Mother's Day is almost here.  Have you made a plan to call, send a gift, stop by her graveside.  What ever the case may be is awesome.  For those of you that have trouble with Mother's Day, I want to help you enjoy this one. 

There are many out there that do not appreciate their mother.  We can all find things that we don't agree with that our mothers have done or are still doing.  Let's face it, like the rest of us, mothers are not perfect.  If you are expecting perfection out of your mother, you are holding on to an unrealistic person.  This year I challenge you to make a change.

God is amazing.  You don't think so in this area.  Well, think about it.  You are who you are.  You are a well rounded individual.  Had you been given a different mother, you would not be who you are.  So this year, thank God for the blessings he gave you in a mother.  And take the time to say "I love you" to your mother.  And if she does not grasp it.  That is still okay, God will be smiling down on you.  Hugs and have a blessed Mother's Day!

The Simple Things

Get out of the chaos of everyday life and get back to the simple things.  My idea of the simple things are spending time with my family, picking berries, and baking.  Do I do these daily?  Of course, not.  But strive to get my life back in order to accomplish them more often.  Today, I want to share my bread recipe.  This is my basic recipe that I use for all breads.  I just change it to suit my families needs for the day. Homemade White Bread 1 Cup Milk 1 tsp salt 2 Tbsp butter or oil 2 Tbsp sugar or honey 3 Cups flour 1 Tbsp yeast I use a bread maker for mixing.  Ingredients go into the bread maker in the order listed.  I like the bread maker because I don't have to be concerned about the rising temperature or time.  I put it on the dough setting and it is ready in 90 minutes.  I take it out and make rolls or loaf.   I put it in the oven at 170 degrees til it has risen to the size I want, then turn the...

Stamping Saturday

Image
I am an avid stamper, as Rush Limbaugh would say, talent on loan from God.  As we live life, many of us tend to get so caught up in our daily routines that we forget to be happy.  When this happens, we start looking for happiness.  As Snoopy is showing us, we look everywhere.  But what we need to be doing is looking within.  Remember what it is within ourselves, we enjoy and enjoy it to the fullest.  We cannot look for happiness in places, things or in others.  Happiness is found within.  Look for the seed of happiness that God gave to you and nurture it to full maturity and you will find yourself smiling before you  realize it and maybe even skipping, like Snoopy.  Hugs and smiles to all.

Hard Times

You remember hard times?  Still having hard times?  You know the times that others, label people, place judgement on them.  We have all been through that and let's face it, we are all guilty of it.  We are sinners.  None of us are perfect.  I pray we all can find it in our hearts that when we want to do this, we will have the power to put our stones back in their place and look in the mirror and ask God to forgive us and remember God loves us all equally.  Even when it may be hard because we have let Him down.  Please take the time to help those that have let Him down, to see Him, to know Him, to have the courage to turn from their ways and to ask for His forgiveness. Let your light shine, so that others may open their hearts and receive His comfort. Hugs to all of you.
