Baby Kalea Is Home

Baby Kalea

This sweet precious little girl is home now!!

They never did find out exactly what is wrong with her,

A liver problem, but everything they checked for came back

With no real hard evidence.

What I believe is this;

God touched her at every turn of events...

He is God!

We prayed!

He answered!

She is still recovering and needs to gain weight!

Her Momma and Daddy our still fearful,

They need prayer for His peace!

Thank you to all of you who prayed!

SPECIAL THANKS TO

Diana @

Nana Diana Takes A Break

She got the Prayer Request Out!

Marriage Of Bunnies and Bears...

A Match made in Heaven!

Some Bunny loves you

And

He acts like a Bear sometimes!

Marriage is the biggest learning curve you will have.

What will you learn?

Mostly we quickly will come to the realization that we

Both think totally different!

(SHOCK)

Have you seen the quote that says if Mamma isn't happy

Nobody else is either?

Why is this?

Because Momma is the heart of the HOME!

And:

Because Papa Bear is the HEAD!

Now, Dear Bunny here is a few things you will need to do.

To Keep the Heart well and Happy.

Start each day with prayer for Mr. Bear and Everyone else.

Eat a good and nutritious breakfast (Porriage) :)

Enjoy a wee bit of leisure time to plan out your day.

Keep a weekly list of your chores and appointment for the week!

Decide early on what you will be serving for dinner!

(Dinners can be very simple and nutritious)

Bears get very HUNGRY!

Have you seen the sign that says;

Don't FEED the Bears?

Because if you feed the Bears they will keep coming back,

Where they have been taken care of.

I want my Mr. Bear to always know that I will have

Something warm and comforting for Him in the Den.

Keep an area in the home for the things you love!

(Books, knitting, or crocheting)

Take a quick rest when you can!

Go to bed at an early hour!

Drink some water every day!

Water your soul daily with God's Word!

Ask the Lord to set a guard over your mouth!

Have you ever heard this quote?

It is not what you said, but rather the tone you used!

If you love, honor and respect Mr. Bear,

He will protect you silly Bunny at all cost!

Keep the PEACE!

Smile and do all you do as on to the LORD!

Blessings,

Roxy

Happy Happy New Year

Time to Love

Time to Grow

Time to Rejoice

Time to Overcome

Time to step into your Destiny

Time to count your Blessings and to Give Thanks!

All of your days are in His hand!

Do Not take even one of them for granted!

Blessings,

Roxy

Choose A Bible Reading Plan

Choosing a Bible Reading Plan

I love my Bible and I love reading the Word!

It is a source of life and truth and strength for me!

It also brings all of these things to everyone around me!

Because when the Word is in YOU!

It will come out (Spoken and Declared)

I really have a different way that I study each day;

I pray and talk to my Father and I ask the Holy Spirit

To teach me what I am to learn today.

I may read a few verses to usually a few chapters.

Sometimes, I am just stuck on one word;

Then I begin a study of that one word...

The reading of the word can be done in a  systematical way,

So many chapters read daily in the old or new Testament.

There is not a right or wrong way to read the word.

The only danger I have seen, is where you read

only a verse and you do not bother to read the context

It is written in; we must know the whole context.

I also have many Devotionals;

I will usually choose two or three devotionals each year!

I like to rotate them!

We have so many tools on line we can use

 for reading and studying the Word!

But may I suggest to 

ALWAYS....

Have a real Bible as your source!!

Do NOT be afraid to mark it up and to underline,

The words and verses that speak to YOU.

Because, the word does speak!

It is living and breathing, because it is ALIVE.

He is the Lily of the valley

Here are a few web sites you might like to visit,

to find a few tools you can use to study and to grow 

as you spend time in God's Word!

Super Easy Shrimp Dish (A-To-Fay)

 A-To-Fay

This is one of my favorite dish's!

It's so delicious,

This recipe starts with 

 Raw shrimp and is combined with a hot and spicy cream sauce.
You can add any kind of white fish with it, such as Cod or Flounder.
Some versions can also have a smoked sausage added to it!

This is a really fun dish to make for New Years Day!
In some parts of the world, it is a tradition!

I have made this for many parties and get togethers!
It really makes a large amount ad goes a long way!



Here is a picture of some of the ingredients for this!

Yummy spices and shrimp that is raw, but it needs

To be devined and peeled and the tails are off.

Wash them off, but do not pre-cook.

A-to-fay

1 onion, diced small

3 stalks of celery, diced fine

3 cloves of garlic, diced

Brown all of these in some butter and a bit of oil.

Add your garlic last so it won't burn.

Now add  two can of cream of mushroom soup
Add one can of Cream of Celery soup

Add 1/2 can of milk

Add 1 can of Rotel tomatoes (something with a bit of kick)

Add some spices now;

Chili powder

Cayenne

White pepper
Oregano

Now add your raw devined shrimp and your fish

Stir lightly and cook for about 25minutes.

Now, serve this A-To-Fay over rice

 (White or brown or even wild rice)

I like to serve this dish in one of my soup tureens,

As it keeps it warm and it looks so pretty!

Enjoy!

Blessings,

Roxy

Out With The Old And In With The New...

My refrigerator always gets jammed packed during

the holidays; I open the door and just hope nothing lands

on my toes...

I did go into town today just to get the basics,

Such as milk and some fruit and veggies.

Eggs, cheese and so on!

Oh, I also got my next year Christmas cards half off!

But the moral of this post is this;

Some things just expire!!

I am hoping to downsize with some of my clothes,

I know longer wear or are appropriate any longer.

Hope to reorganize my pantry and throw out what

is not either good for me, or is just old.

Going to go through all of my books again and

dust and reorganize them.

Maybe even buy some new ones, before

Everything goes digital. (Sigh)

I still love holding a book in my hands, something I can

even underline the special parts.

I miss having real pictures!

People will say, you want to see my grandchildren?

They whip open their phone,

SEE...

Favorite Gift:

One of my favorite gifts this Christmas...

I asked my children  to just

 give us an old fashion picture album.

With real pictures in it!

Now that was a novice idea LOL

It Was Time!

Okay, is everyone sitting down?

I have taken down my Christmas Tree!!

It was either that or I was going to have to dust the bulbs,

 And decorations. (NOT)

Holiday Fun!

We went sledding yesterday with dear family friends,

I said no way was I getting on one of those sleds.

I lied!!

I went down three times...

I laughed and screamed like a little girl :)

I am so happy and blessed!

I hope each and every one of you out there,

Are enjoying your days!

Remember never sniff expired milk!

Blessings,

Roxy

Indulgence Nature...

Crack Me Up!!

This sweet little girl is no different than us big girls sometimes :)

This is the time of the year we have so many

 Sweets and goodies

In our homes!

We have been baking and preparing all sorts of

Special  goodies...

But sometimes we have had just too many sweets!

How do we use self control,

 When the smooth creamy fudge is calling my name?

Or those cute little Christmas cookies

 Cut out and baked and frosted with care look so tantalizing!

They sparkle and look cheery and bright.

So, because of the gift given to me on Christmas morning;

I now must rely on the gift of  the precious Holy Spirit's working of

The fruit of Self-control in my "self" indulgence nature.

Eat and enjoy His sweet leading in what we eat and drink!

Whether you eat or drink do it all unto the Glory of the Lord.

Dear ones we need to be more concerned

 With what comes out of our mouths,

As these things will defile us.

Cake and goodies can be eaten and enjoyed

Because He has made provision.

Be more concerned with come out of your mouths!

 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart;

 and they defile the man.

Matt 15:18

Sentimental Christmas

 Feelings at Christmas bring such a sentimental touch!

We always long for the sweet treasures we remember as a child.

I cannot help wanting to cry like a baby when I hear

certain songs!

We are blessed and nothing stay's the same...

We are growing and our lives change.

Season's change...

May we never forget all of His provisions!

Love like there is no tomorrow!

For Christ is the same today as yesterday!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Remember that you are making memories

 for many years to come,

For yourself and those who you are celebrating Christmas with today!
