Blurred Vision...

Artist Chase, William Merritt



Seeing Clearly...

Are you taking your cue from the status of worldly thinking?
We need a higher perspective; It is all not as it appears to be!
We can stretch a little further and seek the truth about any given
situation that we see going on in our world.
Let's face it;
This World Is a needy Place

Do not go there for sustenance.

Everything in this world is going faster and faster,

Some days it feels like it could spin out of control.

People walk around looking for the meaning of life.

Days are passing in a blur for most.
And we as children of God, do not have to see things as blurred.
God sheds His light on all things, so we can see the truth clearly!

Stop in the name of love!

His Love

If you could just really stop and take a moment to speak words of love and encouragement.
 Enjoy the little things in life!

Now is the time...

Live every day on purpose!

Yours, Roxy

All Wrapped Up...

Christmas Spirit

Jesus came to us wrapped in a swaddling cloth.
  He was laid in a manger which is a food trough.
He came to be our bread, our living substance.
  He was born in a town called Bethlehem, which means bread.

He was wrapped and presented to the world as a gift to us from God!

Now what is all this reference to wrapping mean?

I believe He was wrapped up for us so we could be free from
 all this stuff that keeps us all tied up inside and out.

He was wrapped in burial cloths after He died for our sins.

Yet even the grave clothes or tomb could not keep Him wrapped up.

We can either allow this world to tie us up or we can say no.

He came wrapped in our behalf.

We also have a gift we can give out wherever we go it is His light that is within us, as we live and have our being in Him we can be a light wherever we go...

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Blessings Always, Roxy

Giving Thanks...Always

 THANKSGIVING...

May we all stop and give thanks to the Lord for His many blessings!

This is one of the sweetest privileges as we have a time to truly count and ponder our blessings!
 And then to give thanks for them daily!

This is an old picture I found at a garage sale many years ago.
What a sweet little girl praying to her Father in Heaven...
 It has been one of my very favorites for years.
 This photo of it that I took looks as if the glory of God is upon it!
 The Lord has told us that as we draw close to Him, he will draw close to us.
 That is a promise that I take to heart every day.

Blessings to each and every one of you!

~May God's glory be upon our hearts and homes always~

Corn, Sweet Corn, A Time Of Abundance...

A time of abundance...

Hey, eating sweet corn around these parts is pretty serious business!

And we take our job seriously.

 I am so blessed and delighted at God's sweet abundance and provision in this land of plenty.

 This is one of my sweet grandson and my husband  (My Boaz)

This is a time of abundance in your life. 

Your cup runneth over with blessings.

 My kingdom is not about earning and deserving; it's about believing and receiving.

Will you receive My abundant blessings with a grateful heart?

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians4:19

One thing we can do when we have an abundance of something,
Is to learn to preserve and put back;
We need to learn to can or freeze the surplus!
~Then we still have a portion when in times of lack~

At the time of harvest be wise, my friends...

Blessings, Roxy

A New Name...

What's Your Name?

To him who overcomes... I will give him a white stone with a new name written on it,

Known only to him who receives it.

Revelation 2:17b

New names indicate new beginnings: Abram became Abraham,

Sarai became Sarah,

What is in a name? I just think it really means so much!

That is why we need to allow the Holy Spirit
 to break-up our fallow ground!

 For we have a stone waiting in heaven with our new name on it.

~ And this new name could be in the making or in the process ~

" Through the refining of our character while here on earth"

Just a thought!

Blessings,

A Hand Stitched Apron... A Lovely Gift...

Here is my lovely apron that was made for me, it was such a beautiful material

  And hand stitched  and made with much love and diligence.

 It was so much fun to receive an apron in the mail.

 My apron is like a rose garden, a light green background and pink and red roses,

 with a splash of violets!

.

Will we sew in heaven?

 I love to think on those things, will we get to read a good book?

Kiss those we love and listen to those songs that brings happiness to our hearts.

God created us each to love and creating was His idea.
 I love to be inspired and to learn new things.
 So thanks to all my blogging sisters, let's grow and create homes of love and peace together.

Country Kitchen...

My Sweet Amy 's Kitchen

I made new Curtains for her

Country kitchen.

Red and white curtains  "Just say Country"

Bright Red Walls...

I had just a ball making these curtains for my daughter in law's kitchen. She is such a blessing to me. She really loves to cook and bake! She brought over some yummy pumpkin bread. See what a little update in a kitchen can inspire!  We both love being keepers of our homes.

She is clothed with strength and dignity; She watches over the affairs of her household. Psalms 31

I have been blessed with a Daughter by marriage who has,

been such a source of strength and JOY to our family!


I think the picture in my head when I think of a country kitchen,
Inspires me to cook and bake and to just enjoy my kitchen!

Making your kitchen the hub and center of the Home is so important!

It is fun to update your kitchen curtains once in a while.
A pretty new bowl for the table with fruit in it!

Keeping the counters clean and de-cluttered helps so much!

Whether your kitchen is a country or modern in design or decorated;
It is so important for it to be cheery and have the items needed to prepare 
Nutritious foods and lovely atmosphere!

Reading That Will Not Harm... Hank The Cowdog...

Hank The Cow Dog...

This is our dog, her name is Bella and if she had been a boy dog, I would of loved to have named her Hank.

Hank is one of my favorites of all dog names. Because of my love of the series about

Hank the Cowdog. The author is John R. Erickson. Now it is so cute and funny and Hank has been in always some sort of predicament. Good clean reading for young and old. My grandsons love to hear me read from these books.

I have been in a unique position to help and talk with a couple of grown women who were not so blessed to have been offered or censored their reading as young children and their youth years. And they now deal with fears and have had open doors of the occult in their hearts and minds
They are having many battles with their thoughts on all sorts of things, That I will not mention!
  

They know that it is because of all the material they were exposed to!

Now this is where I am going with this thought, these women have come seeking help and wanting all these thoughts and images to go away. So as the Lord is leading I will be able to help them to renew their minds with the Word of God.

The Point: Be very aware of what you let your children read or yourself as I believe the enemy is planting a bunch of his lies into the minds and hearts through his plan to hook young readers into fantasy and occult and evil mysteries.

 Now here is a real good way to discern if it's OK to read a certain book,
 Would the Lord be glorified or grieved by you reading it?
