Have You Learned To Be Content...

2026-05-12T07:17:42.482-06:00

I think learning to be content is a life long process for me!

Some days just go smoother and times where you don't feel

The overwhelming feeling of too much to do!

To be real, let me just say I feel like Goldilocks,

Everything has to be just right:

Not too hot and not too cold!

But as we mature and grow older we do learn to not over-react,

Or to allow every little thing or inconvenience to irritate us.

One of the greatest attributes of a Christian is to stay calm!

My downside is mostly when I am tired or hungry.

But these are the actual times I try to practice staying calm and kind.

What does contentment look like or feel like for you?

Today I will catch a little joy, and keep it close to my heart!

Good sleep is a sweet gift,

To hear the birds singing is natures music.

May my character and influence go out like a sweet fragrance.

May the light of the moon resemble my smile.

May my words be like a songbird's tune.

Love changes everything

A quiet spirit is of priceless value

May the oil of gladness anoint your hearts

Just stop and rest, allow God's peace to fill your heart

Beware of empty conversations

Refuse an evil report

Intentions are not actions

Correct me in Love

Diligence is man's precious possession

Proverbs 12:27b

Life is hard and often unfair. Yet we hear in the words of Jesus in Psalm 37

"Blessed are the meek, He said, for they shall inherit the earth

Matthew 5:5

So as my days come and go I desire to settle into the Lords

Contentment fresh and new everyday...

The secret of peace and contentment is to keep the

Heart free from care and anxiety even in the midst of trials.

May my eye never be upon the trial I am in, but rather

The living God who controls every circumstance I will

Encounter in my life time.

So contentment is an attitude of the heart;

Or your frame of mind??

And I believe what teaches us contentment

Are all the trials and just living life in knowing,

That God's providence is at work in your life.

You are being taught to persevere and to let the growth happen.

Every day and every situation is a chance to

Be content...

As always, The desire of my heart is to be all He has wanted for me!

Hugs, Roxy

I Have Had Heaven On My Mind...

2026-05-07T07:47:57.340-06:00

~Longing For A Better Country~

They were longing for a better country--a heavenly one...

Hebrews 11:16

I know Heaven is real because it's in my heart!

It's like you just know some days you are just passing through this world.

The old song, in the by and by;

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

But Heaven gets closer every day, and definitely ever new year that rolls up!

I think we are supposed to long for Heaven,

To look forward to the majestic glory that awaits us!

As long as I am alive on this earth, I know I'm not really home.

We are told to set our affections on things above,

Not on things on the earth, Colosians 3:2

I believe we are far more attached to earth than heaven.

The Bible uses the term heaven in three separate and distinct ways.

The atmosphere

The celestial

The dwelling place of God

It is in this third sense I am speaking of.

For Christians, our citizenship is in heaven.

I am waiting patiently, but with great expectation.

~Recognition In Heaven~

I fully believe we will know and recognize all those

We have ever known here while on earth that have gone before us!

If we are called brothers and sisters in Christ here on earth;

Why would we not still be family while living in our Father's house?

Home

Jesus has gone to prepare a home for you. John 14:3

I am going to share with you a pearl;

I have always had this beautiful picture in my mind and heart,

Of what my room or abode will look like.

I definitely have roses and lovely colors of pastel.

And I can hear the waves lapping in the distance.

And I very large bookcase filled with every book that I have

Ever wanted to read that was pure.

And to know all those I loved that loved Christ were right close by!

Never alone, or afraid, or sickly or weak ever again.

And I can join a hymn singing or a camp meeting anytime I want!

And God's Glory will fill my heart and the atmosphere.

The gloominess and darkness to be vanquished.

The colors will be vibrant, creativity will be profound.

Love will be tangible...

These are my thoughts on what my heavenly home will be like.

~Crowns~

Scripture talks about crowns that will be given.

Scripture talks about 5 different crowns we can win.

{Makes me think of Paul telling us to run our race to win the Prize}

Crown of Life =

Overcoming and enduring trials and persecution

Crown of Righteousness =

Completing your race with integrity and fulfilling your ministry

Incorruptible Crown =

Given to the disciplined, A spirit of excellence.

Crown of Rejoicing =

A Soul Winner, Sharing the Gospel

Crown of Glory =

Sacrificial ministry, pastors

I believe these crowns will not be something I will wear on my head,

But rather

Your reward will be the capacity you will for service in Heaven!

I have enjoyed thinking about heaven and writing this post;

I do have a great imagination, yet heaven will be more beautiful

Then we could even imagine.

But, I know He will have my room in His mansion ready for me.

When it is time for me to leave this earth and this tent.

One day I will have a glorified body to put on!

Blessings', Roxy

Just Living From Glory To Glory

P.S. I told my Husband,

Pretty soon I will know more people in Heaven than on this earth,

As so many friends and family have already finished their race!

~ Cute Quote~

If I took this quote to heart every single day;

I would be as sweet as Honey...

I have learned that we all can be atmosphere changers.

I have to have this mindset and tell myself I can make a difference!

We are going to start each day with a fresh slate;

And you will be given opportunities to be all of these very things.

There is great power in being kind and humble.

A woman has a special force to create unity and peace!

Especially in her home, but really everywhere you will go!

~Your Thoughts~

Your thoughts will be either pretty thoughts;

Or thoughts that will leave you feeling unsettled and vulnerable.

When I give my day to the Lord, I know He will see me through.

But He tells us to use our minds wisely!

What you allow yourself to ponder can be detrimental to our lives.

May we not be filled with anxious thoughts, too many times

We worry which is actually sin!

The life of faith is lived one day at a time.

Remember the slow and steady wins the race!

A Kindness is never wasted!

The words of the pure are pleasant (Proverbs 15: 26b)

We are free to choose Joy...

Every response that you do in every situation is what you choose!

The mouth of the righteous know what is acceptable!

May my attitude be pleasing to the Lord...

It's about the love you give,

Not the love you get!

Blessings To Each And Everyone...

Hugs, Roxy

Angels Among Us...

2026-03-15T17:07:00.002-06:00

~Angels Among Us~

Have you ever seen an angel?

Well, I have met a few in my life!

Some of these Angels have probably been truly Angels,

Sent from God as ministering spirits to me in a time of great need.

And I hope that sometime in my life I have had the privilege to show

Hospitality to an Angel!

But this post is really about the Angels that walk among us...

Real humans that God has sent into your life to minister to you!

Oh, my heart overflows as I look back on the times I've been helped;

In times of hardship and times of needing a word of wisdom.

The Holy Scriptures speak of the Angelic

Mighty Angels, And one day we will all get to see them in Heaven.

But, I know we live in a world that has much sin, but be not fooled,

There are those in the world that have been put in your path;

To speak words of wisdom, maybe words of correction.

To speak words of Blessings.

To come alongside you maybe for a moment or a day.

But some people are in your life for years!

I am so grateful for those that have ministered to me in my life!

But may I say what a joy to minister to another soul in need!

My days are simple,

yet I always keep an eye out for divine appointments.

God is always looking for someone to do His work;

A helping hand a smile, a word of encouragment.

~You my dear ones can be and Angel to someone~

I desire to be a useable vessel.

Yet, I know my shortcomings and weekness'es

"God can and will use anyone He chooses"

But telling Him you are willing opens the door of your heart!

I must say we need wisdom from the Lord in these days.

Because we have so many people on the make,

To try to steal and cause harm.

So be wise and be open to those that God has sent your way.

Ask the Lord for God Assignments!

Blessings, Roxy

Love Covers A Multitude of Sins...

2026-02-12T11:30:00.001-07:00

Being Filled...

How are you being filled?

So many people are feeling empty;

I think some it comes from the fast pace in our world today!

We just need to slow down and be still for a moment!

When we encourage someone, something happens to us.

We were made to be a vessel that pours out into others.

Call it affirmation, call it whatever you want.

But there is a natural and a spiritual encouragement.

And we need both!

We need each other!

And this is why when we have been rejected,

We feel a deep sense of loss and hurt.

If you live long enough, you will probably experience this.

It's very painful, because we were made to build up.

I share this because this is the month we celebrate the Love.

But we live in a world we say we love others, but true love

Takes work and dedication and suffers long.

It is patient and kind, thinks no evil,

Is not easily provoked.

Bears all things, does not behave rudely.

It is never jealous or envious.

I like to think it hardly notices when others do you wrong.

We are not to be so fragile we fall apart when we are

Looked at wrongly.

I want to love others as Christ loved me.

I want to speak the truth in love.

I want to forbear others in love.

Why??

Because God is love...

So, may I walk in love!

Perfect love in me cast out all fear!

So, what does this have to do with being filled?

We are called to encourage one another to be filled with;

LOVE...

Why?

~Because LOVE never fails~

Are you tired or weary?

Have you been hurt?

~Forgive them, and forgive yourself~

Don't be robbed of one more moment of peace and joy!

Today is a new beginning.

The old hurts or pain can no longer keep you captive.

God has given us everything in His Word to overcome!

Decide today to be an encouraging person!

Do you realize you can change a persons whole day, just by

Speaking to them with words that build them up!!

Love is an action...

~LOVE never fails~

Being an encouraging person is so needed!

"Blessings To Each Of You"

Encourage Someone Today

Hugs, Roxy

~May The Love Of God Fill Your Hearts~

I want to thank each of you that have subscribed to my Blog posts

I Don't write as often as I use to, but when I do post I love to

Encourage others and to affirm we are loved by God!

How To Be A Faithful Steward...

2026-01-12T12:54:00.002-07:00

~Desire To Be A Faithfull Steward~

"Moreover it is required in stewards that one

Be found faithful"

1 Corinthians 4:2

Firstly, What is a Steward?

A person who has been put in charge of something!

And I can say this, everyone has something that is

In their possession that they are in charge of.

As stewards, we are not owners.

Even if something is bought and paid for;

We are caretakers of whatever we have.

I have always known that all we have belongs to God.

Even our very breath belongs to Him!

I want to be a good steward and be responsible for what God

Has entrusted to me as His daughter!

It is a wonderful thing to be faithful...

I first began understanding how everything that I had was really God's

We are given something, and he watches to see if we are good stewards.

I mean everything...

Your clothes they must be washed and mended and hung or folded neatly.

Your car no matter how old it might be should be maintained,

Washed, cleaned inside, throw the trash out.

Smells clean...

I Truly have ridden in a car that was just plain filthy!

Until you take care of what you have you will not get anything nicer.

~Be content with what you have~

And it's not just possessions!

We are to protect and prosper our minds and heart.

You are the keeper of the body you have been given.

Remember the parable of the talents?

Well, this means you have talents that you must be mindful of

And using them to bring God glory.

And every day we all have the same amount of time.

How are you using the hours and the moments?

Being a good steward is about being faithful.

And it includes our motive in everything.

It starts with the little things...

Give and be generous to others.

Generosity is huge!

You have been given unique gifts and talents for the whole;

Wherever he directs you to use them!

But it always starts with the Home!

Use your energy wisely

Use your money with accountability

Treat your home like a castle!

Be a blessing to your family and friends.

Be thankful...

Be grateful...

I do hope each and every one of you is doing well!

I don't like to share just stuff on this blog,

As I dedicated it to the Lord at the inspection of it.

I could just babble on,

But I'd rather share what he shows me in his Word.

Sending a hello and a blessing

From My Home to Yours!

Hugs, Roxy

Remember JOY Is A Gift Of The Spirit...

2025-12-18T12:51:00.002-07:00

The Greatest Gift

He came once, and He is coming again

My heart is overflowing and expectant in the coming of Christ!

He wants to draw His Church closer.

Each Christmas season we are given the chance to lean in!

Stop and quiet your heart...

This moment will be gone in a flash.

Slow down and ponder the miracle of life.

Take a moment and think about what season you are in?

Are you young and beautiful and wrinkle-free?

Are you old enough to know better??

( Have you attained wisdom from above )?

Each season holds seeds that must be sown,

not just scattered in the wind.

Winter or Springtime;

You are still required to plant;

You can either feel overwhelmed or giddy like a child.

I must remind myself, God rules time and eternity...

One way to be well equipped is to hide God's Word in your heart.

Stop the negative thoughts and emotions

Don't allow all the memories of the past to haunt your heart.

It's totally normal to miss those Christmas past!

We have lost those loved ones that have gone before us.

Kids have grown and moved away!

This year is almost gone,

But encourage yourself as a New One is right around the corner.

God makes all things new...

El Shaddai "The all sufficient One"

He is your refuge and your fortress

This New Year...

Cultivate Dynamic Devotions

His Word is His Will

An Easylife is just a fantasy for the la-la land people.

Get real with yourself, you know the hard times always

Taught you something and strengthened your resolve.

We all have spiritual muscle's and if we don't use them we will

Become weak and weary and of no effect to be used.

Look back and remember how faithful God has been to you!

Every one of us can attest to the goodness of God!

Don't allow the enemy to steal the true Joy

Joy is a gift of the spirit, you have it!!

You just have to activate it every single day!

I have a little sign that says,

~Today I choose JOY~

Hugs And Blessings

Always, Roxy

A Homemaker In The Making...

2025-11-23T17:02:00.001-07:00

Painting By Morgan Weistling

Morgan Weistling Official Site Link

Are you still making your home lovely and cozy?

It seems to be the one place that calms our hearts,

And fill us with that sweet peace...

If you will just focus on your space that has been allotted to you.

You will become blessed and content.

For when we give our homes the light and the love it craves.

You will have a treasure to share and a place to build memories.

We can be simple and clean and lovely.

A home has a heart and it beats with each breath of each day.

Remember the quote

~There's no place like Home~

The world has grown strange to me.

I find a true biblical woman long for those days of

Our children being young and at

home or now maybe our grandchildren

Or Great Grandchildren.

And how it reminds of so many memories.

Time is flying, and I am just slowing just enough to grasp

All the sweet pleasures of home.

Even if they are just memories, I'm rich to remember them!

Don't give up the biblical stance to bless and watch over

Our Homes!!

The enemy has tried to deceive us in so many ways.

But we have determined that this fight is worth it!

Our life on this earth is so brief...

You blink and another day has come and gone.

So may we just remember no matter how old we are;

We are still a homemaker in the making!

Never get old or bitter, no matter the reason!

We are to shine bright!

Learn new things

Love deeper

Be Quiet

Make sure you have smile lines

~Prepare a feast of crackers and butter and jam and tea~

For you my dearest friends;

You are the Queen of Your Homes

So many things have changed;

" Everything changes except God"

You are still being used and bringing glory to God

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me.

Psalms 138:8

Catch a little joy, and keep it close to your heart!

Plod on sweet friends...

One day we will all meet.

What a day of rejoicing that will be...

Hugs and Blessings

Hunting...

This is the time of year many will go hunting;

It's a thing that many find so rewarding.

Getting out into nature, many do it together as a family.

For some, the meat will sustain them through the cold months.

I have always thought of myself as a meat and potatoes gal.

Nothing wrong with salads and fresh fruits and vegetables.

But my body has always thrived on cooked foods.

Elk meat has always been my most favorite meat!

I have not been blogging much lately as my last Blog post

Went absolutely viral,

Only a few comments from my regular sweet blogging friends.

I feel like we are being watched and monitored!

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the divide got wider.

I pretty much prefer a quiet life,

But I will not be silenced.

Something is strange about this time of year;

So many Christians still celebrate Halloween.

Christians vote Democrate's in and claim to be Christians.

Headlines on social media and articles everywhere

Are vying for my attention.

I want my own brain and thoughts back;

I will not comply with what they are telling me.

When I stay in the Word and do what is required of me.

I live in truth, not some AI reality.

I have a brain, and I also have the mind of Christ!

We just returned from a trip where we traveled over 3500 miles.

The trip allowed us to have a different perspective.

We met so many friends and family we have known and loved

For years, but we had little in common when it came to Christ!

Okay, this may be just a ramble, but if I ever get arrested

for being a Christian, will there be enough evidence to convict me?

Here are a few one liners:

Take control of what you think

Stop reading the headlines; their bias

Somebody is lying

Beliefs shape your life, So be careful what you believe.

The Lord has given me abundant life (John 10:10)

Each day is a gift! Unwrap slowly...

Never yield to the gloom. Never let the darkness into

Your soul.

Pray, Be Kind, Use gentle Words

Soul prosperity- It is well with my soul

God will use the ordinary things in your life;

They become extraordinary when His hand is upon it!

Keep, Keeping On

May we not become Lukewarm

Hugs, And Blessings,

Roxy

I took this one morning!

Indoctrination or Education...

2025-09-10T08:54:00.002-06:00

Real Education Or Indoctrination

I am personally appalled at the state of our education system!

I would never allow my children to be in a position where they,

Were being indoctrinated with the narrative of this worlds system.

I tried the public school system and was aghast even way back then,

At what they were trying to pull TDM, the Golden Coin!

New Age Junk!!

The Bible says to teach your own children

To train your own children

Okay, here goes my spiel, or rant...

"Why You Should Home School Your Children"

Every parent should want their children to be,

Educated, not Indoctrinated

We are seeing across our nation the results of,

Ideological collateral damage,

Starting in kindergarten to our prestigious colleges.

The government of your state may see your children as

Property of the State.

(Not your precious gift from the Lord)

Just be aware they are grooming the children,

Instead of teaching the 3 R's

The once great schools, now have professors with an agenda!

I'm not saying every teacher is bad, I'm saying even the

Teachers are being fed the propaganda!

Private Schools may be more regulated.

Christian Schools may be more tempered.

Home Schooling is fitted to individual needs and concerns!

Controlled by the Parents!

Children and even adults are products of their's

Environments'/ They will become like the children they

Are around the most!!

Even as an adult, you will start thinking and acting like

Those you are around the most!

This damage can last for the rest of their lives.

I am careful of who I choose to spend time with,

Because you start taking up their mannerism's,

Their way of thinking!!

When I went to school, we were taught these silly things.

Critical Thinking

Reading comprehension

Math!! Not Core Math

To read a clock that was not digital

To read a Map

To write in Cursive

To sign your name, "Not Print"

To Type

To Read real Books

To Play nice with others

To be kind and courteous

To be responsible, to take care of your books.

Learned to be on time!

I could go on for a long time;

Schools use to be great!

The McGuffy readers and the Bible were text books!

What we must see is this, who is teaching your Children??

A Teacher or an Activist???

At a teacher parent conference now days:

Parents become submissive to the teacher!

Socialism is running our schools!

Communism is what they are striving for!

"Little Robots"

You can't think for yourself anymore!

Do you want to be submissive to the government?

Or Obey God?

Who founded the school system??

Who is running the schools?

Are the schools even safe anymore???

You should teach your children,

Even if it's after they get home from the institution...

Parents must have the confidence, they can acquire everything

They would need to teach their own children-

With all the resources that are available now days!

Dad's and Grandparents can help!

Public Schools did not come over on the Mayflower!

It's not in the 10 Commandments.

Look, be aware of what your children and Grandchildren are being fed!

Processed information with an agenda,

Please be mindful and don't turn a blind eye!

There watching us, so you must be watching them!

Just a note here; all my children are grown, and I have

Great- Grandchildren;

And if anything things have gotten much worse!

Write Letters To Your Children And Grandchildren And Great Grandchildren...

2025-08-19T07:33:00.000-06:00

Writing Letters To All My Children And Grandchildren

And my Great Grandchildren...

I started writing in journals for a few grandchildren;

Just some quotes and words of wisdom

Bible Scriptures my thoughts and such!

But, I have this profound memory of when

My Mother passed away, I just kept thinking

And watching and looking for a letter from her!

One last card in the mail and little note!

Sometimes when I go through some of my things,

I will run across some letters or cards for my Birthday!

Also those recipe cards in my stash of her handwriting.

The sweet memories and the gift of still having it!

So I guess this Fall will be me making the time to write out

A special note card or a letter to each one of them!

I am blessed with a lot of Grandchildren

and two Great-Grandchildren

Iv'e been thinking of that sweet song

Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World

Every Single One

They Are Precious In His Sight

I will continue to Write and Post on this Blog;

Untill I hear otherwise

History is just the past

Now is what we are doing

Future is doing it better

We will always offend someone,

even if we try to keep the peace!

Beware Of The Chatter and Confusion...

2025-08-16T08:53:00.000-06:00

Working By Faith

Everything that I will do in my life as a Christian;

But actually everything I will do today!

Not by sheer will power, as that will just wear you out!

Because we are infused with Christ Strength!

We must allow ourselves to lean into His Power.

Love the scripture the Joy of the Lord is my strength

Nehemiah 8:10

We must not grieve and be overwhelmed;

We must arise each day and read His Holy Word;

Not all the apostasy on the internet.

Read the Word yourself...

Put your hand into the hand of Christ.

He will lead and guide you into the truth!

But if we will just be diligent in what He has already

asked us to do we will find the strength to be keepers

Of our homes and postions he has given us!

I can see and hear that many are getting off the course;

Telling us we are being lied to about the Church and Israel!

Turn it off

Rest in knowing the Holy Spirit will guide you

"Into All Truth"

Mind your own buisness

Humble Yourselves

Feast On God's Word

If your in Christ and Saved By Grace

Beware of Apostasy...

Never forget true Christians are the Church

But Israel still holds a place in Gods plan and heart!

God will not be mocked!

They are just trying to confuse you!

The tension is not good

Distance yourself from the chaos!

What is the motive for this?

Your still called to share the Gospel!

We are called to be Christlike!

The same old battle to gain what ground?

I'm staying in my own lane;

Minding my own home!

You can just feel the anger and tension!

No Thanks...

Blessings To All

How to Pick A Brides Maid And Your Maid Of Honor...

2025-08-08T16:50:00.001-06:00

How To Choose Your Brides Maid's

What Should You Look For In A Brides Maid?

Or A Maid-of- Honor To stand up with you

In your Wedding?

I'm writing this post on this topic, because I have seen

Disastrous situation's from having someone in your wedding party,

Completely ruining a lovely wedding!

Now, as we all know a wedding is one of the most important

Ceremonies in a couple's relationship.

And this is something that is actually a covenant made with God!

I know the Bride may feel she must ask family members,

To be a part of her wedding party!

Or asking an old friend that does not hold her values.

I know it can be a sticky situation!

Your feeling pressured and Mothers and Mother in laws

Can put you on the spot!

But after being a part of weddings and being a guest

at Weddings for years, I have obsrved how bad choices of who is

in your wedding, can ruin the atmosphere.

I may be old fashion, but it seems to me that if you are standing up

for a Bride and Groom to make a vow to stay together for life.

Would you not want someone who will help you to cherish your marriage?

Not, disagree with their choice.

And to be happy for them and desire to celebrate their union?

Drama and the look at me syndrome is not apprpriate for a brides maid.

Marriage ceremonies should be holy and sweet!

You are there to serve and help the Bride!

Not to take control and to overcome everything.

So this all being said;

Pick those that will love and support you!

Standing up along side someone in a marriage ceremony,

Is not a play but a serious matter in the site of God!

I have seen Brides so hurt and devestated by the actions,

of those she picked to stand with her.

And if they do not respect your Husband to be;

Do not choose them, just to be polite, or to please others!

Your Wedding Day Should Be Special And Filled With Love!

~Surround Yourself With Those that Will Make It The Best Day Ever~

Straighten Up And Fly Right...

2025-07-29T11:34:00.001-06:00

Suffering, Sorrow, Storms...

What is something all these things have in our lives?

These are the very things that God will use in our lives;

To produce Faith and Endurance!

Wimpy, Watered Down, Living situations,

Will produce weak and unstable hearts and minds.

When we get everything we want without any struggles,

You will never build up any strength!

There has been a barrage of mental illness;

In a world that has never been told to straighten up

And to fly right,

We condone weirdness, and bizarreness as this culture has been

The god of this world

We are told to gird up our hearts and minds.

When we are told to be set apart, it means to

Not look like the world, talk like the world, act like the world.

It does not mean we cannot have fun or celebrate the good things!

Put on tender Mercies each day

Cover yourself with garments of Praise

Set a Guard over your mouth

Run from the wickedness that lurks

Beware of what you mark yourself with...

God is the only one that marks us for good works

People act and dress like clowns, or maybe everyday

They celebrate halloween spirits to scare something away?

They scare me...

I use to be a people watcher, no more;

I mind my own business;

I do not want to give them the attention they seek!

Just because everyone else is doing it does not make it right

Okay, enough

Lets walk in a way that pleases the Lord

Can we just dress with dignity?

Anything that was done for self-display

or self-glory will fail to receive a reward.

The steady resolve of just one person can turn

the tide of a battle.

Watch your step

Stay in the light

Shell Shocked and proud of it...

Blessings, Roxy

Who Actually Makes These Rules Anyways....

2025-07-22T09:24:00.001-06:00

Some things just need to find their flow...

Rules

So many rules that we have in our own lives.

Which are actually of our own choosing mostly.

These may have been the very things that have stunted our

"Spiritual Walk and our Peace of Mind"

You must figure out how you are unique,

And what fills your life with true you...

We are not cookie cutter people;

We are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Sometimes we can be triggered by thinking;

I need to do this or that!

Who makes these rules anyways?

You hear that voice in your head...

You are supposed to be doing this and that now!!

That makes you feel sick to your stomach?

And most the time it is things don't really matter!

We must change this feeling of dread into doing

The things that blend into the harmony

Of your wellbeing

Sometimes it could just

Be that changing the time of day you do something.

Planning things when you have more strength!

Or clarity of mind.

"All of our Christian life is learning to be a Christian"

And this cannot happen in the same way for everyone.

So we should blend all are wonderful

Energies and experiences into a sweeter rhythm of our days

"It is about bringing our hearts and minds into complete

Subjection to our King"

So many are feeling overwhelmed and heavy hearted;

Stop and ask the Lord how to re-orchestrate your days.

I no longer what be a part of the Rat-Race or

The status queue...

The conquest of this may be slow,

But so worth the peace and calm!

And I also think you will be more able to hear

~His Still Small Voice~

Always, Living From Glory To Glory

The Greatest Mathematical Exercise In The Universe...

2025-07-11T08:47:00.001-06:00

I don't want to just merely exist.

I want to live aware and alive, and on purpose.

I want to learn and create something special daily.

Our days are a holy gift.

I want the light of my ordinary days filled with joy;

And every day miracles...

~And this is how we do it~

Slow down, Love your life! "Because it's a gift"

Rest on a Holy Rest "He has made provisions"

Create something, "Even if it's just a peaceful atmosphere"

If you are a fighter, "Then Fight for Joy"

I realized that counting my blessings

Is the greatest mathematical exercise in the universe!

A thankful heart adds purpose and clarity to your day!

Time is speeding up, so to counteract this we slow down;

And savor the moments and seasons!

I will not be robbed of the precious moments,

I am given each day!

Use your gifts every day!

If we do not encourage others, they will slowly wilt.

(Like a plant that is not given a drink)

~I want to be someone who has a teachable spirit~

I want the Lord to look at this daughter and say,

I think I will give her another portion of chocolate cake,

Because she enjoyed that first slice I gave her so much!

If you will take what He has given you,

And use it to bless or encourage others.

He will give you more...

Especially if we give it away or share it!

A story:

I remembered one time many years ago, when I went with a friend we had a special day planned, we were going shopping together. Back in the day, this was a big deal! We headed out and what an impact the trip was for me. Spiritually and learning a lesson!

So we traveled for a Shopping day in a different city. As she was wanting to spend some birthday money, her Father had sent her for her Birthday. And she was wanting to buy some art products, because she is an artist. And as we were having tea and scones in a little tea shop. (Her Treat for me) She pulled out some money and handed it to me, and I said what's this for? And she said it's no fun shopping together if you don't have part of the special gift I was given. I want to share my Birthday blessings with you!

So, I guess the moral of this story is this.

It touched me so profoundly!

Be A Giver, In your time, your money, your talents, your joys! Because it's a gift to be used and enjoyed!

My Quote:

An eye for an eye will leave the

Whole world blind!

Love Ya All So Much

There Are Only Two Tracks, Beware Of Your Surroundings...

2025-07-02T08:51:00.000-06:00

Past, Present And Future...

The Narrow Way

And The Road That leads To Destruction

Have you ever had this feeling;

You were headed down the wrong path?

Or you found yourself in the wrong place;

In a very wrong timing?

Every single day we are up against the responsibility

To be accountable of where and when we are in any

Given situation...

It's not like I'm real big on intuition,

But, if you have even just once known that you knew,

You were not in a good place or situation!

We hopefully have all heard the phrase in these last

Few years is this one...

"Have your head on a swivel"

Look around people

There are a few bad apples out there

They are just lurking around looking for maybe

Who or What they can steal, kill or defile?

Hey, remember I'm the positive and encourage other Blogger,

Kinda gal!!

But, I would not be a good friend if I did not tell you

Or warn you of this undercurrent that is spilling over!

It's like a floodgate has opened and lawlessness as was

Given the okay to just flood every city and town.

Look around, they are watching you out of the corner of their eye.

I use to feel safe and go anywhere by myself,

Well, NO MORE

My Grandma back in the day would say,

Those Hoolagins are up to No GOOD!

I know with all my heart that we must make good choices!

What and Where we go and the things we do;

If you make yourself vulnerable, remember this;

All have a consequence!

For yourself and others!

So what this post is trying to convey to you all is this!

Be aware of your surroundings;

Be loving and kind, But not stupid...

These Hooligans usually work in a pack.

One is watching, one is scoping, one is trying to

Get your attention!

Never park next to a Van!!!!!!

If there is a flyer on your windshield on your window

Do Not Touch It

If there is writing on your car, Beware they have targeted you!

If there are two people in a car parked by yours, Beware,

They may be trying to grab your purse or steal your car!

If they have a gas can and ask for help, Beware!

Just saying: Because I've had all these happen.

Then when something happens, we hear I never saw this coming!

Well, I have had the unfortunate experience

In the Past of being a target...

So at the Present time in my life, I will be wise!

"Be mindful of who is around you!"

So in the Future, You can protect yourself and

Your loved ones by having the inner alarm fined tuned!

Behold, I send you out as sheep

In the midst of wolves.

Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

But beware of men.

Matthew 10:16

The whole world is a mission field.

Share when you can

Use wisdom

So stay on the right track

Going in the right direction

And in the right timing...

Run, turn around, never put yourself in a position

Of being harmed in any way!!

A gentle Warning To You All...

~I Care About Your Safety~

Always, Roxy

The Touch Of Beauty

2025-06-23T10:16:00.000-06:00

The Touch Of Beauty

What I perceive this to look like,

It is the very things you may have done yesterday;

And the very things you can still do today!

This beauty resides in the earnest words you spoke

To someone who sorely needed encouragement.

The new vision you sparked in someone's heart!

This Is A Touch Of Beauty

Share those ideas and words that create and inspire!

There is a heavenly plan for each of us;

But when you can come along and leave a lovely

Thought or a vision of inspiration.

"It becomes like a burning star to guide or give light,

To the very thing another person is to be doing."

Helping one another in this journey.

To leave a friend or a stranger with an inspired idea,

Is a bit like a heavenly dew.

Refreshed and full of life once again.

Remember there is nothing new under the sun

Scripture tells us, so we are all in this together.

So many have lost so much and when the spark becomes

But a cold dark ember, we must add some kindling,

Help fan the flame of someone's dream.

Some of these ideas were never meant for you;

But to share with another to help them do

The very thing you may see in your mind's eye.

Some ideas are for you alone, but mostly

These plans our placed within us before we are even born!

But yes we are our brother's keeper!

Help them to plod on

Share your light and see another prosper,

To finally be able to write that story, paint that picture.

To make a part of this world to be more beautiful.

And filled with...

~The Touch Of Beauty~

Best Wishes For A Blessed And Beautiful Life

Hold The Fort...

2025-06-16T18:26:00.001-06:00

~Be Faithful~

"Faith Honors God"

God Honors Faith...

True Faith produces people who are stable;

They look to God for Wisdom!

Knowing He will respond!

"Everything we do must be done by Faith"

Ask the Lord to protect your mind;

In these days as in the days of Noah,

We can see so many who are unstable,

They fly off the handle. Road rage is common.

They cry be tolerant of my bizarre looks and character.

The stranger the better they try to stand out!

Express yourself...

Humble yourselves before the Lord,

And He will lift you up!

James 4:10

True Elevation

It seems like things heat up in every arena,

But please don't be a Hot Head!

Watch and Listen

Cool Down

Just Breathe

Be stable and not double minded!

Worry Kills, but confidence in God is like

A healing balm...

"Trials do not make us what we are;

They reveal what we are!"

Greeting to all of my friends,

We are friends in a unique and different way.

Because most of us have never met!

But there is a bright future just down the road a spell.

So, Hold the Fort For He is Coming Again...

Here is a little photo of the 4 Jumpers

I have made so far!

I did the pleats on three of them, because the gathering

Made me Look Fluffy (SMILE)

I just want to encourage each of you to slow down;

Try to be mindful of the birds singing,

Take pleasure in whatever you set your hand too!

And Don't Forget To:

Leave A Sparkle Wherever you Go

It May Be Time To Pull Back And Listen...

2025-06-08T10:44:00.000-06:00

Sometimes We Just Need to Be Shielded

From the Onslaught of Busy...

Be Still And Know That I Am God

~ Enjoy the little things in life.

But one day you'll look back and realize

They were the Big Things~

I absolutely love this quiet season!

Some seasons are so busy you can't hear yourself think!

It's not that I want to hear myself think;

But rather hear the Lord directing my thoughts.

When you are not able to focus and you sense

a fever of the dreaded squirrel disorder!

It is time to pull back and re-adjust.

When the voices become a blur and you can't distinguish,

What is truly being said, you must slow down and be

Quick to listen...

I remember as a young girl being able to run everywhere!

After all, I had a pair of those PF Flyer Tennis Shoes.

But, I mostly just go at a steady pace.

Not quick or too slow

But moving in the right direction.

My calender is not so full of having to be here or there!

If I have the strength to do more on any given day;

I will just fly by the seat of my pants;

(Or Jumper)

God is always doing something new in our hearts

~If we will let Him~

When, I make a mistake when I am writing in my journal,

I will just pick out a pretty sticker and cover it up!

Don't make the mistake of not taking the time

To notice the little things in your day.

And if you do make a mistake ask God to forgive you!

And put a pretty sticker over the blunder!

The Word Says Love Covers a multitude of sins...

Happy Quiet Days

Much Love and Appreciation For Each

And Every One Of You...

Hugs, Roxy

Being Self-Taught Can Be A Hard Thing, But A Good Thing...

2025-06-04T07:57:00.002-06:00

Self- Taught in just about everything!

I am going to make this pattern in a mock first using

A nice cotton muslin fabric first!

Before I start cutting out the pattern on the pretty

fabric I purchased for this Laura Ashley pattern!

I've had this sewing machine forever,

Nothing fancy but it's strong and reliable!

Being self-taught is a bit of a challenge!

I think we have stopped handing down many things

To the next generation!

Over the years I have told myself, you can do this!

Now, grant you I may be in the category

"Jack of all trades and master of none"

But it has not stopped me from trying and learning!

I bought a beautiful piano and I'm still trying to teach myself.

I have had two different teachers that both lasted maybe a month.

I've taken watercolor painting classes in person and online.

I have been doing some sewing again after 30 years;

Sewing up some cotton jumpers!

The patterns might as well be written in Japanese!

Even the pictures are confusing?!#

But, the point I am trying to make is this;

We can learn new things without an instructor or teacher!

Mind you it would be nice to have some help.

But, in reality no one has time anymore.

One thing we have are helpful videos on the internet!

We can order books to teach ourselves!

Never stop short of learning a new skill;

Or advancing to a new level!

And remember it is so good for our brains too

Learn new skills and to follow directions.

I was not born with natural abilities in sewing or painting

But I didn't let it stop me from trying...

And we can help someone else to just try to learn

A new hobby or craft!

Share what you have learned!

I have this memory of my Mother teaching herself;

Of many things knitting, sewing, canning!

But while she was still here, I failed to learn from her

As much as I should have.

May we always be teachable of the things of the Lord.

But yet not afraid to dig deep into His Word all by ourselves.

Never stop creating beauty in your heart and your home!

Oh, I forgot to mention the one crafty thing that I have just

Had a ball doing, and it's called "Junk Journaling"

It's so much fun and relaxing!

I need to do a little post on this craft very soon!

What is a craft or project you have learned or taught yourself??

Blessings, Roxy

Making And Keeping Good Friends...

2025-05-26T07:50:00.002-06:00

~Making and Keeping Friends~

Now, this can be harder than you might think.

Because if you have been alive long enough to experience;

True friendship it is a treasure!

I have been gifted with some true blue friends!

" It is worth while to make friends if they are worthy"

Now, what does that even mean?

Have you ever even thought about

What makes a good friend?

Is this something we even talk about?!

Do we even try to teach others about being a good friend?

In grade school, you might remember being treated as a friend

And the next day you've not even talked to by that group of girls.

I remember being crushed by their cruelty.

Even as a grown woman, I have experienced the rejection

from someone I thought was my friend.

That is why we must look to the true standards of friendship.

Firstly, we must extend Grace...

And realize friendships require love and time.

And a friendship should not be one sided.

What I mean is that you have to always initiate it!

That becomes exhausting!

As wives, and mothers, we must keep our energy

for our families!

So, we must wise in who we allow into our lives.

True friendships will build you up, and encourage you!

True friends do not quickly judge you.

Because they know your heart and motive;

They consider that you may be going through a trial.

And in this world you may be falsely accused,

But be of good courage...

Christ asked us to give our lives for those friendships.

That is why we only need those friendships

That God has put in your lives!

I once prayed for God to remove all the friendships

I had that were not from Him...

And a few just were gone (POOF)

No friendship should be formed

Which is not beautiful enough for Heaven!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And do not quickly desire a close relationship with

Someone we have just met.

Beware of those who are very needy.

Remember to be a good friend takes strength and energy.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

To have a good friend you must be a good friend!

But really I have seen a shift in people not being able

to attend to those relationships anymore.

And that is okay also.

So maybe we just must take better care

of the few you may have left!

So we should hang tightly those

Friendships that were a treasure given to us!

Do not let them go!!!

I also want to extend condolences to those that have lost

A precious friend...

Much Love and Grace to All My Precious Friends...

Hugs, Roxy

Are Your a Wild Bear Or a Pooh Bear?

2025-05-18T08:19:00.002-06:00

Are you wild at Heart?

I bet many of you are!

But, I must say the wild and yearning in my life;

Is much tamer as the years have come and gone in my life.

I prefer a comfy place to tend to my thoughts and ambitions.

I read about great adventures and daring feats.

But I feel safe in my world of predictable.

I'm not talking about the unexpected things in life that

no matter who or where we are will to be affected by!

But, I do not take risks that are unnecessary anymore!

Driving in rain storms and climbing high up into the mountains.

I prefer the tranquil country road!

I feel like Winnie the Pooh

I want my honeypot and to get out of the blustery day!

But, I am still young at heart!

I sometimes look into the mirror and wonder

Who that old lady is??

But alas it is me older and wiser

And filled with a deep down contentment mostly.

The unrest comes when I read or watch those things,

That try to show me there is something better or more for me!

I want to see more of this amazing world.

But traveling anymore seems like so much work.

So I will just have to live adventerous in my own backyard!

This day and your life is made up of living fully

One at a time...

This is me now!

Live and enjoy this day!!

Find comfort in those small cozy places;

in your heart and your home!

Blessings, Roxy

Giving Thanks Before Eating Our Meals...

2025-05-13T08:28:00.003-06:00

God's Provisions...

Jesus took the Loaves and gave thanks for them.

One memory that I remember growing up was saying Grace.

We must not ever waste his bounties.

I have read this saying;

"Loaves unblessed are loaves unmultiplied."

If Jesus did this before partaking of food

or serving it to others. I do think with all my heart

this is a wonderful to thank God for his provisions.

So, we should make a habit and pause and thank God.

Before eating our meals. Even if it's just yourself sitting

down for a quick lunch or a feast with friends.

Many times if we are with unbelievers we have to do this

Quietly and yet unapologetically!

If we will give thanks and eat in faith, we will

Always enjoy what we have been given to sustain our bodies.

~Make some fresh bread and break it and give thanks~

Oh, but don't forget the butter!!

Saying Grace is a bit like this;

We are saved by GRACE...

Do You Say Grace?

We bless God when we do!

As always: Living From Glory To Glory

It's just some days are harder then others...

Hugs, Roxy

RECOGNITION IN HEAVEN

2025-05-06T08:45:00.001-06:00

Recognition In Heaven

I have been thinking about this lately.

Maybe because it's almost Mothers Day;

Or because a very special friend passed away.

Or remembering all those that have gone before me.

My time has not come...

I can think of so many family members and friends!

They have left this earth.

My hope and prayer is that they have gone on to Heaven!

Heaven to me is my Heavenly Home that has been

Prepared in advance for my Homecoming.

I can't even imagine not knowing each and every person that,

I ever knew in my lifetime will recognize me and I them!

I will be with all those my life had ever touched.

It could even be a seed or prayer that entwined our paths.

I miss those that have gone before me.

It's amazing to think that God made me a Heavenly Home;

And Christ paid the price for me to have an eternal Home;

And so many will be there to know me and recognize me!

Our true family...

All our relationships bound together through Christ

Will be deepened and enriched...

Will I see You There?

Much Love and Blessings Roxy
