Learning to lean on what's true, when you feel the push back to life...

This morning was filled with early morning fog;
And when you live in these parts its not something we have often.

But I can see that when we are moving almost in a fog;
Mentally or physically it feels heavy.

But as I went outside to take care of my chores, I did
raise my arms and thank the Lord!

The trees and the fields of grass and wild flowers need this!
I always think that if I will just take my thoughts and feelings
captive and hold on to what is really true, I can plod on!

And we are told in His word to do just that
 PLOD ON...

So when I think of how I can readjust my focus and embrace
each day as a perfect gift from my Father!

I had an idea in my head this morning of how us
Women have so many emotions and feelings,
But have you stopped to give much thought to what you're
Husband may be experiencing?

They carry way more than we may realize at times!
Just because they don't express it or share it with us.
Does not mean they are dealing with it all!

Take this day and lift up YOUR Husband...

There is something else that I was thinking
~I want a new purse~
And I need a new purse like I need a hole in the head;
But, it is something I can do that brightens up my new season!
Who wants to carry a black or brown purse in spring and summer?

So who of you also enjoy a new purse?

My Secret Place...

Washing Dish's And Praying!

(Yes, I do have a dishwasher)

But I still rinse everything off before I put them in it.

Looking Out My Kitchen Window 

In these Days We Must Stay In The Secret Place...

While doing the things that bring this Heart and HOME contentment.

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about how we can,

Have a sense of peace and contentment while doing everyday things!

We have this mentality of the mind and the makeup of a Roadrunner bird!

Beep Beep...

Get out of my way!

I  want to share with you the place where I realized was a spot that has

become my secret place in my home.

I have been doing this ritual or call it a chore every day of my

life as being a housewife or a homemaker.

(Since I wear both these hats simultaneously)

No, I do not bring home the bacon, but I do fry it up in a pan!

This secret and holy place

 " Standing at my kitchen sink"

Every day when looking out and seeing the seasons change,

I see the hand of God!

Seed time and Harvest!!

Rain Showers

Winter Snows

Wind

The children playing in the grass

The dogs romping and playing and sleeping in the afternoon sun.

When my Hubby mows the grass and I smell the freshly mowed grass!

When I look out and see a snow angel made by a grandchild.

When I hear the birds singing sweetly...

I wash my dishes and plates and cups and silverware;

And pot and pans and bowls and I give thanks!!

I find myself feeling the tension leave my heart from,

 The hot sudsy water washing away the cares and worries!

I have learned to not grumble and be irritated by so many

Dishes and such in the sink.

I pray to God for those in this household!

I lift up my many requests!

Head bowed and intently praying for the needs of others!

I also bask in the safety of my own little nook!

Away from all harms way, while I stand in this spot,

~The Secret Place~
