How The Full Moon Affects Me...

The Full Moon

I have always been effected from a full moon,

Even as a child it caused me to not be able to sleep.

Sometimes I am not even aware that it is close to the phase of a full moon.

But I believe it affects my sleep and causes me to feel a bit unsettled.

I was listening to a sermon that talked about when the sun and the moon

Will grow dark and the stars will not be visible. 

And he said that the oceans would just go crazy, because it comes

In and out with the pull of the sun and moon cycle.

The moon is responsible for the ebb and flows of the tides

Look, I am not talking about howling at the moon;

But rather the lack of sleep I get from about a couple of days,

Prior to each months full moon.

Here are just a few scriptures that speak about this.

Luke 21:25

Acts 2:20

Joel 2:31

Matthew 24:29

I think the full moon is so very pretty!

I love taking pictures of it!

When the full moon comes every month, I just try to rest in my bed,

And meditate on God's Word!

To lift others up in prayer!

To just listen to scriptures on my Bible radio!
This little radio is the coolest thing ever!
I bought mine on Amazon in NKJV

Or to just read in bed using my handy book light!

That little book light is the best idea ever.

I think we always need to be aware of how different seasons and situations
Affect our body chemistry.

Taking all things in stride...
Ebb and Flow

Nature does affect us and we should always consider how,
 Rainy days and windy days make us feel.
Sunshine and blue skies and all is right!
But snow storms, thunderstorms
And Full Moons
Yikes
But just rest on this;
This too shall pass...

Tonight The Moon Is Full
Sweet Dreams
Always, Roxy

Why I love To Wash Dishes In My Own Kitchen...

I So Enjoy Washing My Dishes...

Call Me Crazy

But I just find washing my dish's so calming;

I have a dishwasher and I use it,

But what I so enjoy is taking a sink filled with dirty dishes;

And watching the fresh hot water mixed with soap bubbles do its work.

Life is just filled with troubles!

So much dirty work to be done around the home.

But I find great satisfaction in things becoming clean.

But I think the thing I enjoy the most is the soothing hot water!

A soapy sponge and the rhythm of wash and rinse.

I find myself just praying and thanking God for his provisions.

Sometimes it is the simple daily household chores that can bring peace.

It is a chore that can be done without having to think;

It's a job that has been done for centuries.

I for one really always try to get the kitchen clean and tidy every night.

I think over the years I have actually washed my cares, right down the drain!

Soap and hot water has made such a difference in the world.

I mean this, because before we knew the value of sanitation.

Many people died of diseases!

My Mother use to say it cost very little to be clean!

This should encompass  all things;

 Cleansing our bodies and washing our hair!

 Our homes will shine if we will just use a little soap and elbow grease.

But the sweet part about all this is that it should be enjoyable!

Another day has come and gone!

My dishes are clean and ready for the next day's work!

We can say the kitchen is the heart of the home...

Take the time to enjoy washing and rinsing and giving thanks.

Good Night

Love, Living From Glory To Glory

I Choose...

I Choose...

We have so many choices to make each and every day!

So many times we do not realize the power in our choices.

Positive and Negative

Remember the saying;

You have made your bed now lie in it.

Now, what the heck does that mean?

To suffer ones consequences of their choices.

When you have made a bad decision.

Look, we have all made some bad choices!

But we can live in a grace provided for us.

I do believe we can leave that bed of a bad decision.

We can make a new and wiser or better choice today!

Every day is a new day!

We can choose to do better

We can choose to not associate with the wrong people.

We can choose to move in a safer direction.

So any times we are given red flags in life situations;

But we lacked either wisdom or did not want to put forth the effort.

So many problems in the world today.

But YOU can CHOOSE the GOOD things!

A bad attitude or stinking thinking we cause an array of symptoms.

Sometimes the situations take a long time to change;

But while we walk through the fire we can choose.

I remember hearing a pastor say one time that every year,

We have the choice to make it to church at least;

52 times... Each year

We all have the same amount of time every day, and every year!

Today and Tonight and Tomorrow...

We can overcome by the Blood of the Lamb

Get out of the bed of bad choices;

Arise and do better!

It truly is the gift of wisdom to say NO to the condemnation...

Look, I for one will put on my Rose Colored Glasses,

And look at my life with Love and Hope and Forgiveness.

Arise and the Lord will scatter your enemies;

If you will look to the hills where Your help comes from!

I will lift my eyes to the hills-

From whence comes my help?

My help comes from the Lord,

Who made heaven and earth

Psalm 121:1-2

Always living and growing in HIM...

Impulse Buying Or Giving Thanks...

Impulse Buying

I have had this word rolling around in my head for days now.

Impulse Buying...

What does this mean?

What are the ramifications of this type of behavior?

So, now I ask myself;

Self are you buying this thing as in impulse reaction to a need or a want?

Self says, but it's on sale and I love the way it looks.

So as I have been pondering my own reaction and response to shopping.

If I will just stop and learn to give thanks for what I already have,

And stop just buying things and stuff...

Just because it's on sale or your buying two and get one half off.

And all these discount coupons from major stores and sale sheets,

you get weekly

Are just really all a gimmick to get me and you to buy!

Now, it does not even matter if I already have two of them!

Really?

We all have heard by now of the availability of ordering your groceries online.

 Now at first I thought this was ridiculous.

But I did put in my first order last week,then I picked my items up,

 On the very next day!

And you know what I got?

ONLY Everything that my shopping list had on it.

NO extra cookies, NO extra Junk Foods, NO Candy

And all I could think of was how much money I saved!!

Truly, we are creatures of sense of smell, and all that looks appealing!

So when you can learn to think before you just buy something;

You can retrain your brain and change your purchasing habits.

I want to use my monies wisely!

I want to purchase good wholesome food!

I want to use what I purchase!

What is impulse buying?

It is when we purchase something without considering the cost or need!

There is a consequence to buying things that are not needed!

We train ourselves and feed our temptations with stuff!

After all, we live in a world of consumerism till we overflow.

Well, here is where I am...

I hope to buy what I need and enjoy what I have!

To be mindful of all that I purchase...

And I have made a resolution to not make any resolutions!

That way I bet I can keep to my resolution this time!

~SMILES~

I just hope to always try to do better!

As Always,

Beware Of A Wandering Heart...

~ A Wandering Heart ~

"As a bird that wandereth from her nest,

So is a man that wandereth from his place."

Proverbs 27:8

So many hearts want to wander off into either their imagination.

Which can turn into lust; Wanderlust is not a very stable trait to have.

A woman that allows her heart to wander from her home will develop

into a possible habit of impulse.

Longing for what you have not been given.

An urge to always be leaving her home.

There is an old saying of those that always traveled.

"Wanderlust would not allow her to stay long in one spot."

Some more thoughts on the word wander;

To walk or move leisurely.

To walk aimlessly

To dawdle about

To ramble about

To meander means to:

 zigzag, wind, twist, turn, curve, curl, bend, snake...

~ Usually without a plan or a definite purpose ~

An irregular direction or course.

There are many that do not even know when they are well off,

But become uneasy and not content with their present condition.

God, in his providence has appointed us a place!

Learn to stay with your nest, do not abandon your post;

When you wander either in your heart or imagination,

You will be absent and not be able to do your own work at home.

Look, I am not talking about a yearly vacation or a lovely trip.

I am referring to a person who will not settle into her life and home.

Do not become a wandering bird that hops from bough to bough,

That rest nowhere, as it becomes unsafe.

The bird that wanders is exposed!

And will leave her eggs subject to danger!

When we leave our nests too often or too long;

Our work and job can become neglected!

~ May I not leave my home or work undone ~

I do not want to meander through this life...

I want to follow closely to my Father's plan!

Remember, we can make our homes into safe and cozy castles.

But in order to get stuff done, we need to stay home!

And once again, I am not talking about going out to lunch or shopping!

We all need to get out,

 I am referring to the wanderings of your heart!!

Do not allow your heart to leave HOME dear ones...

As Always, Living From Glory To Glory
