Tuesday Tantrums?


I will start to day off with my smiles found yesterday.  I actually found a lot to smile about.  But will give you the funny smiles.  Our youngest son has a Thomas the Tank bed, that he claims is not his.  So we put it outside and filled it with dirt for him to play in.  Today, him and his sister filled it up with water, making an ooey gooey mess.  They painted pictures on each others backs, splashed, oohhh the joys of being a child.  Then they filled the water trough and played in it to clean up a bit.  It was so nice watching the two of them having so much fun.  God has totally blessed my day with smiles.

Now for Tuesday Tantrums:  A day to complain?  Why not?  What are some of the complaints you hear daily?  Too hot?  Too cold?  Too much rain?  Too little rain?  Can you imagine being God and having so many people requesting weather in their favor.  He  made all of us different, how could He ever please us everyone?  Makes me wonder, heat, cold, rain, dry spells, no wonder there are tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes and the like.  Maybe we should be content with what God has given us.  Not just with the weather, but in our everyday lives.  When we try to take control, our lives turn into earthquakes and hurricanes.  Get the picture?

Am I saying, we have no control?  Not at all, there are so many things in our lives that we do control, where we live, the food we eat, what we wear.  But we need to stop trying to control, what is out of our control.  The way others think of us, the things they say, the way they think in general.  God made us all individuals with individual minds.  If we all thought the same, we might as well be robots.  So, I challenge you to look at people differently.  Everyone has a God given gift and He has put them in our lives for a reason.  Start looking for what God wants you to see in them.  You might be surprised at what you find.  May God bless you today with an open heart.  And if He blesses your day with rain, dance in it, your not made of sugar and you just may find your inner child.

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.
