MEMO: Save Now To Spend Older Years In Florida

Really Really Really Cold!

Sometimes I ask myself...
Self, why was I not born in the tropics??

Oh, those little nasty mosquitoes. "You say"

Oh think of all those bad humid hair days!

Your ice cubes in your tea would melt way too fast...

You don't like heat rash!!

Sweating is sticky business.

Sleeping in the hot temps makes you cranky!

Soooo...

Why was I born In The Tundra? (NOT REALLY)
Well let's see;
You never would of learned to ice skate!

Remember the toboggan run called Blue Angel?
Now that was fun!

What about the time your Momma threw that stray cat
you brought home on Thanksgiving, right
 out the front door in the snow bank,
 Because it was eating our turkey on the counter!
"You wouldn't have had that memory"
Oh Yea ...

Oh I get it:
You live in the Tundra when you're young and your bones can handle it!
Then
When you get older you go to Florida or Belize for the Winter!
Silly Girl!

Roxy

Birds Of A Feather Flock Together...





Birds of a feather flock together!

Dear Ones, One of the scriptures that tell us that
 Bad company corrupts good character.

I have seen God orchestrate many moves
And relationships in my life.

But God has given us wisdom to know and see
Many things around us. We need to be quick when see
Character traits in others that can hinder our walk with Christ.
I remember being taught from one of my Sunday school teachers, many years ago
His name was Johnny, and he told us if you hang out with
  Truck drivers you would start talking like one.
There are even many Christians who have what I might call a
weak walk with Christ.
 And little knowledge of His word!
 Or they only pick and Choose
 What they are comfortable with.
They may not believe God still heals!
They may think God's word does not apply to their situation!
Or that His word is the final authority!

We will be influenced by the way they talk;
The choices of foods they may eat or not eat!
I have seen people change many things to look and act like others!
That is why Dear Ones we are called to imitate Christ!

Be willing to leave the flock of wild birds, and follow hard after HIM!

Closer
God is with us in our daily activities and as we are aware of His presence--we welcome Him in everything we do. Our fellowship with Him moment by moment and doesn't meet with others without Him. There are also times when we purposely focus on spending time alone with Him. It's in these times of intimacy that we are transformed by His glory.

Hanging out with Jesus enables us to become like Him. The same is true with other relationships. We become like those we hang out with and without realizing it pick up habits or expressions from those companions. We must guard against anything that conflicts with the Christ-like character we are developing day-by-day. We are able to discern and break free from wrong associations as we increase our time with the Lord. Our holy boldness, surety in our steps, and ability to withstand opposition increases as we grab hold of who we are in Christ.

It is not our training or our education that makes us effective for the Kingdom. We are effective because we receive His knowledge and wisdom as the Holy Spirit coaches us in the things of the Kingdom. The boldness birthed from the confidence we have in Him is visible and tangible. As we fellowship with Jesus and have communion with Him, His characteristics become ours from glory to glory.
From Pastor Joell Suell

Blessings To All as we are being transformed from glory to glory!

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 @

She got the Prayer Request Out!

Blessings,

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

Blessings,

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!

Click on all the sites below and choose one of these tools!

Super Easy Shrimp Dish (A-To-Fay)

Living From Glory To Glory Blog
 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.
Living From Glory To Glory Blog

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!

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
