How To Sew Little Hearts ...


Sewing Little Hearts, Living From Glory To Glory Blog...

A Little Sewing Makes The Heart Happy

Wanted to share a little craft you can make and give throughout the year!

This craft is super easy and inexpensive.
Using up little scraps of fabric is a great way to be frugal.

I like making these so they are available so
 I can tuck them into any packages to my friends or family!
A little added bonus that they can remember me by.
Plus they look so cute, and you can hang them anywhere!

All you need is
 A heart shape pattern you cut out
Scraps of fabric, or you can buy what you really like
Scissors
Fiberfill for the stuffing
Ribbon or lace for hanger
Little ribbon flowers or buttons
Glue for adding flowers or buttons



I did sew mine on my sewing machine,
 But you could sew it also by hand!

You could also make these out of felt material,
And you would do a stitching by hand around it.

So cut out your pattern
Pin the pattern onto the material
Cut heart out.

Sew both pieces right side out, but leave a little gap to add your stuffing!
(Don't fill it really full)
Sew up the little gap

Now hand sew on your lace hanger or ribbon
Glue on a button or flower.
Ta Da
You now have a heart to keep or give away!

Keeping a small project to work on can help you stay creative;
And keeps your hands busy!

I like to pray while working on these kinds of projects,
They can inspire you and keeps you calm.

I have always loved seeing pictures of a homemaker sitting
In a chair and working on a sewing project.

Find peace and joy in the small things!

Blessings, Roxy

~Let me know if you try this sweet little craft sometime~

How To Make Each Morning Beautiful...

Making Each Morning Beautiful, Living From Glory To Glory Blog
 


Every Morning Is A New Day To Make It Beautiful...

I think we can all relate to this idea;

Because I find my self by the end of each day feeling exhausted,

A bit overwhelmed and spent.

So when I have completed all that I possible could do in that day.

My day is done and I need to stop and do something to relax my heart and mind!

Having a bedroom that is clean and uncluttered and clean sheets,

May help in getting a good nights rest...

If we have not learned to shut out the world's noise and confusion,

And to relax our brains it can be a problem!

Learning to let go and allow yourself to sleep without worry!

I know its easy to say, but truly if you have been alive long enough,

You know worry changes nothing!

So this little post is about starting each new day when you open 

Your eyes is to aspire to make this day beautiful!

Each day as we all know will have challenges, but how we react to them

Is totally in our ability to respond well!


How to make each day beautiful is as unique as each reader is;

We all have the ability to say kind things to others.

To be able to ignore someone causing friction.

We can make our kitchen table look lovely and inviting.

We can ignore our phones every time the ding.

We can work on some craft or a special meal preparation.

We can stop listening to news.

We can look for little ways to make our lives pretty.

We can enjoy a cup of tea and look through a magazine.

We can pamper ourselves!

We can concentrate on new ideas for rearranging a room

 or changing out some furniture.

Sometimes it is as easy as a bookcase or a picture.

I believe if we will make an effort God will supply the energy and creativity!

~Read~ Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,

 whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-

If anything is excellent or praiseworthy-

~Think about such things~

~Truly the state of your thinking can make your day beautiful~

Blessings, Roxy

Social Media Or Finding Better Things To Do With Your Time...

 Living From Glory To Glory Blog...


It is so much better for your heart and HOME,

To do something beautiful and productive.

Warning: If you spend to much time on your phone,

Or computer you just may wind up being unaware

 of what's really going on in your life...


I have had the sudden urge to throw my phone across the room;

For no apparent reason other then its a distraction.

Yet, we are looking at it at all times, all day long!

You can't even leave it in another room!

Most people carry it in their back pocket!

What we can do on our phones is ridiculous

We can watch movies, watch YouTube videos, we can write Emails

send messages, send quick texts!

Listen to music,

Twitter accounts, Facebook...

We receive pictures and calls through these devices.

But, suddenly they have become the instrument of censorship!

They know who you know

They know what you watch and listen to!

They have a trail of everything!

They have decided what is expectable...

For not only you but us as a nation!

Freedom of speech is no longer free;

It will cost you something!

Let's face it...

We got a huge problem!


I have heard so many people being kicked of every platform.

We know have Facebook jail;

Our phones were suppose to be a device to communicate.

Not spy on us and take away our right to listen to someone;

We might even find a personal picture taken off our phones!

Who is storing what???

Social Media is it a friend or foe???

Can we overcome our addiction to fake news and propaganda?

I doubt it...

It's on the internet, so it must be true!

Use your head and be careful in the day the earth stood still

Learning To Simplify Your Life...

Simplify Your Life... Living From Glory To Glory Blog

                                                                             

I do believe we are all in the class room of learning to simplify;

When we stop to think about what really matters it's easily condensed,

To a few things...

We have all learned to do less, go less, and yet we are better for it!

It is a great thing to happy and content with the portion God has given you!

You would never be happy with what the world can give!

Firstly, because it's fleeting!!

No one takes their stuff to heaven or hell.


Being quiet and at home is a pleasant place if you turn each room,

Into a Haven of simple and clean, organized beautiful abundance!

We all really have so much in regards to things.

I enjoy cleaning and making each little corner of my home pleasant.


Take some time each day and thank God for His provisions.

Then go about arranging and using what you have!

Remember He wants you to feel His love and enjoy His provisions!


Learning the fine art of gratefulness and using your talents is a must!

I never want to be the one who buries his talents.

We are to use our fine china plates and pretty vases.

Pull out the stash of goodies in those tubs and rearrange a room!

Find ways to change out your curtains, Try covering end tables with those

Beautiful lace doilies or pretty fabrics...

Encourage yourself through prayer and reading the Word;

Then encourage those in your family. and close friends!

May your spirit, soul and body prosper.

And may you put forth the effort in making your house a HOME

To have a gentle quiet spirit is a good thing...

And when your HOME is in order you can think clearly!

Turn off the news and make a simple, yet tasty dinner!

~Pray for those who are suffering, those prayers are heard~

Never Give Up

Your HOME is a reflection of your heart!!

Blessings, Roxy

Stay On The Right Road...

Stay On The Right Road... Living From Glory To Glory Blog

 ~Stay On The Right Road~


We must learn to  be able to know when its time to take a break!

I felt very strongly that our country was in an uproar about everything.

In the last few months, so I chose to be quiet!

And I personally was fighting Covid and was very sick.

I don't l care to share all the details, but I can assure you it was dire.

Many times the Lord will allow you to stop in your tracks;

Many can continue to go on as if nothing like a world Pandemic has hit.

Much like a two time decimated Hurricane to hit a small underdeveloped country.

But really we can't take it all in and we are really not suppose to...

These are times that must be fulfilled,

Yet we must stay close to home and pray and overcome the onslaught.

I have never been so comforted and filled with peace as I stand!

I am very sensitive to things that cause unrest;

So I usually will draw close to the Lord and rest and pray.

One of the reasons we are to make our homes and families  a refuge,

Is because there are very few safe harbors in a world of unrest!

Some people are never bothered by much;

But I do believe we are seared and unaffected

 because we have been conditioned.

Many are called to cry out for justice!

But there is only one righteous judge

The wheat is growing along side the tares;

Only God can distinguish the difference between the two!

You can no longer befriend the apostates;

You can be kind and yet we are told to not even have a meal with them.

But wait we are suppose to love and except every wayward way of thinking?

I think no...

Narrow is the way

Broad is the road that leads to destruction.

I am not sure what the future holds;

But I do know who holds the future...

Take these days and hide yourself under His wings!

Comfort and Joy only come a heart fully given to Christ!

Blessings, Roxy

Be As Wise As A Fox, In A Good Way...


Be As Wise As A Fox In A Good Way, Living From Glory To Glory Blog



~Be As Wise as A Fox~
But in a good way...

 

"The fox is said to be one of the most intelligent animals in the world"

 In this culture that we are all living in we need elegance and to be very clever!

A fox even looks beautiful and majestic and in my opinion very smart!


So many people like to make us think we are stupid; 

And can't think for ourselves!

                                 

                                              

Like a Fox we need a heightened sense of awareness.

Not as the saying goes sly as a fox, but rather alert!

The Fox has many qualities, but what I like they find what they need.

They act quickly and can sense danger!

I think many voices being heard is appearing foolish and strange;

But actually are very cleaver!

Don't be deceived ...

What your hearing is not what is really being said.

My Mother use to say you better read between the lines.

They think we are all asleep and they are acting like the side of

A Fox that is fighting for what is not theirs.

But I will need to act like a Fox and overcome their own game!

They are being crafty and sly;

So I will need to be elegant and intelligent,

And fight with wisdom to be able to think and discern.

To be able to see through the deceptions!

Don't take the handout! They are baiting you to enslave you!

Work hard

Grow in wisdom

Be Elegant

Be Quick

Discern between lies and truth

Blessings to each of you!

Stay safe and keep your eyes and ears open!

Why We Must Live One Moment At A Time...

 


Living In The Moment, Living From Glory To Glory Blog...

And This Too Shall Pass...

It does seem like we can spend a lot of time waiting for

 either something,to happen or to just waiting to get it over with!

Living in limbo and not living in the present is not realistic.

And it will cause you to miss those moments of life!

God does speak to us in those  little everyday moments! 

I have always loved the saying being in the right place at the right time! 

So if I am always trying to be in a different time space,

I would miss these moments!

Finding myself in the here and now and engaging it properly.

Moments and days and seasons will pass quickly enough.

And there is no way of retrieving those lost portions.

New Age philosophy wants to make the statement

"Living in the present"

Their motto; I don't think so!!

Because every moment you draw a breath its a gift from God!

Don't focus within, focus on God and His Glory.

Now, I am not saying to not look forward to things to come;

But rather don't hurry through the here and now!

Learning to appreciate each moment as it comes;

Some moments are beautiful,

Some moments are sad,

Some moments will change your life forever...

Blessings to each and everyone of you!

Hope your inspired for even a moment!

Be Careful Who You Follow...

 
Living From Glory To Glory Blog


Be careful who you follow...

Remember when you were a child, playing the game follow the leader?
Well, it was fun until they did something stupid or was really dangerous!

What is wrong with people?
Conforming to other people can be dangerous!


Do You Always Follow The Crowd?

Do you conform to what is the newest trend?
Do you want what everyone else has?
Remember we are not a herd of cattle that can be herded in any direction.
Cattle are all in the same pasture all doing the same thing!


God made all of us unique and different!

I wonder why so many want a socialistic society?
We are Americans that can live in freedom of tyranny!
So why do so many want to be told what to believe and what is right.
"In their Opinion"

Don't be wise in your own eyes...
Look at the value of protecting the core values of a society!
Values and Truth still matter!

Keep doing what is right...
Keep believing the Gospel of Truth
Keep looking for the good in others!
Keep doing what glorifies God!
Keep walking in the narrow way!

Do not try to be popular or to blend into the herd!
But rather look to Christ and love what is pure.
Walk away from the mass of any wing- right or left!

Follow the Words of Christ!
If you have built your house on the Rock, it won't be shaken!

Blessings, Roxy
