Her Mouth


 
 
She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom,
And on her tongue is the
Law of kindness!
 
(Giving counsel and instruction).
Proverbs 31:26
 
 
What is this Law of Kindness??
Is this a real law?
 
Yes, If you want to be a Proverbs 31 Woman.
 
Are we not warned in the Word to not be foolish!
 
What makes a woman look foolish?
It will mostly come from her mouth and the words she speaks.
 
 
What does skillful and godly Wisdom words,
sound like?
 
(Godly, wise, and kind).
 
 
Are we to be giving counsel and instruction in our sphere of
influence's?
 
Yes, we are dear ones!
 
We can grow in wisdom as we study and pray.
Seek wise counsel ourselves on subjects of our homes
To know how to manage them better.
 
You will never be an expert on everything and all matters.
But we can ask God for wisdom!
 
To many foolish things spoken;
 will be tearing down your own home.
 Gossip, slang and critical words, bring condemnation.
These ways of speaking would not be under the heading
of the Law of kindness.
 
We all have a wonderful resource of information,
that we can use, to be
 able to give wise counsel and instructions
as needed !
 
Study the book of PROVERBS!
You can use this for wise counsel, as it is
perfect and sound.
 
Reading Proverbs daily and applying it will
help make you skillful in wisdom.
 
But here is the KEY;
You must speak these truths in KINDNESS.
(Your tone, and your volume being used )
Belittling,
 Feelings of condemnation.
Self righteous are not showing kindness.
 
I am always working on this very thing;
As it is what will set me apart.
And to be used for His Kingdom.
 
 
 
Many times in the Proverbs it will start with
Open your mouth;
It is what comes out that is important!
So may I be slow to speak and quick to hear.
(Read James 1:19)
Blessings,
Roxy

Fall Decor

Decorating For Fall
 
This is my first time for taking all my other treasures
off my mantel and doing a theme for the Fall season.
 
I really enjoyed myself , while shopping for the decor!
My favorite item was the wooden blocks,
that spelled out Harvest!
 
I changed out the candles from the cream yellow
To a rustic orange color.
And I added a bouquet of Fall flowers to my vase.


I have this neat old looking metal basket,
that I just had to use for something.
 
So, I added my Fall corn and mini pumpkins in it!
 
It has been enjoyable to see the festive Fall colors.
 
It just brings a cozy atmosphere to the room!
We Girls are all about cozy and comfortable...
 
Happy Fall To All!!
 
Blessings,
Roxy

Boo!


The Friendly Ghost!
 
This is a test!
 
Our there friendly GHOSTS?
 
Anyone, who really has their eyes open, can see the
spirit of death has swooped down upon this culture!
 
Is it okay to scare and put fear in one another?
 
How do you think the Spirit of God feels,
When we put before us things that are about
death, and monsters, and evil creatures!
What about making satan look cute?
Does this grieve the Holy Spirit?
YES, it does dear ones!
 
Do we open the door to the spirit of fear,
By interacting with these kinds of behavior's?

Many cool and popular clothing lines,
are plastered with skeletons!
Why are we glorifying the darkness?
Evil is real!
It is not cute or fun or pleasing to God!


We are looking more and more like this culture
of death!
Wanting to be scared and watching things that bring,
death and fear!
He told us to stay away from the appearance of EVIL...
Not promote it!
BEWARE:
 
A spirit of fear can come upon you or your children,
Just by subjecting them to these things,
 that say death and fear!
I am telling you this because, as a child this very thing
happened to me!
 
I ask you dear ones to protect their hearts and minds!
This is the time to teach them about discernment and
the difference between
Good and Evil!

We must only celebrate the death and burial and
Ressurection of Jesus Christ!
 
 
Blessings,
Roxy

Too Much

 
 
These last two weeks have been too much!
 
When do we as women finally learn to say enough?
 
There are so many things to do!
And most of these things can be really good things.
But having to be up and gone very early,
For too many days in a row becomes
 Very disruptive in being able to keep myself,
And my home in smooth running order!
 
 And being over extended is not wise!
 
Something always has to give!!
My time with the LORD??
No way...
 
Forget the laundry?
It doesn't go away it just piles up!
 
Forget making a good home cooked meal?
Pizza or Popcorn!
 
Dust Bunnies gone wild?
They are not family pets!
 
WAIT....
I am a Home  Maker!
Should I be at home??
 
Okay!
You get the picture!
 
Learn to use wisdom and say no to most outside things,
That will keep you away from home for long periods
of time!
 
I do not want to look like Alfalfa!
Eyes bugging out!
My hair standing straight up.
 
Blessings,
Roxy

Days Gone By

 
Fall In Love!
 
This is just the most amazing thing!
 
The changing of the season's...
 
I always feel a little sad when a season ends!
You finally just get use to something, and BANG...
It changes!
Like, I just got use to having my kids around,
And what do they do?
They grow up and leave home.



May I always remember!

Just what I learned from the last season :)
 
 
You all have heard the old saying:
Hind sight is 20/20
 
But, I believe we can call to remembrance,
All the good things!
 
Sending you all good and loving memories;
Of the days gone by.
 
Blessings,
Roxy

Our Bedroom Makeover

 Here is a picture of my old drapes.
Ten years ago I really liked them!
They were a very pretty pattern and very thick material.
I always have to line my drapes becaus my Hubby works nights.
I already had taken down all the pictures, when I thought,
take some before and after pictures for my blog. 

 
 

 This room has very tall ceilings.
Two long walls and of course to short walls.
Which means only two walls to work with for a big bed and dresser.
There is only plan A for moving the furniture around.
 
 

 Okay You all can gasp...
I had a pink wall,
HAD a pink wall!
Pepto Bismal anyone?
(Really I liked it!)


 Teal carpet...
OKAY
It was in style 20 years ago!
(I really liked it too!)
 
 
Now the after:




 We painted it a very pretty warm golden color.
It made the room so cozy!
It made it so calming and peaceful for us.



 Notice the lush thick beige carpet!
God is so amazing,
 we found this in the back of a carpet store.
It was on one of those big rolls way in the back.
I was praying Lord, help me find a treasure.
This carpet went for $28.00 a yard!
We got it for $2.78 a yard!!
The man said to me lady you got expensive taste.
He said we quit selling carpet like this because people,
do not buy this expensive stuff anymore.
So, it was just waiting for me. 



 My new bedspread,
 pretty white with lovely flowers on it.


 My new curtains!
We spray painted our old lamps black,and
We  bought new lamp shades for them.
 
 
 
 Cutting out these curtains was very hard!
My dear friend Pam came out and helped me!
I could not of done it by myself, as the pattern in this thick
material had to line up just right.
We had three windows to cover in our room.
Thank You Pam!
I Praise God for you!!



 I was smoking hot on this machine!
I did so much sewing on this project my machine
needed a tune-up afterwards.


Amazing!!
All the designs in this print lined up perfect!
 
I am so blessed!
So, in another 20years will the beige carpet be out of style?
The salesman told me that this carpet was over 20 years old.
And God saved it just for me!
 
Blessings,
Roxy
