“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”
King James Version (KJV)
Making tomato Sause from the tomatoes from the garden I tell you is a yearly treat that will have you know that you are blessed to have our beloved FATHER GOD allow you to grow your veggies!
We picked enough to fill a 5-quart crock pot or slow cooker if you prefer, which was about 5 to ten pounds. You don’t have to add but a 1/2 cup of water to the batch because there is a lot of water in tomatoes.
I cut them up after coring them, left the skins on. We don’t mind the skins and the seeds. The Sause will cook down smooth in about 8 hours.
Use you crock pot or slow cooker. On medium to get it going and not to burn. Check and stir to see if it is sticking at the bottom or else the whole batch will taste burnt.
I this as after about 3 hours in the crock pot.
Take out the stick blender and work at it until it looks like this. Season with salt and pepper and whatever you want in it. Wash and sterilize your lids and canning jars. Fill the jars with the sause 1/2 from the top of the jar. Put into canner with an inch of water in the canner. Use the metal grid at the bottom of the canner, add the quarts for the required time at your sea level and size of your canning jars. Check for more info at this site below!
Now see, after all of the hard work you have made tomato Sause that can be used the whole year long depending on how fast you use it. And this will give you the feeling of your hard work being fulfilled and filling for all of your meals. I do thank GOD for being able to do this too. Without GOD we cannot do anything.
I hope you all are well and safe 🙏🏾. We all need to eat at some time during the day. And to make sure we are eating right. I was raised by southern traditions even though my parents were New Yorkers.
The moral standards, manners, and types of food are a part of it. My grandmother was a very good and excellent cook.
So I will say southern cooking would be my specialty. I like that as a ten on a scale of 1 to ten.
Homemade bread straight from the oven.Macatoni an chesse made from scratch. Collards straight from the garden to the pot.han4Ham, carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic stew!Mashed potatoes with garlic and butter milk.Baked chicken in butter.Raise bread made in bread maker. Plain white bread. Beans and rice.Beef and vegetables
Genesis 9:3 – Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Psalms 34:8 – O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Genesis 1:29 – And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Matthew 4:4 – But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Beef stew.Banana bread.
I will tell you that all of the food shown was eaten. All I have left are these pictures. 😀 I am told it all was delicious!
I do hope that you all are doing well in these last days. For as well go from day to day we will cling even closer to our beloved FATHER GOD for guidance, protection and pure loving comfort. Where else will we get such peace and comfort?
In theses days and times, we all need to remember the fruit of the spirit. For these fruits will be nourished by our beloved savior JESUS. It needs to grow strong and be to continue to flourish as we stay in GODS word.
Let it be so now as when you see the word “fruit” or see “fruit” of any kind to remind you of the fruit of the spirit from Galatians 5:22_23 kjv. It will help you to remember this scripture. It works for me. Going into the grocery store you will see fruit.
We all need to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, peace towards others, joy to share with others so they will feel encouraged. We may have long suffering in life and will have perfect peace in heaven when we are allowed in, gentleness when we speak and interact with others.
Keeping our faith strong and steady, following the goodness of JESUS as how HE led by example as a man here on earth. Meekness and Temperence as we live on this earth with those who are not saved. For those who do not love GOD will test you every single chance you get.
They are led by evil. And don’t even know what they are doing, they are not concerned about getting into heaven.
Stay clear of those who seek to steal your joy at any point in time, that is a warning that they are up to no good. Keep your faith strong and thank GOD for all of your blessings!
Most people have no clue that I write a blog. Let alone a Christian blog at that. They are consumed in the things that they do that is non-Christian so much that they feel so relaxed around me and begin to talk about the situations they are involved in that put them into trouble.
By the time they know what I do, it is in shock. And they feel convicted about what they have said and have done. I can’t judge them, only GOD is the judge. We all have sinned; this is why our beloved JESUS had to come to earth to save us all.
I have not even said anything about the LORD at all. And they are surprised when I tell them that I don’t get paid for it either!
I do these posts to give GOD the glory, tell others about salvation, so that they too will know about the LORD and be saved. We all will need to have our souls end up somewhere good for all eternity. But many people assume that if they are a good person they will end up in heaven on the works that they do.
Not so.
Ephesians Chapter 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
If we messengers do not spread the word of GOD to others, they may never know. And since most people do not read the word of GOD, they will be a good person going to hell because they did not accept JESUS as their savior.
And this is not good. It is awful to think about. When you see a football stadium filled with people, imagine how many of them will actually be going to heaven. Heaven is big enough for us all if we choose to be right by GOD and obey HIS loving will.
I do hope that we all behave, repent, ask JESUS into our lives and make it in there to heaven. We will all meet up there seeing each other for the first time and be as one there standing before our beloved FATHER GOD.
I do hope you all are well and blessed. In these days and times as we see the Biblical prophesies unfolding before our eyes. For those of us who study the word of GOD know that these are the last days. We see the famines, changes in the weather, the destruction that is done the senseless killings of babies, men women and children in the news with this “new and current war” that some are calling WWIII.
We see the sexually immoral people who want to be treated as respectable and to have there way with anything and everyone. People who were born as GOD saw fit as a man to pretend he is a woman so he could stalk bathrooms to prey upon the females of any age who need to use the public bathrooms.
1 Corinthians Chapter 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Rich people who want the poor and needy to help others and while they hold onto their own money to stay rich. Celebrities who want to use their status to raise money for those of us who need help to eat in a safe clean home. You have seen those commercials. You know who I am referring to.
Proverbs 22:22
“Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:”
King James Version (KJV)
Proverbs 22:23
“For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.”
King James Version (KJV)
Our Uncle Sam will help the other children in foreign countries before he helps the children in his own home FIRST. We ne ed to help here at home first, then we can help others. You can’t get milk from a stone.
But as we see these things happen, we lean closer to our beloved FATHER GOD. We depend on GOD for help to rescue us from the nonsense of this world. And HE does, as we keep our faith in GOD. Know that JESUS is our perfect savior from this imperfect world.
Those who do not have the faith, who ignore what is going on will get anxiety and loose control of what they need to do. Which is the opposite of what they are doing right now. Listen to the warnings, turn to GOD. Accept JESUS as savior. Repent. Pray at all times. Until they learn this, they will continue to panic and run from GOD to seek shelter from the of the world by hiding IN THE world.
That’s like the devil chasing the devil out of the world his self. And we cannot save ourselves from sin on our very own. This is why JESUS came from heaven to save all of us sinful mankind.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 4:17
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
All of us who love JESUS are waiting to see HIM return like right now! We want to be free of all of this nonsense created by the devil! All of the lost souls who only want to do things their way. Have sinful lustful desires that are never filled. Keeping them lost looking for fulfillment in the sins they love. Going from one situation to another in sin.
The lost listen to the lies from the devil. That has a grip on their soul as long as they do not turn away from it. The lost do not see the harm they are in doing to themselves and others. These destructive soulful things they get a second of false pleasure from. Which leads them to keep going for the next “hit” like a drug addicted person seeking any kind of “street drug” for a high.
But you know what? Even some drug addicted people have given up drugs and came to JESUS and were saved. Others may have died not being saved and are suffering from the lies that they listened to from the devil. And this is so sad. It is like their souls were stolen from evil lies. Because it was.
But if we can reach others with the word of GOD, and tell them before it is too late they can be saved.
Jesus Coming Back
Matthew 24:36 – But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 – For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Revelation 1:7 – Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Revelation 22:12-13 – And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. John 14:3 – And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Matthew 24:31-33 – And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Revelation 1:8 – I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
1 Corinthians 15:52 – In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Isaiah 2:20-22 – In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
1 Thessalonians 4:17 – Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
We don’t want anyone to be left behind. Speak up for what is right. For if we do not tell our loved ones friends , family, and even people in passing by the truth, they may never know it. Plant the seed and let our beloved JESUS let the seed grow.
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
Hello all!
When you have to deal with this type of responsibility it is the end of childhood.😔 You not only will need to file your taxes at the end of the year, but you will need to pay sales taxes when you buy anything. State and local taxes are removed from your paycheck as well as Federal.
Matthew 22:21
“They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.”
King James Version (KJV)
It is not fun when you have realized how hard you have worked and how much taxes are taken out and given to our Uncle Sam. I always wondered why we call him “Uncle”.
I recall as a child seeing my parents file their taxes. Never smiling. To me it looked like homework that had to be done once a year. All of the figuring and writing that they were doing that seemed like it took hours to do. I thought to myself,
“Gee, I am glad I don’t have to do that. That looks hard, why didn’t they do a little each night the whole year before this so they wouldn’t have so much to do now?”
Why America pays taxes.
Taxes provide revenue for federal, local, and state governments to fund essential services–defense, highways, police, a justice system–that benefit all citizens, who could not provide such services very effectively for themselves.
Okay. So now I know why now. It has to be done at a certain time when the W2’s are sent out. And now I know why they complained about how much taxes were taken out too!
I hope you all will have a blessed day. For each day is a blessing from GOD. And we need to prepare ourselves for the day through talking and praying to GOD the FATHER 1st and foremost! Because GOD is the creator and is in control of all things.
We who love GOD and HIS son JESUS are the target for those who do hate JESUS! We are persecuted each day by those who are against our beloved savior. Some may not even know why they hate you at first sight, but they will let you know in their own way. They can even be in a conversation with another person, turn around and give an evil glare at you.
Ephesians Chapter 6
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
We must prepare ourselves with scripture, read it and believe it. This is why it was written with the instruction and inspiration from GOD to the apostles for the Bible we need to read for encouragement. It is the recipe for a good life and to walk in faith to please our beloved FATHER GOD.
It is good to know that GOD and HIS son JESUS is on your side. I tell you it is a very secure feeling. As long as you allow GOD to lead you in your steps. When these secular people will test you for whatever reason as to why they do it, stay firm. We may slip but our savior will catch us before we fall. March on, do GODS will in comfort and joy.
Past slip ups and mistakes will remind you each time you remember them to continue to pray. Depend on JESUS, and all HE had done save your soul. Past mistakes might remind you also that you are not perfect and need JESUS to guide you through this fallen world. For JESUS did walk through this fallen world and never sinned, so HE understands. There isn’t any way we can make it through in this world without JESUS.
Be strong and keep your faith. You will be tested. When or if you slip you have JESUS to pull you up. Stay away from those who are not on team JESUS and who do not love GOD. For when these people see that you are a Child of GOD, they will do their best to turn you away from who truly, truly loves you. Our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS son JESUS.
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?
When I was growing up as a child, halloween was all about candy. Trick or treat. I learned about it from attending school. Classmates would bring that celebration from what they have been doing into school.
Or the teacher would bring the idea in to introduce it to us kids by just telling it was trick or treat dressing up to get candy. Good, clean, fun as she explained it.
See, I would get candy when I wanted it all year round. And I didn’t see what the point was with this day to make it more special than Christmas. And halloween was always at night.
As a child, I went to bed at night. I didn’t go door to asking for candy. I saw the only difference between halloween candy was the way it was wrapped for halloween.
I didn’t fit in with kids who celebrated it anyway. Those of us kids that got along were teased because we were weird Church brats. That’s okay, considering how those kids turned out as adults. Nothing good.
Wanting to know more about this , I did research. Halloween has Celtic pagan roots from Europe that were brought here. The pagan pagan was of English, Irish, and Scottish peoples. They worshiped the demon Samhain on the 31st of October every year.
I am not telling you what to do, just informing you of what I learned regarding celebrating this event.
You will choose to or and celebrate or not. With anything you do does not have GOD in it and celebrates the opposite of what is righteous, reconsider it. This is your soul you need to protect.
The gathering of your friends and family can be done without adding evil to it. JESUS will return at any time. And to be caught celebrating samhain is not good. 😔
Please research for yourself. Read GOD’S word. Google info on halloween. It is better to repent and right than to regret later from being wrong.

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?
1 Corinthians 10:31
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
When I was a kid we didn’t have a personal computer. Those computers were only in offices, schools, or any city offices. Like what you saw in the movie “Ghost ” with Whoopi Goldberg.
Imagine that we couldn’t look things up that were current for the moment. Like the weather or to print out needed information or craft patterns or recipes.
I personally don’t know what it would be like without a computer because even our cell phones are hand-held computers.
Sheet music, too. I would have to depend on regular snail mail. Or drive down to the music store to get sheet music. There are no printable pdf files to download to save time and money either
Nehemiah 2:18
“Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.”

With no computer, there are no updates to go on a computer or having it crash. Losing information you were typing up to save in a file so you can turn it in for your report for school or work.
The thing about this blog is that I can reach people all over the globe. The computer can get it done in minutes as compared to weeks via the postal service.
Matthew 24:14
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”
