I recall watching my beloved Grandmother make sugar cookies. She had a special floral tea cup that made the right shape and size for the sugar cookies.

She rolled out the dough to the right thickness, then put the cookies on a tray. I don’t recall the exact recipe for the cookies. Nor the measurements she used. But I do know there was flour, sugar, butter, and maybe eggs.

Too young really understand teaspoons or table spoons to even reproduce the recipe. But watching her make those cookies was like magical. Forming those delicatecys was awesome.

Putting all of those ingredients together. Knowing how to make it right. Cooking them for the right time at the right temperature was like chemistry.

And when I watched her sprinkle the sugar on the cookies after the cooled down some, I was ready to try one. I tell you, biting into a warn sugar cookies from your loving is a pure, wonderful blessing. 🥰🥰🥰

1 Timothy 5:10

“Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.”

King James Version (KJV)

Thank you FATHER GOD for a good GOD fearing Grandmother!

Pampering myself. Be it inside for the soul , or for the body outside.

I have a place that I have some quiet time at. If I don’t have it. then it will seem like I am going continuously! And that could be very stressful if I was not smart enough to take time for myself.

Self care is very important to maintain good health both mentally and physically. I tell my husband when I need my quiet time to myself, and he understands me well.

Then there is the self care I need to connect to GOD in prayer with my husband. This is what I will call getting my spiritual bond with my husband charged.

My husband and I will get our bonding with our beloved FATHER GOD charged up in prayer. We will always need this in our marriage. We are one, as man and wife.

Self care is needed in this world of stressful situations that come along once in a while .

I take the time I need to get back on track with my mind, body, and soul. Helping myself first. I can not help others if I am not taking care of myself!

I try to remember to get the right amount of rest every day. With all I do all day, sleep is delicious!

Peace and blessings ❤️

You know what? Our GOD has given us another day of life! Make this notable!

We have a chance to start over with a clean slate. Put sins and burdens at the cross. It doesn’t matter what sins you have done. Or how long you have been doing them. Stop!

It is good to know we all can turn to JESUS. And the lies told by the devil to take your soul away from didn’t and won’t ever work.

When you believe in GOD, HIS son JESUS, and the HOLY Ghost, there is a feeling of unity and belonging.

I ha e not given it o. My GOD. I still love HIM and HIS SON JESUS. I still made it through this day to give GOD praise and the glory. I still have my trust in JESUS as my savior.

Making this a notable thing in this fallen world as how our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS can keep me up and going to give HIM praise!

Peace and blessings ❤️

I have always wanted to see and feel the part of the earth that our beloved savior had walked. I want to know what it could have been to walk beside my savior and look into HIS beautiful eyes in that day.

JESUS went through so much to save our souls from hell because of the love HE has for us

The power of JESUS is still strong there and all over the entire world. I would like to be able to do that with my whole family too, walk the path JESUS did across those cities.

There are other countries to visit, but to be where JESUS walked interests me more because of JESUS. My savior and all HE done for all mankind.

Golgotha is not for me to go see. It would hurt to know that JESUS was there until HE was risen. Loving JESUS, it would hurt to know why HE was there because of the sins of us mankind.

If I do go there, I will need plenty of tissues to wipe the tears from my eyes. Thank you, JESUS, for all you have done.

Peace and blessings ❤️

When you work full time and have chores to get done, at some point, I need a break. Work is work. My chores are the responsibilities you have as an adult.

And it is time-consuming to aim to cover it all when you can not. Some things need to wait.

But even a 20-minute to half hour of peaceful bliss of “wasting time” as just watching the clouds roll by or noticing how your garden is growing will let you relax.

Mark 6:31

“And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.”

King James Version (KJV)

I relax when I need to. I suppose it may be considered wasting time just sitting and doing nothing for a bit. Not wanting to” burn out”!

But for me, it is just peace away from the busy part of the day.

Thank GOD for rest.

Peace and blessings ❤️

When it comes down to trying to make ends meet, earning a living and finding ways to fix or make things my family has taught me well. From sewing, cooking, soapmaking, and gardening.

My husband is the same way, too! If he can make it or fix it , he will. As with the guy stuff like repairs to the house and property.

On my end, I really do like learning new things. No one was born straight out of the womb, the knowledge of baking bread . I wanted to know how to do it.

Soapmaking is something that fascinated me from a child when my grandmother’s sister made soap!

I still like trying new things. And of course doing things myself and not having to depend on shopping for it in the stores. We can’t depend on stores always having what you need when it is affordable.

We do what we can do!

Peace and blessings ❤️

I can’t really say I had a “crush ” on anyone in particular. Only because most of the boys I knew when I was a child seemed …mean. Mean because they were hitting girls and running away from the girl.

I asked my Mother. “Why do boys like to hit girls and then run?”

She said, “Because they like her.” Calmly as she was washing dishes.

In my mind, at the time, I thought that was mean to hit someone you liked. Mixed message if you had asked me!

But you see that I picked Michael Jackson. I had thought he was talented, and I was impressed. Never saw him hit a girl or woman. Plus, not bad looking.

So Michael Jackson is or was as close to anyone I can think of right now worth mentioning. He is one who was popular for 3 generations and beyond.

What I understand, Michael Jackson, was a jehovah witness. So when i learned that it removed any “Crush” feelings I may have had. I am not a jehovah witness. Our understanding of who JESUS is totally different. I know that JESUS is a Devine being from FATHER GOD.

Chapter 23

1(A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Putting GOD first 🙏🏾 in all we do keeps us from being bad! 😄😄😄

JESUS was no wimp. He obeyed GOD. He showed mankind the example of how us mankind should live here on this earth. To live as how GOD would have us to live.

JESUS was perfect, clean without sin, and the son of the most high one and only true living GOD. JESUS is Devine and was from heaven

HE came from heaven to save our souls, not to condemn anyone. To show us peace and a way to heaven to be with our beloved FATHER GOD.

It must have been awful to see what we mankind was doing to each other. The smell, what was seen, what was heard as compared to heaven.

HE was strong and steadfast in faith. Trusted GOD the FATHER. Prayed and obeyed the instruction of GOD.

And then, knowing that the people you come to save in love ❤️ hated you. Then seek to kill you for your efforts.

My beloved JESUS, thank you for all you have done, are doing , and will do. For those of us who love you, we await your return!

Peace and blessings ❤️

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. 😋

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.”
