SWEET WORDS

 

Happy First Day of Winter

 

Today is the new beginning of another season.

May we not grow weary in doing good.

 

We are in the last few days of Christmas preparation's,

and baking and wrapping and visiting friends.

Family members may be arriving for Christmas.

 

It may seem like something is coming to an end,

Ye, another season and new beginning is come.

 

I always like to make a challenge

for myself, each new season.

This season is to:

Be mindful of my words...

 

SWEET WORDS

 

Put on tender mercies,

kindness, humility,

meekness, longsuffering.

Colossians 3:12

 

Sometimes in the hurry and bustle

we can become careless and hurt those

we love ,with our words.

Like one gals blog she said lets not be Grinchy

 

Instead of hurling angry words

That wound and stir up strife,

Use words of kindness, filled with love,

That heals and nourish life. -Sper

 

I pray everyday that the Lord

would set a guard over my mouth.

 

Blessings To All, Roxy

 

 



Happily Married

Christmas Memories

 

When I stop to think of all the Christmas's past. my heart

wells with love.

For because of God's great mercy He gave me

a husband that loved me well.

 

It was not always as great as it is now.

But there was so many things we did not understand, or know about

in those first couple of years.

 

A great marriage is a relationship

that must be nourished and prayed over daily.

It is learning to love and esteem the other better then yourself.

 

It is about putting them first and his needs.

 

Dying to myself was most painful as a young

self centered spunky gal.

 

As a newly married women I had no one to mentor me in

 the skills of being a Godly women.

And most importantly a Godly wife.

 

We both new something was not right, but we had no

examples to follow and we had no maturity

in the word of God.

 

But in God's great mercy he made us aware of a  conference,

that was for marriages.

We went and it was a whole weekend filled with:

How to have a Godly Marriage.

 

What we learned that weekend was truly a gift from the Lord.

The truth is not always easy.

But the truth will always bring life , love and hope.

 

My desire and prayer as I walk in this marriage,

is to be an example to others.

And to have an encouraging word.

 

Marriage is what God had in His heart,

so we had someone to share this life with.

 

Encourage yourself in your own marriage,

and make the effort to honor and cherish your mate.

 

Ask God for the help and resources you may need,

to make your marriage strong, and wonderful.

I still reach for my books to read about how to be a Godly wife.

It is like a good recipe, tried and true,

yet at times you need to add a little pinch of this,

or a dash of that.

 

Blessings,Roxy



Jolly St. Nick

Jolly St.Nick

 

I so enjoy the idea of the history of

St. Nicholas.

What the whole history is I don't know,

but the concept is the idea of giving.

 

It is wonderful to give!

Yet this can be a time where we give things that are

just stuff.

 

What is it that people really need?

 

"Not toys or stuff"

 

But rather something that will not perish

or fad away.

 

I want to shout from the roof tops to tell everyone,

of the wonderful gift, that was given to me.

 

My heart jumps with laughter and glee:

For my saviour

JESUS CHRIST

saved me!

 

So, now let me give YOU,

the gift he has given me.

 

Ask Jesus to come into your heart,

and ask Him to lead you and guide you

in His narrow way.

 

Now, you will know the most famous

giver of ALL.

For God so loved the world he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish
but have eternal life.
John 3:16

Have a blessed Christmas everyone!

 

Blessings, Roxy

Hubbies Day

I Told You There Would Be Days Like This!

 

 

I just wanted to give a glimpse of my hubbies day yesterday.

 

Honey, I am gonna take your car in for an oil change.

I am gonna get new wiper blades put on also,

just in case we ever get any moisture.

 

Ok, I say to him.

 

He leaves early morning with no breakfast,

I say honey aren't you gonna eat?

No I will just grab a cinnamon roll.

 

An hour later the phone rings...

Well Rox, your two front tires are shot,

"What! we put two new ones on just last year

they were suppose to last a long time"

 

Well, the alignment was out on your car and now there ruined.

 

Ok, I say to him.

 

An hour later the phone rings...

Well Rox , your brakes are shot on your car!

 

"What you gotta be kidding me"

 

Well your brake pads are shot also on all four wheels.

and the rotors are ruined on the back.

I am gonna have to go to the bank!

 

An hour later the phone rings...

 

Can you come get me?

 It's gonna take a few hours to get the brakes done.

 

I drive into town and pick him up at the garage.

 We go eat as he is starved.

 

We had a nice lunch and we talked.

We had to laugh,

as you have all had one of those days.

 

I did get my oil changed :)

 

 

My hubby takes such good care of me!

 

Blessings, Roxy

Divine Weapons

Choose Your Weapon!

The Word tell us we have weapons not of  this world.

Praise God!

We are in need of back-up, to know someone has your back,
is very reassuring!

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to
demolish strongholds.
2Corinthians 10:3-4

And your back-up is:
The Glory of the Lord!
For the Lord is your rear guard.

As we come out of the season of Thanksgiving,
and counting your blessings.
May we move into this Season
of Comfort and JOY.
Choose JOY!

Blessings, Roxy
