A Sweet Fragrance

A Lovely Fragrance

 

It is a very distinctive and pleasant beauty secret.
 

Our sense of smell is a powerful and complex

thing. We can experience a pleasure by a
lovely fragrance.

I think a very  easy and wonderful beauty secret is to
always wear a fragrance daily.

A light spray or splash of a fragrance you
 love helps you to feel
feminine and pretty.

I have always loved White Shoulders Perfume.

I also have many others I like,
 a sweet Jasmine scent
is amazing. 

 Also, Giorgio I saved this one for special occasions!

I have sweet memories of my Mother
wearing Emeraud Perfume.
It still invokes a very precious memory.

I love to hear someone say; you smell good!
(Especially my hubby)

I have even found a couple spray colognes from the Dollar Store,
That were really quite nice.

The soul deep in prayer

As a hyacinth

Stretches its pillar bloom,

Feelers of fragrance unseen,

To the edge of the room.

The Secret Garden

      Welcome 

Enter His gates with thanksgiving!

Take time in this moment

and walk in.

I love the sweet and endearing idea of a gate.

It can just beckon us to come in, as we wonder

what is behind the gate.

I like to think of the secret garden story

or anyone of the books I have read.

That will say something like; as we strolled in the garden .

We really can go to those places

in our imagination.

In our very busy days I have been really feeling the need.

To enter into the place He has given me.

The secret place.

What are some of the things that the Lord has

given you to find pleasure?

This morning I brought out the material pieces,

I have been buying that just caught my eye.

I began cutting out for myself some new aprons.

My aprons are really showing their age. :)

Take pleasure my dear friends in those 

moments of His presence.

So we can carry on and manage our

Homes in peace and Joy. 

Blessings, Roxy   

            

                               

                 

                      

Dwell In Possibilities

The Beginning Of Wisdom



Happy New Year
2013

My sweet hubby got home this morning and he
said you want to see something really cool?
I said yes, and he said follow me.
We went outside in the freezing daybreak. 
A light
  cover of frosty snow on everything.
He pointed out into the eastern sky, and to
our amazing eyes was the most
 magnificent rainbow.

Now that was a sign from the Lord:

For this was a very personal message to us.
When we were married 30 years ago,
we chose the rainbow as our symbol
for our wedding, and our vows.

I believe God allows us certain sweet signs to encourage us!
Now what better sign for Him to give us to see on
 January 1, 2013
But a rainbow!
 

May this message encourage you!

May we all Dwell in Possibilities:
With God all things are possible!

Blessings, Roxy

Bible Reading Plan

Bible Reading

We are on the thresh hold of another new year.

It is a new beginning of so many things.

It is a great time to re-examine  your daily Bible reading

Schedule. Or maybe to use a new Bible all together.

I have just started a new Bible study myself, it will help me

to get focused. I need to get back on track, after the busy

holidays. My morning time with the Lord needs to be

Refreshed and organized,

Here is a list of a few ideas:

1. Clean off the area you will be using (desk, table etc.)
2. Get a new journal for notes and prayer request.
3. Have your concordance and a dictionary handy.
4. Have a good pen and a highlighter.
5. Choose a couple of good devotionals to read.
6. Get yourself a copy of a Bible reading chart.
7.  Use a Bible you can write and highlight in.

Make a place ready to meet with Him.
May you cherish your quiet time,
and it becomes a treasure to you.

Be a wise woman and seek Him daily!

Here is a web site to print out a Bible reading plan
For this New Year 
Bible Reading Plans

Go to Discipleship Journal
There are 4 different plans to choose from.
Print and enjoy!

Christmas Day

The Stable
Where Christmas Started

Oh come let us adore Him





May you find comfort in
this season.


Salvation that gives purpose of living.
Thanksgiving that beholds God

Hope that keeps us in Christ until heaven or until He returns

Truth that will prevail over every false thing
Faith that does the impossible for God
Light that defeats all darkness
Joy that is strength beyond conditions or feelings
Freedom to please & glorify God with your life
Peace that ministers rest of heart, trusting in God's Word
Forgiveness beyond human ability that heals relationships
Blessings that ministers generosity
Life eternal that conquered death, hate and hell
An everlasting Love that redeems to full GLORY


This amazing poem is from a friend!

Thank-you to all
who share the gospel!



May the warmth of His love fill you

Blessings, Roxy

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
