Mental Anguish

 

 

 

 

The World Is a needy Place

 

Good Morning, this is a little different kind of post,

 That I might normally write.

 But there are certain things that will come up or happen

that just screams give me some attention.

 

It is something that anyone of us

might have been subjected to, (this very thing.)

It may have been a family member, or

someone from your church.

But, it seems that our towns and city streets are

Just filled with those with mental problems.

So many more homeless now days!

 

But, It is really sad when it's a family member.

How can you help them, when they continue to

make bad choices, or their brains are just wired wrong.

They are not able to think clearly.

They are filled with bitterness;

They always blame others for their problems.

It is the governments fault or

the way I grew up...

 

I have compassion for these people;

But I also realize I have needed to have strong boundaries.

 

When you are around these people if you do not feel safe.

Respond to that feeling;

I believe it is God's radar He has given us to keep

Us safe!!

 

May we be praying for those with mental anguish!

 

I believe during the holiday's and specific dates

And birthdays that holds sad memories for them.

So the anguish becomes more prominent.

 

I believe we need to help them get help!

 

I also believe it is important to pray for your mind to be protected,

And to keep yourself from  exposure to things that

contain darkness!

These things open doors!

 

Depression is very real to many people;

Expose the darkness;

Be the light!

Jesus can heal the broken mind!!

A Prayer For Being A Proverbs31 Wife And Mother

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These confessions will infuse His life

into your marriage!

Being confident that He Who began a good work in me

will continue until the day of Jesus Christ,

I confess that;

I am capable, intelligent and virtuous woman,

far more precious than jewels.

I rise early and get spiritual food for my household.

I seek first God's kingdom and all good things

are added unto me.

I reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord.

I give of the fruit of my hands and my

works praise me.

I am industrious.

With my savings I plant fruitful vines.

Strength and dignity are my clothing and my position

is strong and secure.

I rejoice over the future knowing that my family

and I are in readiness for it.

I open my mouth with skillful and godly wisdom,

and in my tongue is the law of kindness,

giving counsel and instruction.

The bread of idleness (gossip, discontentment

and self-pity) I do not eat.

I am worthy of respect and serious, not a gossiper,

but temperate and self-controlled,

thoroughly trustworthy in all things.

I pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love

patience and gentle heartedness, and the

joy of the Lord is my strength.

I am submissive and adapt myself to my own

husband as a service to the Lord.

He is head of me as Christ is head of the church.

I respect and reverence my husband.

I notice, regard, honor, prefer, love and

admire him exceedingly. The heart of my husband

trusts in me confidently and relies on

and believes in me safely.

I comfort and encourage and do him only good as

long as there is life in me.

I walk in love with my husband,

esteeming and delighting in him.

My husband praises me above all women.

Blessings,

Roxy

When I pray this prayer;

I use my husbands name where it say's

husband.

Pray this prayer aloud!

Homemakers Art



 

I am an Artist!?!

 

By being the kind of homemaker God has called me to be

 is going to look like an artist at work.

 

I believe it is our job to create and purchase and make art

that makes the home environment and atmosphere,

filled with warmth and color!

Truly an uplifting place to be.

 

My definition of art;

Flowers

Music

Handmade Items

Pretty pictures

Platters of food

Baked Cookies

Pretty pillows

All things lovely!

 

This is a key way to make the longing of our

Husbands and children desire for us to be

at home!

 

It is the sweet spirit behind this artist

That draws out the life and creativity of our

children.

But it is also the very comfort and warmth that

A Man feels his manhood becomes strong,

and protective of the place called,

HOME!

 

He will desire to keep this Castle safe...

 

The word tells us to think about such things

That our true, noble, right, pure,

lovely and admirable!

 

So I believe creating and living in an environment

That allows our eyes and ears,

And even the sense of smell, will inspire us

To think about things that God has asked us to think about.

 

Never underestimate the power of smell and taste

Dear Ones!

 

 

 

Lovely taste and textures, happy voices talking.

Music that lifts our spirits...

We as women must make  our homes this kind of place!

So that when our husbands come home,

They will be surrounded by these things that will help

relieve their stresses from their working environments.

 

Never think you are wasting your time or money

on making your home a place of comfort and beauty!

 

Blessings,

Roxy

Stocks and Butter And A Filled Pantry...

Nothing should be wasted!

We live in a world where everything is disposable.

See these corn stalks, good for nothing right?

Well, not exactly;

The farmer's go back in and shred these old

corn stalks to feed their cattle.

They make a product called silage.

It is stinky, but it is used to feed and sustain,

The cattle in the long, cold winter months.

We are entering our winter months of needing

Warm foods, keeping our homes warm.

Feeding our families!

So as you see all your store adds for sale items,

this month, try to think ahead and stock u
on some of your cooking and baking items.

I do  promote being a wise woman in the

Pantry area of your home.

Watch for all the cream soups on sale.

Green beans and canned corn also.

Butter is around 2.00 lbs.

Chicken broth is very inexpensive now.

Watch for the different pastas on sale too!

Sometimes, we get on the eat only natural kick,

We forget we have had some real tough times.

Believe me, if you were starving;

You would not care if it was organic :)

REALLY...

Why, do we need a well stocked pantry?

Because it is what a wise woman does for her FAMILY!

Also, we must think of those who will need

some assistance this long winter.

Buy some of these sale items to give to your

own town or cities needy!

We must always remember the poor!

I want to tell you a true story;

I know of a wise woman

Whose Husband lost his Job!

 And do you know it was almost a whole year before he found another one.

But, this Wise Woman had a pantry that fed her family

Almost that entire year, with only having to add

The fresh produce and milk and eggs!

Blessings,

Roxy



Being Productive...

Living like there is no tomorrow,

What a loaded statement...

You had better live like there is an eternity!

How many lines of the world's point of view can I

Swallow hook, line and sinker?

How many times have we heard a song,

And sang along, without really hearing the words?

We all better get busy living;

We can be in the perfect will of God in doing

what he has given us to do,

Such as:

Sewing an apron

Writing a Blog post

Crocheting a dishcloth

Writing an encouraging note to someone!

Baking a special treat for your loved ones!

Praying while doing your dishes

Doing laundry...

We are living out our days according to

His time and season's.

We must rest in His peace, and carry on!

On some days it's called PLOD on!

Do not let the world's way of thinking, stop you

From the simple pleasures He has given you!

Being a keeper of the Home, has provided  a

Different way of looking at being productive.

I believe we must always be aware of the atmosphere

we are creating.

We won't get everything done!

But my prayer is this;

My loved ones will all think and say,

There is no place like HOME!

We are all about to enter the Holiday season;

May our purpose now, to only do

what we can handle, and not stress ourselves,

and our families out!

Take Joy...

Blessings,

Roxy

A Man's Ego...

Your Man's Ego

Did you know that if a man has a healthy Ego,

 it can and will help him become the

 Leader and protector of his home.

And a healthy ego will allow him to be your family's provider.

Many men, have damaged ego's because of there early

Childhood training,

Or a dominant Mother figure.

Or maybe what we might call a

(Mama's Boy)

Or a belittling Father.

A Mother did all the training, there was no man's influence.

Or from being spoiled and not taught how to work,

Or taught how to speak firmly, as a leader should.

So, what I wanted to say to all wives today is this;

STOP

Destroying your Man's Ego!

You must allow and help this very thing called

(A mans Ego)

To function and mature.

It is God who has given Men an Ego!

God created Men to have these ego's!

It is the world view to be alarmed over a

Young man's over inflated ego.

What really needs to happen is more understanding,

On how we as wives and mother's can

help in this area.

A healthy Ego is the very thing that will either

make him more masculine,

Or will destroy his manliness.

So wives if you want your husband to lead you,

You must first look at the ego.

What can a wife do to help his ego?

You must learn to let go of the always controlling everything!!

Do not ignore his advice...

Do not find fault with how he does things,

No matter if you think you could do a better job.

Tell him often:

 On how well he has handled or accomplished

something. We all need to know this very thing,

(that what we have done is good and right!)

Are you constantly finding fault with his efforts?

If you even utter these words...

You can't do anything RIGHT,

As soon as these words come out of your mouth,

or you have even thought them.

Repent to God,

Then apologize to him!

Look, it is like this, if you continue to nitpick

And find fault all the time, he will just quit trying

To lead you or his family!

More on this later;

Blessings,

Roxy
