Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
My Grandmother used this brand. And chose the old fashion that took longer to make.
Warm delicious comfort food that went a long way and was affordable is just right for the tummy. And when it’s made for you by a loved one, it tastes even better.
On Sunday mornings before Church, or when we were home for dinner. This is one of the meals that reminded me of my childhood. The comfort food that truly was comforting. It filled me up and stayed with me till dinner time.
Southern cooking. And to me my Grandmother was the best cook in the world. Yes, I am sorry to say better than my Mothers because my Mother was a working Mom back then.
Praising GOD on Sunday, eating a good meal and meeting your Church family was like food for the soul and food for the body all in one day!
And let’s not forget the slab bacon slice you get with your grits and one egg. As a child, I had a glass of milk or juice to wash it down. 😋
Just one slice is all you need of fried seasoned pork belly or slab bacon.
That’s not a video of my Grandmother cooking the bacon. But l remember what I ate, and learned how to fix it in a cast iron skillet as she did.
She was a wise GODLY woman. Taught me how to be like her. And to make a good breakfast. Thank you GOD for my Grandmother and the wisdom she gave me.
Proverbs 22:6
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Inner peace just being alone talking to our LORD and savior.
The feeling of confidence and even being secure about yourself I will say comes from the LORD
And knowing your limitations without being insecure. You know what you can handle. If you have tried before to do a particular thing with a sincere effort
But then realizing that is not for you and you move on. Not your calling. It was taking away your inner peace. It doesn’t fit just like the wrong piece to puzzle.
Being happy does not depend on others for it.
If you have to depend on others to be happy, you will be disappointed. When you depend on the LORD GOD, you will never be disappointed. GOD knows your heart. Whatever is wrong, GOD will ll fix it if you have your faith in check.
Being confident, but not conceited.
Be confident in the LORD. Not by your own strength. We can not do anything without our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS to get through this fallen world.
So, by knowing your limitations and keeping your contact with GOD and HIS SON JESUS, we can do all things .
Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
King James Version (KJV)
And that’s what is my favorite thing I like about me. Keeping my faith in GOD gives me the confidence, peace, and encouragement I need.
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?
Sewing clothes to wear or anything that I can make to sell from the sewing machine.
I would love to believe I am a virtuous woman. I would love to be so because not only am I aiming to be the best I can. But there are some similarities between what the chapter said this woman had done can do.
So this means all of us can have goals to obtain or maintain. It is not easy to be righteous. Sometimes the road of righteousness can be slippery just one spilt second and you can begin to fall. But you get back up and keep on moving along.
My goal I have chosen is to please GOD 1st, and then that will intern please too because I am being righteous by GOD.
As how Kermit the frog would say it ain’t easy being green? It’s not easy being a Christian either !
Proverbs 31:10-31King James Version
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates
Read GOD’S word for encouragement every day!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😃😃😃🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
When I retire as I am sure many do want no Bill’s laying around on your way of being retired from a job.
If these two are retired, healthy, financially secure and happy that’s why they smile!❤❤❤
When you have put your years into the secular jobs you have had that were honest but not Christian based you want to relax and have fun
I see people at work who will be retiring soon in a month or two. Those people say that they will find plenty to do when they leave.
But for those of us who love the LORD know our jobs you fo not retire from because being a messenger of GODS word is a life long job I do love.
I don’t want to see anyone be left behind and not know the goodness of GOD a d HIS grace through HIS son JESUS.
If we as Christian people dont spread the good news to give people the good news and they have never heard it, how will they then know?
Sharing prayer and the word of GOD. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Let us share the grace of GOD. If a person already knows when you speak to them you now know another person who is in the body of Christ JESUS!❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It’s a mother’s thing. The first of your children to be born. You are in awe of what two people have made through GOD’S blessings!
When my Mom held her first grandchild, that was priceless. The look on my Mom face and how she her 1st granddaughter it had touched me so. I had no camera at the time to take the picture of this precious moment.
But it is still fresh in my mind as if it happened an hour ago. Wow! My Mom was so overjoyed that she was almost in tears of joy. That was the coolest thing I have ever seen.
And to think about the process of GOD’S design of procreation! The blessing of child birth, how life was on the womb as another person growing with in. And then coming out to live their own lives . And to procreate as in GOD’S perfect design
Genesis 1:28
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?
Since I was a child, I have believed in GOD. I learned as I got older more about salvation. I wanted to be like JESUS, for I saw HIM as my savior then as I do now.
Faith and trust in our JESUS is a gift from GOD. Away from this fallen world into heaven to be with our beloved FATHER GOD.
I have had many situations in life where I had to call on JESUS for help to get me out of. And HE did just that .There is nothing that our beloved JESUS can not do.
Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
King James Version (KJV)
We faith for our prayers to be answered. If you don’t have faith, then you are saying in a way that your prayers will be answered before you even pray. 😔😔😔
How are you doing today? I do hope all is well. These days and times are getting harder and harder for those of us who aim to stick close to GOD. There seems to be even more confusion among people who do not know GOD, HIS son JESUS, or the Holy Ghost. And nothing about salvation.
You will find those people who do not know anything about being morally correct where never taught it, so they do not know what they are doing. It applies to everywhere there are people who are in any medical field, customer service of any kind, walking along the street, or driving. There is not common courtesy toward others.
No art of conversation of talking to people eye to eye and understanding exactly what a person is trying to say. The art of conversation is gone now because of texting and emojis. When we text a person and you are not facing them, you can misunderstand them entirely.
The moral standards off today has people turning against each other and causing divisions even more so than with even a regular conversation when we are quick to speak and not listen.
James 1:19
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:”
King James Version (KJV)
If we do not listen to the person complete their thought in the conversation, you will not totally understand what point they are making. You will assume the point they are making. Which then can cause another situation.
We all need to know the moral guide tool that our beloved FATHER GOD has given the world to read. The Holy Bible is a guide to living right. I has given us examples of how our ancestors prospered and was successful in life and how they failed by doing things their way and not GODs way. GODs way is the right way and only way to get into heaven to be with HIM, JESUS and the HOLY Ghost for all eternity.
Upon looking up when prayer was taken out of schools, according to Wikipedia it was in 1962. That would be 61 years ago. And from what my elders say, the decline in manners, and respect for other went out the door with it. There was some basis for morals back then from what I hear. People did bad things then too, but there was not “Gay Pride” month then either.
People are made of the flesh, and this is our weakness. We get caught up in things that we shouldn’t because of the flesh. Sexual sin is one of them. It will distract you from GOD, tear a family apart, give a person low self-esteem from abuse, abuse people before of lust, have same sex attractions, pay for sex, lust after people they should not, fall into adultery, have a STD, do perverted sex.
And many will say that they have sexual freedom to do what they want. They can. But sin is a separation from our beloved GOD. HE doesn’t condone sex outside of marriage for men and women who are heterosexual. And Homosexuality is beyond a sin it is an abomination to GOD.
Leviticus 18:22
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”
King James Version (KJV)
Leviticus 18:23
“Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.”
King James Version (KJV)
When we have not been leading the children to GOD they have been led to the devil and his evil. Making people sin through the weakness of the flesh to be separated from our beloved GOD. If we do not teach children the righteous path that GOD has taught us who will? I will never be satan that is for sure.
This about sin, not the person. Just like JESUS loved the person and not the sin, this is how we all need to remember as we talk about anything that will be sensitive to another person. We will need to talk to people the exact same way.
If they do not know about salvation, and how much GOD does love them, it is a sorry state of events that will happen. They will have no one to lead them to JESUS, satan will step in. Knowing full well that the parent won’t do anything either. For if schools don’t allow prayer, then satan will step in and do this.
Remember. This man was once a child. He does not look as though he could have been around when there was prayer in school. So, no seed of rightness or salvation may not have been planted in him. He is teaching lies and confusion to children, the same lies confusion he was taught about males from satan as he was a child.
GOD said for man and woman to be fruitful and multiply. If men only want to be with men, that will not happen. If women only want to be with women that will not happen either. So, you see how the devil was allowed into the schools? By pushing away GOD who loves us mankind, for satan who come to destroy us mankind.
If all mankind chooses to be gay, the generations will end and there will be not more humans are to be born. These drag queens are from what I see under 61 years old. So, if they never learned anything about prayer and the LORD GOD respectfully anywhere, they are the end result. Confusion. I do not want to see anyone have regrets at the last minute when they stand before JESUS. And when they see that they were wrong and could have saved their souls and repented from this confusion or any other confusion.
Some may they feel that being gay is a part of them like an arm. They have been lied to by the devil and the devil doesn’t want them into heaven when GOD does.
Know how JESUS talked to the woman at the well, HE had compassion for her as he told her about her sexual sin too.
What is the significance of the woman at the well?
“The story of the Samaritan woman, also known as the woman at the well, draws our attention to the central themes of the Gospel. By approaching her, Jesus demonstrates His care for all, regardless of their social standing. We can also be inspired by the Samaritan woman’s excitement in sharing the good news of Jesus.

What is the significance of the woman at the well?
What happened to the woman at the well in the Bible?
Save your children and keep them away from this confusion, home school if you can. Pray with your children and teach them GODS way not the way of the world. Think about the future of not only your children, but for the entire world. These people will grow up. Who will be able to work in the armed forces, policemen and women, doctors, lawyers, teachers and pastors? Can you imagine a drag queen at the battle field in uniform or giving as a EMS worker CPR as a medic?
Peace and blessings to you all. Continue to pray at all times!
In this day and age, there are places on this planet that do not like us Christian people. Places where we are not allowed to be openly a Christian or openly pray.
Never thought that in my time, I would hear about people giving up their lives as a fo now. In countries, I will hear about village people being harmed horriblely or put to death.
In this country, we do have the luxury of openly saying you are a Christian, to go to Church and worship
Reading the word of GOD even by yourself and getting caught doing so by unbelievers in others countries can be fatal.
Religious freedom is not a given in many parts of the world. According to the Pew Research Center, more than 80% of the world’s governments interfered with their citizens’ religious worship in some way in 2019. Furthermore, although Christianity is the world’s largest religion, Christians are in no way immune to persecution. For example, Islamic countries often view other religions as heretical, an affront to Allah, which is considered an extremely serious crime. Communist countries, by comparison, often outlaw all religion—which Karl Marx famously deemed the “opiate of the masses”—preferring that the government be the only authority guiding people’s concept of fairness and one’s role in society.
Illegal versus persecuted
Whether or not Christianity is legal or illegal in a given country can be difficult to determine. There are two main reasons for this confusion. First, the laws themselves can be convoluted and often appear to contradict themselves. What’s more, the regimes that are most likely to restrict freedom of religion are the same regimes that are more likely to be secretive and/or deceptive about differences between the letter of the law and its real-world implementation.
Be thankful you are a Christian here in this country today. And continue to pray to keep this luxury forever.
What are the most important things needed to live a good life?
Peace. Peace with GOD. Peace with all mankind. It’s a hope and prayer, too. To be in unity and harmony.
The gift and blessings GOD gives us mankind. The freedom to make it into heaven. JESUS is the way. Giving us a good life because HE is in our lives.
To avoid negative people and things. These things distract you from the goodness of GOD. From being in tune with righteousness that can only come from FATHER GOD.
When we people are hard-headed and choose not to listen to GOD, we will do the opposite of what falls into the place of GOD’S design for a good life.
I guess you can call it a bad life because whatever is the opposite of good is bad. But if you are in the chosen bad life and do not like mess you are in what do you do about?
If you feel lonely and alone and seek after people to make you happy, that won’t work. People will leave you for one reason or another. Depending on people, they never will give you the satisfaction you need.
Only GOD will and can. HE gave us the HOLY Trinity! This is explained well here.
Trinity, in Christian doctrine, the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. The doctrine of the Trinity is considered to be one of the central Christian affirmations about God. It is rooted in the fact that God came to meet Christians in a threefold figure: (1) as Creator, Lord of the history of salvation, Father, and Judge, as revealed in the Old Testament; (2) as the Lord who, in the incarnated figure of Jesus Christ, lived among human beings and was present in their midst as the “Resurrected One”; and (3) as the Holy Spirit, whom they experienced as the helper or intercessor in the power of the new life.
Begin your day with GOD, prayer, and seeking continuously after GOD,and JESUS. Salvation is the only way into heaven by JESUS.
