Love Covers A Multitude of Sins...

 

Being Filled...

How are you being filled?

So many people are feeling empty;

I think some it comes from the fast pace in our world today!

We just need to slow down and be still for a moment!

When we encourage someone, something happens to us.

We were made to be a vessel that pours out into others.

Call it affirmation, call it whatever you want.

But there is a natural and a spiritual encouragement.

And we need both!

We need each other!

And this is why when we have been rejected,

We feel a deep sense of loss and hurt.

If you live long enough, you will probably experience this.

It's very painful, because we were made to build up.

I share this because this is the month we celebrate the Love.

But we live in a world we say we love others, but true love

Takes work and dedication and suffers long.

It is patient and kind, thinks no evil,

Is not easily provoked.

Bears all things, does not behave rudely.

It is never jealous or envious.

I like to think it hardly notices when others do you wrong.

We are not to be so fragile we fall apart when we are

Looked at wrongly.

I want to love others as Christ loved me.

I want to speak the truth in love.

I want to forbear others in love.

Why??

Because God is love...

So, may I walk in love!

Perfect love in me cast out all fear!

So, what does this have to do with being filled?

We are called to encourage one another to be filled with;

LOVE...

Why?

~Because LOVE never fails~

Are you tired or weary?

Have you been hurt?

~Forgive them, and forgive yourself~

Don't be robbed of one more moment of peace and joy!

Today is a new beginning.

The old hurts or pain can no longer keep you captive.

God has given us everything in His Word to overcome!

Decide today to be an encouraging person!

Do you realize you can change a persons whole day, just by

Speaking to them with words that build them up!!

Love is an action...

~LOVE never fails~

Being an encouraging person is so needed!

"Blessings To Each Of You"

I want to thank each of you that have subscribed to my Blog posts

I Don't write as often as I use to, but when I do post I love to

Encourage others and to affirm we are loved by God!

How To Be A Faithful Steward...

 

~Desire To Be A Faithfull Steward~

"Moreover it is required in stewards that one 

Be found  faithful"

1 Corinthians 4:2

Firstly, What is a Steward?

A person who has been put in charge of something!

And I can say this, everyone has something that is

In their possession that they are in charge of.

As stewards, we are not owners.

Even if something is bought and paid for;

We are caretakers of whatever we have.

I have always known that all we have belongs to God.

Even our very breath belongs to Him!

I want to be a good steward and be responsible for what God

Has entrusted to me as His daughter!

It is a wonderful thing to be faithful...

I first began understanding how everything that I had was really God's

We are given something, and he watches to see if we are good stewards.

I mean everything...

Your clothes they must be washed and mended and hung or folded neatly.

Your car no matter how old it might be should be maintained,

Washed, cleaned inside, throw the trash out.

Smells clean...

I Truly have ridden in a car that was just plain filthy!

Until you take care of what you have you will not get anything nicer.

~Be content with what you have~

And it's not just possessions!

We are to protect and prosper our minds and heart.

You are the keeper of the body you have been given.

Remember the parable of the talents?

Well, this means you have talents that you must be mindful of

And using them to bring God glory.

And every day we all have the same amount of time.

How are you using the hours and the moments?

Being a good steward is about being faithful.

And it includes our motive in everything.

It starts with the little things...

Give and be generous to others.

Generosity is huge!

You have been given unique gifts and talents for the whole;

Wherever he directs you to use them!

But it always starts with the Home!

Use your energy wisely

Use your money with accountability

Treat your home like a castle!

Be a blessing to your family and friends.

Be thankful...

Be grateful...

I do hope each and every one of you is doing well!

I don't like to share just stuff on this blog,

As I dedicated it to the Lord at the inspection of it.

I could just babble on, 

But I'd rather share what he shows me in his Word.

Sending a hello and a blessing 

From My Home to Yours!

Hugs, Roxy

 

Remember JOY Is A Gift Of The Spirit...

The Greatest Gift

He came once, and He is coming again

My heart is overflowing and expectant in the coming of Christ!

He wants to draw His Church closer.

Each Christmas season we are given the chance to lean in!

Stop and quiet your heart...

This moment will be gone in a flash.

Slow down and ponder the miracle of life.

Take a moment and think about what season you are in?

Are you young and beautiful and wrinkle-free?

Are you old enough to know better??

( Have you attained wisdom from above )?

Each season holds seeds that must be sown,

not just scattered in the wind.

Winter or Springtime;

You are still required to plant;

You can either feel overwhelmed or giddy like a child.

I must remind myself, God rules time and eternity...

One way to be well equipped is to hide God's Word in your heart.

Stop the negative thoughts and emotions

Don't allow all the memories of the past to haunt your heart.

It's totally normal to miss those Christmas past!

We have lost those loved ones that have gone before us.

Kids have grown and moved away!

This year is almost gone,

But encourage yourself as a New One is right around the corner.

God makes all things new...

El Shaddai "The all sufficient One"

He is your refuge and your fortress

This New Year...

Cultivate Dynamic Devotions

His Word is His Will

An Easylife is just a fantasy for the la-la land people.

Get real with yourself, you know the hard times always

Taught you something and strengthened your resolve.

We all have spiritual muscle's and if we don't use them we will

Become weak and weary and of no effect to be used.

Look back and remember how faithful God has been to you!

Every one of us can attest to the goodness of God!

Don't allow the enemy to steal the true Joy

Joy is a gift of the spirit, you have it!!

You just have to activate it every single day!

I have a little sign that says,

~Today I choose JOY~

Hugs And Blessings

Always, Roxy

A Homemaker In The Making...

Painting By Morgan Weistling

Are you still making your home lovely and cozy?

It seems to be the one place that calms our hearts,

And fill us with that sweet peace...

If you will just focus on your space that has been allotted to you.

You will become blessed and content.

For when we give our homes the light and the love it craves.

You will have a treasure to share and a place to build memories.

We can be simple and clean and lovely.

A home has a heart and it beats with each breath of each day.

Remember the quote

~There's no place like Home~

The world has grown strange to me.

I find a true biblical woman long for those days of

Our children being young and at

 home or now maybe our grandchildren

Or Great Grandchildren.

 And how it reminds of so many memories.

Time is flying, and I am just slowing just enough to grasp

All the sweet pleasures of home.

Even if they are just memories, I'm rich to remember them!

Don't give up the biblical stance to bless and watch over

Our Homes!!

The enemy has tried to deceive us in so many ways.

But we have determined that this fight is worth it!

Our life on this earth is so brief...

You blink and another day has come and gone.

So may we just remember no matter how old we are;

We are still a homemaker in the making!

Never get old or bitter, no matter the reason!

We are to shine bright!

Learn new things

Love deeper

Be Quiet

Make sure you have smile lines

~Prepare a feast of crackers and butter and jam and tea~

For you my dearest friends;

You are the Queen of Your Homes

So many things have changed;

" Everything changes except God"

You are still being used and bringing glory to God

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me.

Psalms 138:8

Catch a little joy, and keep it close to your heart!

Plod on sweet friends...

One day we will all meet.

What a day of rejoicing that will be...

Hugs and Blessings

Yours, Roxy

Keep Alert, Keep Busy, Stealth Mode...

Hunting...

This is the time of year many will go hunting;

It's a thing that many find so rewarding.

Getting out into nature, many do it together as a family.

For some, the meat will sustain them through the cold months.

I have always thought of myself as a meat and potatoes gal.

Nothing wrong with salads and fresh fruits and vegetables.

But my body has always thrived on cooked foods.

Elk meat has always been my most favorite meat!

I have not been blogging much lately as my last Blog post

Went absolutely viral, 

Only a few comments from my regular sweet blogging friends.

I feel like we are being watched and monitored!

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the divide got wider.

I pretty much prefer a quiet life,

But I will not be silenced.

Something is strange about this time of year;

So many Christians still celebrate Halloween.

Christians vote Democrate's in and claim to be Christians.

Headlines on social media and articles everywhere

Are vying for my attention.

I want my own brain and thoughts back;

I will not comply with what they are telling me.

When I stay in the Word and do what is required of me.

I live in truth, not some AI reality.

I have a brain, and I also have the mind of Christ!

We just returned from a trip where we traveled over 3500 miles.

The trip allowed us to have a different perspective.

We met so many friends and family we have known and loved

For years, but we had little in common when it came to Christ!

Okay, this may be just a ramble, but if I ever get arrested

for being a Christian, will there be enough evidence to convict me?

Here are a few one liners:

Take control of what you think

Stop reading the headlines; their bias

Somebody is lying

Beliefs shape your life, So be careful what you believe.

The Lord has given me abundant life (John 10:10)

Each day is a gift! Unwrap slowly...

Never yield to the gloom. Never let the darkness into

Your soul.

Pray, Be Kind, Use gentle Words

Soul prosperity- It is well with my soul

God will use the ordinary things in your life;

They become extraordinary when His hand is upon it!

Keep, Keeping On

May we not become Lukewarm

Hugs, And Blessings,

Roxy
