NO TIME TO FEEL BAD!

We all know time is precious. None of us have enough of it. I can make a list, and so can you, about all the things we don't have time for. The best thing you can do is make a list. List everything that you never have time to do. Then choose to purposefully put the time on your calendar or fridge or whatever. Then do it! Don't let anything get in on that time. I don't ever have time to do yardwork. So I choose 1 hour one day a week in the evening to do something in the yard. Don't think you have time to clean your house? Do you have a housekeeper you pay? Don't feel bad about it. If you have to hire someone, to do something you don't have time to do, so you can do something else you would like to do--DO IT! Enjoy life in between all the "must-do's of life. Life is too short!

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME?

"Do you love me more than these?" John 21:15 This is a question that Jesus asked Peter! This is a question that he also asks us. Matthew 10:37 "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." Here's a question for you! If your children turn their backs on God; will you? I have seen this happen many times. Parents who raise their children in the church so that their children have some set of morals. But when they rebel they give up their faith in God. Or when they grow and leave the home they also leave the house of God. The Bible encourages us to examine our selves. To examine our hearts! Make sure that all your faith is in God regardless of any circumstances. That your feet are truly planted on the Solid ROCK!

This and That

Here is a way to take up extra space on a wall. Use different plates and plate hangers and cluster them together. These are sentimental plates to me.

Yes! This is as delish as it looks!!! It is a blueberry kuchen and since your blueberries should soon be picked I am sharing this recipe!
