Menu Plan Monday

Amazingly I accomplished this this morning!
The acorn squash is baked with maple syrup and brown sugar.
I insert a long aluminum nail in my baked potatoes then cover them with foil to bake. the bake in half the time and thus energy is saved. Think use less pay less for utilities and conserve the resources for our next generation.
I have a full week so I thought I would try to keep it simple by baking the meals all together. I'll bake the meat loaf and chicken dish with the sweet potatoes maybe.
Happy Valentines on Thursday. Beloved is going to take a long lunch to be with me. He will have to work overtime on Tuesday,Wednesday's and Friday to make up for it. I have his supper plated to our Wednesday evening is at a roller rink for the children's school has an event. I'll have to plate his food tonight also for he has mens meeting. Oh! he has mens meeting on Wednesday too oh drats! Thursday we plan to go out with friends yet it is still tentative.

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
