A Treasure Hunt

Real Treasures

 

Do you love a good find?

 Sometimes it is at a garage sale or a thrift shop.

  But my most precious finds have been in the quiet mornings in my special place. 

I love the Word Of God!

A treasure hunt in the Word:

 Open the Bible, do it with purpose and great expectation.

  Become a student of the word. Become consumed by God and His word.

  Expect Him to speak to you!

  It's a treasure hunt and you will always find a jewel.

  It will be worth more then silver or gold.

  Now when you find this treasure for the day, ponder it in your heart.

  Meditate upon it, think about it through your day.

  This is where the Word becomes alive and active as a two edged sword!

 

Blessings,

 

Spontaneous Combustion

Sometimes you just need to laugh!

I believe that we just need a good belly laugh,
Now, If this was my couch or dog, I would not think
that this was so funny.
But because its is not my couch or my dog.
I am cracking up!

Life can get so hard and busy all at once,
we can become very susceptible to stress.
(Ya-Think)

So, we must take necessary steps to nip this thing
in the bud.

Before we spontaneous combust!

A vacation would be my first suggestion!
Having a beauty treatment in a spa.
or
A Merry Maid for life.

But, because we live in the real world, we must
take each day and count our blessings.
And most importantly Laugh!

Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
John 16:33

Blessings,

 

 

The Promise Of Spring Flowers And Cracked Pots

I Love A Spring Bouquet Of Flowers

 

For lo, the winter is past,

The rain is over and gone,

The flowers appear on the earth;

The time of singing has come,

And the voice of the turtledove

Is heard in our land.

Song of Solomon 2:11,12

 

 

A New Tea Serving Set

 

I just wanted to post this lovely tea pot, it came with both

a sugar bowel and a creamer.

It is very old and is from England.

 

My very kind and generous husband bought this for me,

a few weeks back.

 

Isn't it just lovely?

 

We found it at an antique store in our town.

I have never had such a beautiful tea pot.

 

I was so blessed and happy, I decided to have a

dear friend out for lunch and tea.

 

Well, to my horror shortly after we finished

our lunch and tea. We noticed a crack on the tea pot,

from the top to the bottom.

I truly did cry!

 

My husband was so sorry for me...

 

Well, I still can use the sugar bowl and the creamer!

 

I will post again showing you what I did with the cracked tea pot!

 

Happy Spring!

 

Blessings, Roxy

 

 

 

Cooking Matters...

Some things will never go out of style!

A lovely black dress.

A precious set of pearls.

An engagement ring.

Some things are timeless.

As we have all seen certain fads come and go, but

There are just certain things we must hang on to!

Cooking skills are one of those things!!

We have a generation that does not know how to cook...

Who is to blame?

I will not be a part of the problem by pointing fingers,

But I rather choose to make foods so appealing,

and whole and delicious, that others will long to cook!

The aroma that can fill a home can leave a lasting legacy alone.

A soup, so comforting it fills the empty soul.

A potato so humble, yet so real.

A cookie so sweet it says I love you.

We can make our kitchens the heart of the HOME!

Inspire Yourself:

Go to the library and bring home a load of cookbooks!

Watch a cooking show.

Ask for the recipe of a friends special dish.

Host to some young ladies over for a brunch.

Inspire and teach our young cooks in the making.

Cooking Matters!

Living From Glory To Glory Blog

A Missionary For Ireland

 

Happy Saint Patricks Day!

 

This was a man that was a British missionary and bishop who

was used to convert  Ireland to Christianity.

He is the patron saint of Ireland.

 

It is sweet to see the little girl dressed up and

celebrating this special day of recognition,

for this missionary and Ireland.

 

Do we make idols of these Saints?

No

But, give honor to those who have gone before us.

 

Shamrocks and green in color!

Cabbage and new potatoes!

Corn Beef

 

It is funny how we make  up these little

traditions. 

Some have very significant meanings, and others are

just traditions.

 

Enjoy a bit of the Irish!

 

Blessings,

 

Building Bridges

Sisters In Christ

I am so blessed to be a part of a Body Of Christ!

There is much value in being connected.

Having Godly sisters who live Biblical lives,

and serve Him.

"Humility and Wisdom"

We are living in days that require us to have, wise council, and Godly examples.

Make the time to invest in Godly relationships!

I have sensed a pulling away in hospitality in these last few years.

The body is tired and way to busy.

But we all can say that once we have gotten together with others,

we go away feeling refreshed and inspired.

Ask God to choose your friendships!

Building friendship's are like building a bridge,

it takes time.

But when you do this Gods way, you can know that when

troubles or stress come.

Then the bridge in this relationship, will be able to hold the weight.

Blessings,

Roxy

Blooming In Our Lives

Pretty In Pink

I awoke before the sun came up this morning, feeling the effects of a few things.

First, the switch in the time for daylight savings now that really sets your internal clock off.

We also, just finished a week of sleeping in our living room, as we were in the long

process of painting our bedroom.

So we had our King size bed set up in our living room.

Now that was weird...

But once again, all work brings profit.

 And we also were blessed to get new carpet.

It looks amazing!

God is so good, we were in need of a refreshing touch.

I have been working hard to develop skills that are not natural

to me. Such as a (Techy) as needed for blogging.

But I can see the lure of it because it is challenging.

I do not want to say oh well and never try!

So once again, I am being home schooled in the art of

Blogging!

May Spring come soon!

I appreciate all of you wonderful ladies who comment,

and desire to connect.

Hand Written Recipe Cards...

I was just thinking the other day how sweet and wonderful it is to go through your recipe folder or box, and find all the different hand written cards you have collected. They may be tucked away but they are very much alive with memories. They hold  very sweet and special memories of all the wonderful people who have given you hand written cards, and have given them to you. 
You now have an amazing collection of history and memories!

I have some that were written by my own Mother and given to me as a new bride and wife. And I have some from my Mother in law, who was so good to me. And it brings tears to my eyes when I see all of them at times.

Memories of love,  handed  down to those we share our treasured recipe's with!
May we never stop with the hand written recipe cards. When we are asked for a copy
of a special dish we have made ,take the time to hand write some of them.
 I also like to add  who it  originally came from on it.
Lets keep the memories alive with a lovely hand writted recipe card.
Blessings, Roxy
