Taking What You Have For Granted

 

We Are Selling Our Camper

 

 

Now this is the top of the line!

It's one of it's kind...

 

Home Away From Home

(Or Not)

Maybe this is there home!! ??

 

I have always had an interest of the times of the

Great Depression.

 

There were so many people that endured such hardships.

 

We, that live in such prosperous times;

may be void of knowing hard times,
And as a result of that they

  never gained a real appreciation

for what they have!


It is pictures like these that help me to not take what we have for granted!

 

How can we appreciate what we have when we have

been inundated with consumerism?

 

 

Yet many still need help to feed themselves even today!



The last time we used our camper was a year ago so we are selling it!

My sweet hubby just had to get some hearing aids.

He is so amazed with how well he can hear!

But the cost was really expensive .

 

So, being the kind of wife my hubby needs,

was for me to say!!

Lets sell the camper so we do not have to have that huge debt over us!

 

We as women must be the help mates our hubbies need.

And being frugal and wise is one of the biggest we can be

when it is needed.

 

We should not take what we have for granted;

Our lives

Our hearing

Our food

Our provisions

 

So, may we start to appreciate what we do have!

 

Tell your hubby;

How much you appreciate how well he has provides for you,

He needs to HEAR that.

As that is how God created a man to function.

Balancing Our Time...

Balancing Our Time...

We are all given 24 hours a day.

We all have 52 Sundays in a year.

God has given us season's a time to plant and a time to harvest.

I have found that time can slip away;

So, As a manager of this home, I must manage my time!

By making priorities for each day and season's.

I can have some control!

God will one day ask me to give an account of my time.

It is very important to have wisdom in what is important,

For yourself and family.

Priorities:

Your time with the Lord!!

Without this you will not have direction or peace.

A woman of God should have the demeanor of a gentle and quiet spirit.

We can only attain this by being in His presence.

Making a list of homemaking needs for the day:

For making a choice early in the morning for what you plan to serve for dinner.

(Very Important)

Get a load of laundry going as it helps to not have that

Feeling of laundry overload!!

I always like to tackle a room of my home and get it in order.

I even like to ask my hubby if he needs me to do anything or him today.

I have found over the years, it is usually only a phone call or to go to the bank for him.

And he always is so blessed that I have tried to take a small

burden off of him.

Take some time to enjoy this season of warm weather.

Find a good book to read!

Eat ice cream!!

Swim

Love Your Family

It is the only one you have!

God has intrusted this treasure to you.

Remember to make time for the most important things!

Blessings,

Fire And Smoke

 

Colorado's Worst Forest Fires Ever!

We have eight fires burning as of tonight in our state.

 

 

It seems like when theses kind of disasters hit us,

We are forced to see how frail we are.

We are but dust...

Ashes to ashes

 

 

This is where our daughter went on her first date;

Which is totally gone.

It looks like a war zone!

With the drought conditions, we are a tinder box!

The wind rages.

The ash falls



 The smoke just billows up and up!

Firefighters do what they are trained to do.

Fight Fires!



 

The sun and moon are blood red!

 

We wait!

You cannot be outside.

Our eyes burn and water.

There is ash on everything.

 

Our hearts feel heavy...

So much loss and destruction!

 

Please pray for Colorado!

 

Blessings,



A Time For Courage

 

 

 

 A Time For Courage

  



                             

                                  
                                                                      
                                                                                         

As the revelations of the last few weeks now make abundantly clear, our freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and our freedom of religion may have never been in greater jeopardy than they are right now. The remainder of this year will likely determine whether we will remain a free people or succumb to a terrible tyranny.

The revelation that the NSA has the capacity to monitor and store all phone calls, emails, text messages, social network posts, virtually all communications in America, and very soon the world, is so shocking that it is hard for many to believe. Already the power of our Federal Government to impose totalitarian control over its people is the greatest in history.

All of these revelations and scandals are far beyond anything we have ever witnessed. They are coming at us so fast that people may go numb and just shut down. In the Book of Daniel, the devil's strategy is to attempt to "wear out the saints," and this has always been an effective strategy. However, now is not the time to shut down and throw up our hands declaring that this is too much to process. Everything we hold dear as Americans, our most basic liberties, are in serious jeopardy. It is time for courage and our most resolute determination that this is not going to happen on our watch, and that we will never give up. It is not too late.

What Can I do About It?

Blog, write, and speak every chance you get. Blogging has now surpassed the traditional media as the source of information for most Americans. Social Media is now more powerful in shaping public opinion than traditional media. Use it! Don't worry about who is monitoring it—preach to them too!
• Get engaged. Go to town hall meetings. Write to your elected officials often. Run for office. Work in campaigns. Donate time, money, and other resources. If we don't give it freely now, it will be taken from us soon.
• Don't stop because we don't seem to have quality leaders at this time—we have the greatest leader of all—King Jesus. He is the Truth, and all who love Truth will follow Him, regardless of the consequences, regardless of whether anyone else joins us.
• We must live by faith, not by fear. When the odds seem impossible is the time when the greatest leaders have arisen and the greatest miracles have been done. This is our time, and we must resolve that we will never, ever retreat or give up. Website: morningstarministries.org

I could of tried to write this post, but I could not! Why??

I am afraid! Who is watching me?

 I have been a christian for over 30 yrs, and I have never seen the time line move so fast.

 They are trying to take all that I hold dear away from me. I must say we the people, must use our voices while we still have one.

 

I will not lie , it would just be much easier  to just stay home and be quiet.

 And put my head under the covers and pretend everything is as usual! It is not!

We all need to pray and to study as to what happens to a country who has no voice.

They have already re-written some of our HISTORY.

God Bless America, Father Have Mercy on us!

But may I not be afraid to say NO to total goverment control. And to say YES to all of my freedoms.

We The People

 

Beautiful Hair

Long Beautiful Hair

 

 

 This is a real photo of a woman's hair.

I find it really remarkable that her hair was this long.

She probably had never had it cut in her entire life.

 

The word tells us women that our hair is our glory !

What does that really mean to you?

 

Does it mean we all must have hair to our feet?

Or we can  say our hair must be to the length of to here, or to here??

 

Can you tell that you are a woman?

 

Some women have gone through a very hard struggle

With their health and have lost all their hair.

 

 

When I was a young woman I had very long hair.

Red hair!

 

Now days it is much shorter, and mixed with a wisp of white.

 

I think as a woman my hair has been a source of many things.

Time consuming

Great joy from it

Fun styles

Vanity

Money

Every length

I dyed it

 

I even wore a head covering for many years.

I still wear it once in awhile in church and at home or during worship service.

 

I have learned many lessons on headship.

And I have been blessed with much grace.

 

I had a missionary friend once tell me, how after having her

Hair to her knees most her life, it was so wonderful to have

Her hair cut in a bob style.

It was so nice that her hair would dry after washing it.

And no bugs in it (really)

As she was stationed in a jungle setting.

I loved her heart concerning this whole matter.
She had submitted to her covering!

 

I always ask my hubby, what do you want me to do?

And he tells me, whatever you want honey.

I love you!

Long hair

Short hair

White hair

1Corinthians 11:15

 I would love to hear from some of you on how you view
your hair, and what you feel is important to you!
 

Blessings,

 



Treasures In A Cracked Tea Pot

 

 

 

Making all things beautiful,

in His time.

 

 

 

Here is my beautiful tea pot, but it is cracked!

My hubby bought this for me awhile back,

And at my very first tea time, it cracked from the top to the bottom.

 

 

 

What is a girl to do?

I was so very sad to think of this special treasure to be of no use.

So, I really gave this much thought;

I added flowers to it, then a plant.

It just did not look right!

 

I was reminded of the scripture that speaks of us as being,

A treasure in an earthen vessel.

 

So, I thought what treasure do I have I could put into this

cracked tea pot ?

 

Pearls

Not fake pearls, but real ones!

(My Momma's Pearls)

 

I am so thankful that just because,

I have a few cracks, that God still finds useful

things for me to be used for!

For He calls me one of His treasurs!

 

 

 

Here is the complete set;

Tea Pot

Sugar Bowl

Cream Pitcher

 

 

Blessings,

 

 



Advice From The Ocean

Bringing Your Life Into Sync With His Flow

 

I must say that the ocean has its own way,

 It comes in and it goes out again.

It does what it was created to do!

It does not need anyone to remind it to come in or to go out.

Yet, It does it with such purpose and grace.

It can be so powerful and rough.

The magnificent colors of blues and greens.

 There are times it is black as night and with gray and white caps that explode.

It seems it is out of control!

 

But it knows its boundaries;

It must recede,

God is in control!

 Advice from the Ocean

 

Everything has a lesson in it...

 

 

 

My treasure by the ocean,

My daughter and me!

May we live a life filled with love and laughter,

But know we sow in tears.

Sow in love and may faith make it grow.

Experience it all for joy comes in the morning.

 

 

Blessings,

Smooth Hand And A Cool Touch

My Smart Phone was returned today!

WHAAAAA!

I am going to tell you something...

And...

I am not making this up!

 

Know matter how hard or easy I swiped my finger

Over the screen it would do nothing.

Natttta Nothing

ZIP...

 

Everyone else had no problems swipping and pulling up

 Any app or enlarging the context.

 

I am like what the heck !!

 



Silly Rabbit

So I got this one to replace it!

 





$$$$$$$$

Not Really !

  

 

 

They told me because I have too cold of finger tips,

And to smooth finger tips, the phone could not

pick up the touch.

 

They actually felt sorry for me in the store.

They said we know it is not something you could help.

 

So I now am a proud owner of a new updated

Stupid Phone :)

 

Some things are just made to last!



Call Me!

 

Blessings,
